950 CMR, § 107.08 - Protest of Name; Hearing Procedure
In the event of a controversy arising over the use of a particular name by a foreign corporation, all the parties involved have a right to a hearing before the Division pursuant to M.G.L. c. 181, § 5.
The protest must be in writing and must be filed with the Division within 30 days after the date when an initial certificate, or an amended certificate effecting change of name, of the foreign corporation has been filed with the Division. The regulations governing the hearing procedures followed by the Division are established by 950 CMR 101.00 ("Rules for Adjudicatory Proceedings Conducted by the Corporations Division" which were adopted July 22, 1975). These Rules are available from the Division upon request and payment of a 60¢ fee.
