A final determination under this subpart that a corporate name is available is concerned solely with the administrative convenience of the Department of Business Services, and does not warrant the name selected or guarantee the unqualified use of the name without regard to the rights of other parties. The Secretary of State does not pass upon the legality of a corporate name by merely permitting incorporation, qualification, reservation or registration under a name. A final determination of corporate name unavailability is not based on deceptiveness, confusing similarity or other such considerations derived from unfair competition and trademark law.
