The filing of any fictitious business name statement pursuant to Section 17910 does not, of itself, authorize the use in this state of a fictitious business name in violation of the rights of another as established under this chapter, the federal law relating to trademarks (15 U.S.C. Sec. 1051 et seq.), or the common law, including rights in a trade name.
Notes
Limits the legal effect of filing a fictitious business name statement by providing that filing alone does not authorize use of a fictitious business name that violates another person’s rights. Protected rights include those established under this chapter, federal trademark law, and common law, including rights in a trade name.
