Even my own state of Alabama, for example, (typically regarded as pretty backwards) has strong policies and procedures in place for this. In Alabama, formation of a limited liability entity whether a Corporation or LLC, etc, begins with a filing in the relevant county probate court of an Articles of Incorporation, Articles or Organization, trust formation documents, or similar. As part of the mandatory filing package for those document types, a name reservation certificate (which will be validated by the probate court) from the Alabama Secretary of State will be required. The filer must obtain those directly from the appropriate office of the Alabama Secretary of State. (It can be done online, with a credit card. The system enforces entity name uniqueness.) _______________________________________________ dev-security-policy mailing list [email protected] https://lists.mozilla.org/listinfo/dev-security-policy
