Similar or resembling name claims allow existing entities and trademark owners to seek directions for a later LLP to change its name. Applications alleging that a later LLP's name is similar or too nearly resembles an existing name or registered trade mark may be made to the Regional Director in the prescribed form; trade mark proprietors are subject to a three year limitation. The application must be verified, state identifying numbers, the earlier name and grounds of objection, attach incorporation or registration proof, and be accompanied by the prescribed fee.
