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.
