§ 209-e. Preservation of existing remedies; use of true name. Nothing
in this article shall prevent, lessen, impeach, or avoid any remedy at
law or in equity which any party aggrieved by any wrongful use of any
such name or designation might have had if the foregoing provisions
relating to the registration of hotel or motel names had not been
enacted; nor shall the same be retroactive; nor shall any person be
prohibited from using his or her own true name in connection with the
operation of any hotel or motel now in existence or hereafter
constructed.
