Connecticut General Statutes Title 34. Limited Partnerships, Partnerships, Professional Associations, Limited Liability Companies and Statutory Trusts § 34-407. Domestic and foreign limited liability partnerships: Reservation of name

(a) The exclusive right to use a limited liability partnership name may be reserved by: (1) Any person intending to form a registered limited liability partnership and to adopt that name; (2) any registered limited liability partnership, or any foreign registered limited liability partnership operating in this state, that intends to adopt that name; (3) any foreign registered limited liability partnership intending to operate in this state and to adopt that name; or (4) any person intending to apply for a certificate of authority for a foreign registered limited liability partnership to operate in this state and to adopt that name.

(b) The reservation shall be made by filing with the Secretary of the State an application together with the applicable fee, executed by the applicant, to reserve a specified name. If the Secretary of the State finds that the name is available for use by a registered limited liability partnership or foreign registered limited liability partnership, he shall reserve the name for the exclusive use of the applicant for a period of one hundred twenty days counting the date of such filing as the first of the one hundred twenty days.

(c) The holder of a reserved limited liability partnership name may renew the reservation for successive periods of one hundred twenty days each from the date of such renewal.

(d) The right of the exclusive use of a reserved name may be transferred to another person by filing with the Secretary of the State a notice of the transfer, executed by the applicant for whom the name was reserved and specifying the name to be transferred and the name and address of the transferee. The transfer shall not extend the term during which the name is reserved.

(e) Any person for whom a specified limited liability partnership name has been reserved pursuant to subsection (b) of this section may, during the period for which such name is reserved, terminate such reservation by filing in the office of the Secretary of the State an application for cancellation of reservation of limited liability partnership name, together with the applicable fee.
