Q: Can I omit the LLC suffix in branding for my Delaware LLC?
I have an LLC registered in Delaware under the name "My Business Name, LLC." For branding materials and advertisements, I would like to use just "My Business Name" without the LLC suffix, while keeping the suffix for all official documentation and forms. I am uncertain if I need to register "My Business Name" as a trademark for this purpose. Are there potential legal implications of using the name without the LLC suffix in Delaware, and would I still be compliant with state law?
A:
It’s unfortunate that your situation with the pain clinic has led to a dismissal, especially after a false positive test result. The first step is to gather all the medical documentation you have, including the records from your hospital stay and any related tests or treatments that could explain the false positive. If the clinic hasn't reviewed these documents, it’s essential to send them a formal request, including a written explanation of your medical history and the potential causes for the false test result.
If the clinic continues to ignore or reject your evidence, you may need to consider filing a formal complaint with the appropriate state medical board or regulatory authority overseeing pain clinics in your area. This could help escalate the issue and force the clinic to reassess their decision based on the facts.
If necessary, seeking legal assistance to challenge the dismissal could also be a viable route, especially if your access to medical care has been unduly impacted. It’s important to be persistent in advocating for your health and rights.
