WHAT IS THE EFFECT OF REGISTRATION
Notwithstanding the provisions of any other law, registration under the Fictitious Name Act, 865.09 Florida Statutes, is for public notice only, and gives rise to no presumption of the registrant's rights to own or use the name registered, nor does it affect trademark, service mark, trade name or corporate name rights previously acquired by others in the name or a similar name. Registration under this Act does not reserve a fictitious name against future use by another party.
