A fictitious name or “Doing Business As” (DBA) name is a business name that is different from your personal name, the names of your partners or the officially registered name of your LLC or corporation. DBA names can also be called trade names or assumed names. For example: John Smith sets up a painting business and chooses to name it “John Smith Painting.” Because “John Smith Paining” is considered a DBA (assumed) name, John will need to register it as a fictitious business name with a government agency. Sole Proprietors or Partnerships – If you wish to start a business under any name other than your real one, you’ll need to register a DBA name so that you can do business under the DBA name.

Look Who's Touting a 3,200 Percent Return on Investment: The Commerce Department | BNET
Thumbing through the proposed 2012 Federal budget I noticed $143 million earmarked for the Hollings Manufacturing Extension Partnership -- a relatively unsung arm of the Commerce Department 's National Institute of Standards and Technology. "M-E-P," as it's called, was created in 1988 to assist companies with fewer than 500 workers tap a nationwide network of public and private resources attuned to growth, cost cutting and innovation. The results sound stunning.
MOST people would describe a dollar millionaire as rich, yet many millionaires would disagree. They do not compare themselves with teachers or shop assistants but with the other parents at their children’s private schools. To count the number of rich people in the world, however, an arbitrary cut-off point is needed, and $1m is as good as any.

3 Geeks and a Law Blog: The NEW In-House Counsel – Protect Our Rights; Make Us Money; Don't Use Outside Counsel
Martindale-Hubbell released an interesting report this morning called "The Profitable Legal Department: How legal departments can prosper by generating revenue for their company." The report follows the legal departments of DuPont, Tyco and Standard Life and reports on the success of each of their "recovery programs" that take a more aggressive stance to assert the company's rights through litigation. The report focuses on "how legal departments can cease to be viewed purely as a cost centre in the company and, instead, can proactively generate (or recover) revenue for the business to the point where it may even become a profit centre." The theme seems to be that the financial crisis has caused companies to re-evaluate their legal departments and no longer be content with looking at them as purely an overhead expense to monitor compliance, but to revamp the department to be more vigilant in protecting the company's Intellectual Property and other rights through legal action.Twenty-nine individuals wrote a chapter for Bright Ideas Global Law

The company he sued, Brooks Brothers, claims Stauffer is a busybody, butting into something that isn't his concern. In legal terms, the company claims Stauffer lacks standing to sue.
