English term

"to file for a DBA"

English to Arabic Law/Patents Law (general) business
Here are the the sentences where this term has been mentioned:

"when he thought that I was going to sell him my shares, he filed for a DBA under that name"

"Holly (a person) found out that York opened a "Doing Business As" under that name -- Narrow Lake. "

Thanks a lot for time and effort.

The phrase "doing business as" (abbreviated DBA or d/b/a) is a legal term, meaning that the name under which the business or operation is conducted and presented to the world is not the legal name of the legal person (or persons) who actually own it and are responsible for it.

The distinction between an actual and a "fictitious" name is important because businesses with "fictitious" names give no obvious indication of the entity that is legally responsible for their operation.

USA
In several U.S. states, DBAs are officially referred to with other names. Oregon uses Assumed Business Names [1]; Washington calls DBAs trade names [2]; other states refer to trade styles or fictitious business names.

In many US jurisdictions for consumer protection purposes, most jurisdictions require businesses operating with fictitious names to file a DBA statement. This also reduces the possibility of two local businesses operating under the same name. Note, though, that this is not a replacement for obtaining a trademark. A DBA filing carries no legal weight in instances where a trademark would be necessary.
