Current as of January 01, 2024 | Updated by Findlaw Staff

A. The exclusive right to the use of a name that complies with Section 108 of the Uniform Revised Limited Partnership Act may be reserved by:

(1) a person intending to organize a limited partnership pursuant to that act and to adopt the name;

(2) a limited partnership or a foreign limited partnership authorized to transact business in this state intending to adopt the name;

(3) a foreign limited partnership intending to obtain a certificate of authority to transact business in this state and adopt the name;

(4) a person intending to organize a foreign limited partnership and intending to have it obtain a certificate of authority to transact business in this state and adopt the name;

(5) a foreign limited partnership formed under the name; or

(6) a foreign limited partnership formed under a name that does not comply with Subsection B or C of Section 108 of the Uniform Revised Limited Partnership Act, but the name reserved pursuant to this paragraph may differ from the foreign limited partnership's name only to the extent necessary to comply with Subsections B and C of Section 108 of the Uniform Revised Limited Partnership Act.

B. A person may apply to reserve a name pursuant to Subsection A of this section by delivering to the secretary of state for filing an application that states the name to be reserved and the paragraph of Subsection A of this section that applies. If the secretary of state finds that the name is available for use by the applicant, the secretary of state shall file a statement of name reservation and thereby reserve the name for the exclusive use of the applicant for one hundred twenty days.

C. An applicant that has reserved a name pursuant to Subsection B of this section may reserve the same name for additional one hundred twenty-day periods. A person having a current reservation for a name may not apply for another one hundred twenty-day period for the same name until ninety days have elapsed in the current reservation.

D. A person that has reserved a name pursuant to this section may deliver to the secretary of state for filing a notice of transfer that states the reserved name, the name and street and mailing address of some other person to which the reservation is to be transferred and the paragraph of Subsection A of this section that applies to the other person. Subject to Subsection C of Section 206 of the Uniform Revised Limited Partnership Act, the transfer is effective when the secretary of state files the notice of transfer.
