Except for major projects that are related to the overall situation and long-term development of the national economy, have an important impact on national security, or projects with special regulations, enterprises use their own funds or bank loans to invest in non-restricted industries by the state and autonomous regions. For projects that require the government to balance construction and operation conditions, the competent government departments will only review and approve the project proposals; for projects that do not require the government to balance construction and operation conditions, a project registration and filing system will be implemented. Except for major projects or projects with special regulations, foreign-invested projects use their own funds and commercial bank loans to invest in projects encouraged by the state and autonomous regions and advantageous industries. The competent government departments will only review and approve the feasibility study report and project proposal of the project. , The start-up report will no longer be submitted to the competent government department for approval.

Components of the company name

Administrative division name

The name of the administrative division in the company name refers to the name of the administrative division above the county level, excluding Zhang, town and Other geographical names.

When the enterprise name is named after an administrative division, the name of the administrative division can be "Xian". It is the name of the administrative division. You can also omit "province", "province", "city" and "county". " and other words. For example, "Guangdong Province", "Nanjing City", "LAN", "city", "county" and other words may cause misunderstanding. The words "city", "county" and other words are directly preceded by "Guangdong". "Nanjing", "Lankao". The name of administrative division is omitted. “Province” should not be omitted.

The name of an enterprise should generally be preceded by the name of the administrative division where the enterprise is located. Specifically for an enterprise, its domicile is No. ** Street **, ** County (District), ** Province ** City, and the name of the administrative division in its name is generally ** just use the name of the administrative division, or it can also be the same as the city The name of the administrative division is used together, or even the name of the administrative division is used together.

For the joint use of provincial, municipal and county administrative divisions, almost all provinces and cities require direct approval by the municipal and county industrial and commercial administration bureaus.

In recent years, due to the strengthening of corporate awareness and self-protection awareness, there have been companies in the same industry with the same security number. The difference between the company names is that one is preceded by "** province" and the other is preceded by "** **Province **City", or "**Province **County", both were approved for registration because they were not subject to the approval of the enterprise name registration authority, and both parties believed that the other party's name was similar to their own. This situation should be avoided as much as possible. For this reason, in practice, the provincial and municipal industrial and commercial administration bureaus should reconsider the division of approval rights for such names. As long as provincial or municipal names appear, they will be managed by the provincial or municipal industrial and commercial administrations. Bureau approved. In addition, the names of municipal districts are not unique in the country. For example, "Shizhong District" exists in several cities. If Li is used as the name of an administrative division in the name of an enterprise, it may easily lead to misunderstanding of the same name. Therefore, it is not appropriate to use the names of administrative divisions of municipal districts in conjunction with the names of municipal administrative divisions.

If the enterprise name is applied not to be named with the name of the administrative division of the county (district) where it is located, but directly with the name of the city administrative division or the name of the provincial administrative division, unless the enterprise is in compliance with the registration requirements of the provincial or municipal industrial and commercial administration bureaus, In addition to registration directly with the provincial and municipal industrial and commercial administration bureaus, certain conditions must also be met and approved directly by the provincial and municipal industrial and commercial administration bureaus. Specific conditions are formulated by the provincial and municipal administrations for industry and commerce. For example, the Anhui Provincial Administration for Industry and Commerce stipulates that newly established enterprises (companies) in prefectures, cities, and counties that require the name of a province must be production-oriented, and their registered capital must not be less than 10 million yuan; if an established enterprise (company) is required to be named directly by the province, it should be a key and leading enterprise in the same industry in the province, with established products, good economic benefits, high visibility inside and outside the province, and a net worth Should be above RMB 10 million.

The name of the administrative division in the enterprise name should be the name of the administrative division below the county where the enterprise is located, not the name of the administrative division where the enterprise is located.

Therefore, the name of an enterprise domiciled in Sichuan should not be named "Jilin", and the name of an enterprise domiciled in Jiangsu cannot be named "Shanghai******". In addition, the name of the administrative division should be the name of the current administrative division and does not include The names of administrative divisions that have been used in history, such as "East China", "Rehe", etc.; the customary abbreviations or common names of existing administrative division names (such as Shanghai for Shanghai and Guangdong for Yangcheng) appear in the name and should not be classified according to administrative divisions. Zoning name recognition.

