So starting my company. Going to get LLC done. I want a certain name and I saw another guy has it in my city and state but doesn’t have it LLC or any registered. He’s doing the same line of work I am in. But under false info. If he hasn’t made an LLC can I take the name? And also can I tell him to stop using it?
You can technically register it and send him a letter saying to stop using the name. He would need to prove in court he was using it before you, which jt sounds like he can. You would most likely lose. He might change it rather than fight it in court.
Not worth it either way. A name alone doesn’t make a company.
