7.__Enjoin use despite compliance.__Notwithstanding its
compliance with the requirements of this section, the use of an
assumed or fictitious name may be enjoined upon suit by the

statement required by subsection 4 was filed, comply with
the requirements of section 603-A; or

the records of the Secretary of State from a name in which
the plaintiff has prior rights by virtue of the common law
or statutory law of unfair competition, unfair trade

constitute actual use of the assumed or fictitious name set out
in that statement for the purpose of determining priority of
rights.

liability company may terminate an assumed or fictitious name by
executing and delivering to the Secretary of State a statement

transact business under the assumed or fictitious name; and

 
C.__The assumed or fictitious name the limited liability
company intends to terminate.
