That the registration was granted improperly. d. That the registration was obtained fraudulently. e. That the trade name registered is so similar to a trade name registered by another person as to be likely to cause confusion or mistake or to deceive. 3. A registration a district court orders canceled on any grounds. 4. A trade name when the registrant is a corporation, limited liability company, limited partnership, limited liability partnership, or limited liability limited partnership that has ceased to exist for six months. 5.
