Arkansas Code Title 4. Business and Commercial Law § 4-27-406. Notice to registrant regarding use of corporate, fictitious, or assumed names in violation of trademark

(a) Neither the reservation of any proposed name, nor the acceptance of the filing of any articles of incorporation, nor the registration of any foreign corporation's name, nor the registration of an assumed or fictitious name shall authorize the use of the corporate name, assumed name, or fictitious name in violation of any rights of another arising under the trademark laws of the United States, this state, or the common law or provide a defense to an action for violation of any such rights.

(b) Upon reserving any proposed corporate name, or upon accepting the filing of any articles of incorporation, or upon registering for any foreign corporation's name, or upon registering any assumed or fictitious name, the Secretary of State shall issue the following notice to the registrant (selecting the appropriate name from each bracket):

“The Secretary of State of Arkansas has [reserved your proposed corporate name; accepted the filing of your articles of incorporation; registered your corporate name; recorded your assumed or fictitious name]. However, this does not necessarily give you the right to use your [proposed corporate name; corporate name; assumed or fictitious name] in this state if the use violates someone else's trade name, trademark, or service mark rights under the trademark laws of the United States, this state, or the common law. Prior to your use of the name, you are encouraged to research the names and marks of other parties used or registered in this state, or registered in the United States Patent and Trademark Office, or consult an attorney to determine the existence of any conflicting rights.”
