[Opinion Summary] 1995-45 [Related Statues] CPLR § 8017; GENERAL BUSINESS LAW § 130 [3] PDF [Abstract] 
The county clerk may accept for filing a certificate that indicates a person is doing business under an assumed name that appears to be the name of a person, when the certificate describes the secondary, historic or geographic meaning or connotation of the assumed name. The clerk may not require that such a certificate be filed in other counties before it is accepted for filing in the clerk's county. The exemption set forth in CPLR § 8017 applies only to the county served by the clerk with whom papers are to be filed. The county clerk may correct an obvious clerical error and remove erroneously recorded documents from the record, taking whatever steps are deemed necessary to avoid confusion as a result of the removal.
