If I have checked and found no use of the name I want in the State but have also found a registration for that name, can I get the Department to revoke the earlier registration?
Sometimes a person registers a name and then either doesn't use it or uses it for a while and then abandons the name. If a registration is not used for a period of one year, you can petition the Department to revoke that registration. The procedure for doing so is outlined in separate instructions which you can obtain from the Department.
