Rule 2135 Fictitious name act saved

Pennsylvania law requires businesses that use a made-up or fictitious name to register that name with the state. This court rule simply says that the court's procedural rules do not cancel out or change that requirement.

If your business operates under a name that is not your real legal name, you still need to follow the state's registration laws. The court rules handle how lawsuits are filed and handled, but they do not replace laws about how businesses must register their names.
