§ 1623. Registration by corporations and limited liability companies

(a) A corporation or limited liability company doing business in this state under any name other than that of the corporation or limited liability company shall be subject to all the provisions of this chapter; and shall file returns sworn to by some officer or member of such corporation or by some member or manager of such limited liability company, setting forth the name other than the corporate or limited liability company name under which such business is carried on, the name of the town wherein such business is to be carried on, a brief description of the kind of business transacted under such name, and the corporate or the limited liability company name and location of the principal office of such corporation or limited liability company.

(b) The secretary of state shall decline to register any business name that is the same as, deceptively similar to, or likely to be confused with or mistaken for any other business name of any name registered or reserved under this chapter or the name of any other entity, whether domestic or foreign, that is reserved, registered, or granted by or with the secretary of state, or any name that would lead a reasonable person to conclude that the business is a type of entity that it is not.
