How does the state of Iowa entity name search perform a search result?
- An entity name search is performed in the state of Iowa by the business file number, business name, entity current status and type of entity.
- A keyword is simply typed in the search bar field to check the name availability and the extension or an indicator is not required to type at the end of the name like in New York, which is required to search an entity name availability. Because the state of Iowa stripped off or ignore the extension, such as a corporation or limited liability company.
- This must be kept in mind that it is a preliminary name search and the final determination will be granted by the examiner, if the entity name is available to use.
- This name is limited to use in the state of Iowa and it does not cover the entire nation. A nationwide trademark name application is filed with the USA to protect the name nationwide.
- This state of Iowa is not connected with the USPTO and a person can use the same name in the other state if the name is available, regardless of the trademark name registration. You can send a legal notice to the take the name off, if you have received an approval by the USPTO and reserve all the rights to use the name nationwide.