Various names such as "Economic and Technological Development Zones", "Bonded Zones", "New Technology Development Zones", and "Industrial Parks" shall not be used as the names of administrative divisions. However, under the premise that the name of the enterprise is named after the name of an administrative division above the county level, the name of the administrative division can be suffixed with a name such as "Economic and Technological Development Zone" approved by the relevant departments.

According to the current regulations, unless the name of the administrative division is not required in compliance with special provisions, the name of the enterprise should be named with the name of the administrative division where the enterprise is located, that is, the name of the administrative division should be placed at the front of the enterprise name, as follows: If the name of an administrative division appears in the middle of the entire name, it is not regarded as the name of the administrative division. Such names should also be registered and managed as enterprise names without the name of the administrative division, and must be approved by the State Administration for Industry and Commerce before they can be used.

In recent years, due to the development of Chinese enterprises, when some large enterprises set up wholly-owned subsidiaries or controlled subsidiaries in other provinces and cities, they hope to refer to the practices of foreign enterprises, unify the names of parent and subsidiary enterprises, and change the names of administrative divisions. Put it in the middle of the company name. From an international perspective, this is a number of font sizes that place the name of the administrative division in the middle of the company name. Internationally, this is a common practice in many countries. In view of the above situation, the State Administration for Industry and Commerce has made corresponding adjustments in the revised "Enterprise Name Registration Management Regulations (Draft for Review)", which stipulates that if an enterprise legal person has one of the following circumstances, the administrative division in the name may be removed. After the font size:

(1) The name of the holding company does not contain administrative divisions and its font size is used;

(2) The font size of a foreign (region) holding company is used.

This provision will be implemented after the new "Enterprise Name Registration Management Regulations" are approved and promulgated by the State Council, at which time such enterprise names will be directly approved by the corresponding local industrial and commercial administration bureaus.

According to the current "Enterprise Name Registration Management Regulations", enterprise names that meet the following conditions may not be named after the name of the administrative region where they are located after approval by the State Administration for Industry and Commerce:

(1) ) National companies;

(2) Large-scale import and export enterprises approved by the State Council or its authorized agencies;

(3) Large-scale enterprise groups approved by the State Council or its authorized agencies;

(4) Enterprises with a long history and well-known brands;

(5) Foreign-invested enterprises;

(6) Others specified by the State Administration for Industry and Commerce Enterprises;

The above regulations are relatively strict. The first three and fifth items mainly apply to enterprises registered with the State Administration for Industry and Commerce; the fourth item refers to "enterprises with a long history and well-known brands". It refers to an enterprise with a production and operation history of more than 30 years and a brand name that is well-known throughout the province or the country. If local enterprises do not want to bear the name of an administrative division, very few can meet this requirement. In view of this situation, the Administration for Industry and Commerce revised and submitted the "Enterprise Name Registration Management Regulations (Draft for Review)", in line with the principle of supporting large local enterprises, clear standards and quantification, and revised the above conditions. Enterprise legal persons meet the following conditions For one of the above, you can use a name that does not include the entire division:

(1) The registered capital is more than 50 million yuan;

(2) The name is recognized as a well-known name:

(3) Wholly foreign-owned enterprises, foreign (regional) enterprises using capital contributions;

(4) Approved by the State Council;

(5) National industrial and commercial administration Enterprises registered with the bureau.

According to the principle of national treatment, the name of a foreign-invested enterprise should be the same as that of a domestic enterprise, and in principle should also be named after the name of the administrative division where it is located.

