and, if a corporation or other
type of business entity except a partnership, the state of incorporation or organization, or if a
partnership, the state in which the partnership is organized and the names
of the general partners, as specified by the secretary, of the person claiming
ownership of the mark, the date claimed for the first use of the mark anywhere
and the date claimed for the first use of the mark in this state, the class

sufficient proof of the registration of such mark in any actions or judicial
proceedings in any court of this state. Registration of a mark with the secretary
