20 Del. Admin. Code § 102-2.0

Current through Register Vol. 28, No. 5, November 1, 2024

Section 102-2.0 - Purpose

2.1 The purpose of this regulation is to clarify the standards in Delaware regarding the names of Delaware business entities, while, in a narrowly-tailored fashion, preventing the naming of a business entity in a manner that is likely to violate the law, mislead the public or lead to a pattern and practice of abuse that would cause harm to the interests of the public or the State of Delaware.

2.2 The Division expressly determines that its Delaware Corporate Information System ("DCIS"), which is the State's computerized, online system for business organization filings, to be a non-public forum and not a platform for the exercise of legal rights. This regulation outlines the standards for entity names and the process of review, which carefully and narrowly balances any alleged infringement on statutory requirements, public policies, and the rights of others, against the interests of the public and the State of Delaware, including Delaware's interest in its standing in the global business-community.
