The phrase "doing business as" (abbreviated DBA or d/b/a) is a legal
term, meaning that the name of the business or operation does not
include the legal name of its proprietor, the names of all partners,
or the official registered name of the limited partnership or
corporation that owns it.

(Trademark, service mark or dba) - If a trademark, service mark, or
dba is to be used it must first be filed with and approved by the
