(a) Affect the validity or invalidity of the application in whole or part; or

(b) Relate to the correctness or incorrectness of information contained in the application.

(5) The Secretary of State's refusal to register an assumed business name does not create a presumption that the application is invalid or that information contained in the application is incorrect.
