Partnership, Joint Venture, or Other “Firm”

If a partnership, joint venture, or other “firm” has been

organized under a particular business name, the application should be filed in that

name.

See

37 C.F.R.

§2.32(a)(2)

. If the partnership or firm has not been organized

under a business name, the names of the members should be listed as though they

composed a company name.  If a partnership or joint venture is doing business under

an assumed name, this may be indicated, using an assumed name designation.  See

TMEP §803.02

regarding assumed name designations, and

TMEP §803.03(b)

for information about identifying a

partnership or joint venture as a legal entity.
