The Colorado Secretary of State shows a new Trade Name filing for ANACS as of 9/9/2016: https://www.sos.state.co.us/biz/Bus...BusinessEntityDetail&masterFileId=20161612738 Which was filed by "EKW LLC", which was formed on 7/31/2015: https://www.sos.state.co.us/biz/Bus...yResults&nameTyp=ENT&masterFileId=20151498572 With a "Thomas F. Quinn" listed and a physical address identified by Google as ANACS. I knew ANACS was bought by Driving Force, LLC (James Taylor): https://www.sos.state.co.us/biz/Bus...yResults&nameTyp=ENT&masterFileId=20071548111 but the last periodic report was due 8/2015 (last filed was in 2014, so the entity is 'non-compliant'). Anybody know anything???
That's just the trade name registration. Those are occasionally held by attorneys or accountants. Or, as in this case, by an agent. It might just mean that the actual locality of the ownership is outside of the State of Colorado, so they have an agent file the paperwork for trademark.
There is an agent who filed the registration listed with their address, but the 2nd name is actually listed at the ANACS building. The annual report is due soon, but that's just a 2 page form that says "yup, we're still here". I guess the interesting point is the apparent end of Driving Force, LLC and perhaps James Taylor's involvement??? Fallout from the lawsuit????
What do you mean by the "2nd name" in the preceding post? Both EKW & Thomas Quinn show up along with Colorado Agent (or something like that) on the State site.
EKW is the llc (company) name, Quinn the responsible party. Co Agent is the agent. The LLC could have put another shield in place by having a nominee instead of listing Mr. Quinn.
Taylor worked for ICG. He bought out ANACS and stole ICG's largest account. He and ANACS got sued by a third party who was receiving a referral commission from ICG.
