Legal Question in Business Law in Florida

Are LLC names preotected?

Hello -

I own an LLC in florida that was formed and registered in 6/30/04. Today I discovered that someone registered an LLC with the same name as mine in 11/30/04. Both LLC's are in good standing.

What can I do to get the other LLC revoked? As I understand it two LLC's cannot (should not?) have the exact same name and mine was formed on the earlier date.

Regards,

Marco

You are corect. If correspondence fails achieve the desired result, litigation would become necessary. Call me for an appointment.

You will need to file suit to force the other company to stop using the name. I am available to consult with you on this case.
