In the US it a form known as an "unincorporated association" and is recognized in some, but not all, states. (Partnerships also don't have to have an act of legal formation.) The US Trademark Act allows for registration by an unincorporated association if it is in a state which recognizes them. Are there parallels in other countries? Pam Pamela S.
