§ 87A.635. Name of partnership: Distinguishable name required; limitations; availability of name of forfeited, merged or otherwise terminated partnership; regulations

1. The name proposed for a registered limited-liability limited partnership must contain

the words “Limited-Liability Limited Partnership” or “Registered Limited-Liability

Limited Partnership” or the abbreviation “L.L.L.P.” or “LLLP” as the last words or

letters of the name and must be distinguishable on the records of the Secretary of

State from the names of all other artificial persons formed, organized, registered

or qualified pursuant to the provisions of this title that are on file in the Office

of the Secretary of State and all names that are reserved in the Office of the Secretary

of State pursuant to the provisions of this title. If the name of the registered limited-liability limited partnership on a certificate

of registration of limited-liability limited partnership submitted to the Secretary

of State is not distinguishable from any name on file or reserved name, the Secretary

of State shall return the certificate to the person who signed it, unless the written,

acknowledged consent to the same name of the holder of the name on file or reserved

name to use the name accompanies the certificate. 2. The Secretary of State shall not accept for filing any certificate of registration

or any certificate of amendment of a certificate of registration of any registered

limited-liability limited partnership formed or existing pursuant to the laws of this

State which provides that the name of the registered limited-liability limited partnership

contains the words “common-interest community,” “community association,” “master association,”

“unit-owners' association” or “homeowners' association” or if it appears in the certificate

of registration or certificate of amendment that the purpose of the registered limited-liability

limited partnership is to operate as a unit-owners' association pursuant to chapter 116 or 116B of NRS unless the Administrator of the Real Estate Division of the Department of Business

and Industry certifies that the registered limited-liability limited partnership has: (a) Registered with the Ombudsman for Owners in Common-Interest Communities and Condominium

Hotels pursuant to NRS 116.31158 or 116B.625 ; and (b) Paid to the Administrator of the Real Estate Division the fees required pursuant

to NRS 116.31155 or 116B.620 . 3. For the purposes of this section, a proposed name is not distinguishable from a

name on file or reserved name solely because one or the other contains distinctive

lettering, a distinctive mark, a trademark or a trade name, or any combination thereof. 4. The name of a registered limited-liability limited partnership whose right to transact

business has been forfeited, which has merged and is not the surviving entity or whose

existence has otherwise terminated is available for use by any other artificial person. 5. The Secretary of State may adopt regulations that interpret the requirements of

this section.
