1. Except as otherwise provided in subsection 2, if a limited partnership applies to reinstate or revive its right to transact business but its name has been legally reserved or acquired by any other artificial person formed, organized, registered or qualified pursuant to the provisions of this title whose name is on file with the Office of the Secretary of State or reserved in the Office of the Secretary of State pursuant to the provisions of this title, the applying limited partnership shall submit in writing to the Secretary of State some other name under which it desires its right to be reinstated or revived. If that name is distinguishable from all other names reserved or otherwise on file, the Secretary of State shall reinstate or revive the limited partnership under that new name.

2. If the applying limited partnership submits the written, acknowledged consent of the other artificial person having the name, or the person who has reserved the name, that is not distinguishable from the old name of the applying limited partnership or a new name it has submitted, it may be reinstated or revived under that name.

3. For the purposes of this section, a proposed name is not distinguishable from a name on file or reserved name solely because one or the other contains distinctive lettering, a distinctive mark, a trademark or a trade name, or any combination thereof.

4. The Secretary of State may adopt regulations that interpret the requirements of this section.