However, according to the "Regulations on the Registration and Management of Enterprise Legal Persons", foreign-invested enterprises are registered by the State Administration for Industry and Commerce. The current "Regulations on the Registration and Management of Enterprise Names" clearly stipulates this as a condition for applying for an enterprise name not to be based on the administrative division of the place where it is located. In order to meet the needs of the gradual development of commercial investment enterprises, the State Administration for Industry and Commerce has adopted management measures for the authorized party, the Administration for Industry and Commerce to register foreign-invested enterprises. With the increasing number of authorized local industrial and commercial administration bureaus, it is no longer necessary for the names of foreign-invested enterprises to be named without the names of administrative divisions. On the contrary, unified requirements will add necessary procedures to the name approval of foreign-invested enterprises. Therefore, in practice, foreign-invested enterprises have been required to generally bear the name of an administrative division, and corresponding adjustments have been made to the above-mentioned new conditions.

Although the above conditions are still relatively strict, and only a small number of enterprises (especially newly established enterprises) can meet the conditions, they are much wider than the current regulations. Due to the vast territory of our country and relatively backward transportation, communication, and management methods, the situation of separate registration by more than 3,000 registration agencies across the country will continue for quite some time, and most enterprise names must still be named after administrative divisions. However, as conditions in all aspects improve, the above conditions will be further relaxed, and enterprises will ultimately be able to choose whether to use the name of an administrative division or the name of an administrative division.

--------------------------------------------- -------------------------------------

Font size

Font size is the core element of an enterprise and should consist of more than two Chinese characters. A company name is a symbol that distinguishes a certain company from other companies or other social organizations. The name is the concept of the company name, and it also points out the role of the company name, and the symbolic role of the company name is mainly reflected through the font size.

No matter what the situation is, any company name is completely consistent with some elements of other company names, or even the names of administrative divisions, but as long as the font sizes are different, the public will not misunderstand the two. The enterprise name shall not be the same as or similar to the name of a registered enterprise in the same industry within the jurisdiction of the same registration authority, which mainly refers to the fact that the trade name shall not be the same or similar.

A well-known company name often has a good font size. This font size not only has the symbolic value of a general company name and font size, but also has certain economic value. When people mention these names, they will think of the company's outstanding achievements in a certain field, the company's good reputation and their high-quality products or services.

During the planned economy period, most enterprises were established by administrative departments, and most of the enterprise names did not have trade names. We can still see such enterprise names today, such as: ** Provincial Food Company, etc.

With the deepening of reform and opening up and the development of the socialist market economy, enterprises have paid more and more attention to the brand name of the company, and a number of well-known brand names such as "Sitong" and "Jianlibao" have appeared.

A well-known name refers to an enterprise name that is best known to the society in a certain industry or multiple industries within a certain range. A well-known brand name is the culmination of many years of business operations and marks the company's achievements in a certain industry or field. The font size itself is famous. The popularity of a company's name is often directly related to the company's potential benefits, and also shows the public's recognition of the company's contribution to society. , and can even be measured in monetary terms. Therefore, it is very important for countries around the world to protect well-known names.

The current "Enterprise Name Registration and Management Regulations" do not clearly define what a well-known name is, the standards that constitute a well-known name, and the scope of protection of a well-known name.

With the advancement of my country's reform and opening up policy and the gradual formation of the socialist market economic system, social awareness continues to strengthen. At the same time, the phenomenon of impersonating other people's well-known names and infringing on the rights and interests of other people's business names has increased. Company name disputes occur from time to time, and companies have to protect their rights. The growing demand for well-known names and the protection of well-known enterprise name rights has put forward higher requirements for enterprise name registration and management. In view of such a situation, the State Administration for Industry and Commerce is revising the reported "Enterprise Name Registration Management Regulations (submitted for review)" The "Draft") adds a provision for the protection of well-known names, stipulating that the recognized well-known names are not allowed to be used by others for the same or similar use in a province or nationwide. Under the hierarchical registration and management system of enterprise names, this approach will help protect the name rights of well-known enterprises and institutions. After the new "Enterprise Name Registration Management Regulations" are approved and promulgated by the State Council, the State Administration for Industry and Commerce will promptly formulate measures for the identification and management of well-known names. The State Administration for Industry and Commerce and the industrial and commercial administration bureaus of provinces, autonomous regions, and municipalities directly under the Central Government will respectively National and provincial famous names shall be recognized.

