Law reviews. - For note on 1989 amendment to this Code section, see 6 Ga. St. U. L. Rev. 184 (1989).
COMMENT Note to Georgia Revised Uniform Limited Partnership Act This section permits any person to reserve the exclusive right to use of a name for 60 days. Prior Georgia Law There was no comparable provision. Comparison With Official RULPA The official version only permits reservation in designated situations, including by ‘‘a person intending to organize a limited partnership. . . .’’ This test serves little purpose and introduces an element of uncertainty. The reservation under RULPA is for 120 day-periods, which can be renewed 60 days after expiration. Note to 1990 Amendment The 1990 amendment extends the non-renewable name reservation period for limited partnerships from 60 to 90 days. Cross-References Rules regarding limited partnership name: § 14-9-102. Special one-year name reservation for limited partnerships formed under prior law: § 14-9-1203. Secretary of State Rules on name reservations: 590-7-10.05; 590-7-11. RESEARCH REFERENCES Am. Jur. 2d. - 59A Am. Jur. 2d, Partnership, § 778.
