58-2812. Licenses not granted to applicants with corporate or business names duplicative of corporate or business names of licensees in counties where applicant to transact business; exception. No license to make, compile or complete and sell abstracts of title to real estate in Kansas shall be granted to any corporation hereafter applying for a corporate license under the provisions of article 28 of chapter 58 of the Kansas Statutes Annotated or acts amendatory of the provisions thereof or supplemental thereto where it appears that the corporate name duplicates or is quite similar to that of a duly qualified, active and existing corporation already licensed within the county where such corporate applicant desires to transact its business. Neither shall a license be granted to any individual, association, firm, person or partnership who shall choose a business name which duplicates or is similar to that of a presently licensed individual, association, firm, person or partnership actively engaged in abstracting within the county where such license applicant intends to do business, unless such name consists of, or is directly derived from, the name of an individual directly connected with the licensee.
