You should not rely on or take action based on this communication without first presenting ALL relevant details to a competent attorney in your jurisdiction and then receiving the attorney�s individualized advice for you.

If you do not agree, then stop right here, and do not read any further.

RESPONSE: Your question lacks specification. But I can tell you that if you are simply using a fictitious name, then the statute is very specific in stating that you do NOT have an exclusive right to it, regardless of whether you registered it or not. Should you need assistance in creating an LLC or Corporation, or Professional Association, for your dental practice, then you may contact the undersigned.

Sincerely,
