Any person, firm, corporation, or association owning shopping carts, laundry carts, dairy cases, egg baskets, poultry boxes, or bakery containers may register with the Department of State a description of the name or mark affixed or stamped on such carts, cases, baskets, boxes, or containers for identification purposes. If the department determines that the name or mark is not a duplication of any name or mark previously recorded in its files and does not so closely resemble any other recorded name or mark as to be misleading or deceiving, it shall register and record such name or mark in a file to be provided and kept by the department for that purpose, along with the name and address of the registered owner of the name or mark. If the department determines that the name or mark so applied for is a duplication of any name or mark previously recorded by the department, or so closely resembles the previously recorded name or mark as to be misleading or deceiving, the application shall be denied; and the applicant may register some other name or mark in the manner described in this section.
