Not Ranked
Gary,
it means nothing more than the worst case scenario the OCC has to pick another name. However, I'm sure some one checked with the State of Ohio to make sure it wasn't already in use.
In very lay terms If 'they' missed it, and 'they' have missed some over the years then you need to check to see if the original entity is valid or non valid. Assuming either way, the originator can be approached and see if he wants to give up the name. If not, pick a new name. I know "he" had the name prior to December 1998. I do not know if he ever filed for it.