Enterprises have the right to choose their own names and sizes. A novel, memorable, catchy corporate name can create a refreshing, vivid and profound first impression on consumers. Therefore, how to create a brand name that is meaningful and easily accepted by the public has become an important issue that investors need to consider when setting up a company.

At present, the following methods are mainly used to select the names and sizes of state-owned enterprises:

1. The traditional font size method uses more auspicious words to imply the good hopes of investors. Commonly used words are "Fu", "Shun", "Fa", "Long", "Xing", "Rui", "Tai", "Xiang", "Ren", "He", "Sheng", "Feng" etc. , such as "Ruifuxiang Silk and Cloth Store", "Tongrentang Pharmacy", "Tongshenghe Shoes and Hats Store", etc. In addition, this method also applies to font sizes that use the names of famous mountains, rivers, lakes, and scenic spots as corporate names. Commonly used names include "Taishan", "Kunlun", "Yangtze River", "West Lake", "Great Wall", etc.

2. Abbreviation method, that is, using the abbreviation of the refrigeration person's name as the company name to indicate the affiliation of the company. Nowadays, the font sizes starting with "中" and "华" are mostly used under this method. For example, enterprises directly affiliated with China International Trust Company mostly use the font name "CITIC"; enterprises affiliated to the Ministry of Railways mostly use the font name "China Railway"; some companies with the name "Huadian" Most of the companies with trade names are affiliated companies of the North China Electric Power Administration. In addition, there are also companies that choose a character from the company names and trade names of two or more investors to form a new trade name, or directly use the company name of the controlling investor as the trade name.

3. The method of consistent font size and trademark, even if the company has registered or is preparing to apply for registration of a word trademark as the font size of the company name. The advantage of this method is that the font size and trademark are the same, and the customer can make full use of it. The limited attention paid, whether in daily business activities or advertising activities, can often achieve twice the result with half the effort. For example, the names of "Sitong" and "Jianlibao" in the names of Sineng Group Company and Jianlibao Group Company are both at the same time. It is the trademark of the company's products.

4. Translation method, that is, the font size used is derived from the foreign word, which is a literal translation or connotation of the foreign word. This method is often used by foreign-invested enterprises when applying for company name registration. Common ones include "Shell", "Philips", "Siemens", etc. The most successful example of applying for the use of translated names is the American Coca-Cola Company. The translation of "Coca'Cola" into "Coca-Cola" is originally a transliteration, but in China The choice of words cleverly caters to Chinese culture, shortens the distance with the old people, and creates a sense of identity.

5. The humorous method, that is, naming does not follow tradition and convention, and pursues novelty. and personality, either humorous or weird, leaving a deep impression on people. "Goubuli" should be said to be a masterpiece of this method.

6. Name around major historical events or hot topics of the times, such as "Beijing Southern Tour Industrial Company", which shows investors' support for Comrade Deng Xiaoping's speech on the Southern Tour; another example: "Post-1997 Restaurant" This shows that investors are confident in the future of Hong Kong after its return to the motherland in 1997.

In addition, enterprises can use local or foreign place names as trade names if they have legitimate reasons, but they are not allowed to use the names of administrative divisions above the county level as trade names. However, since the words "province", "city", and "county" can be omitted when the enterprise name is named after an administrative division, in real life, the public often cannot distinguish between using a place name as a trade name and naming the administrative division where the enterprise is located, especially If the enterprise name registration authority approves an enterprise to use the name of a place other than the place where it is located, it will easily lead to the phenomenon of the enterprise name being the first. Therefore, when the enterprise name registration and management authority approves that the enterprise name is also the place name of an administrative division, it should consult the local industrial and commercial administration bureau corresponding to the place name and conduct a name search.

In recent years, there have been new cases where some companies have applied for foreign letters and words to be used as company names when applying for company name registration. Most of these companies are wholly-owned or holding companies that are planned to be established by well-known international companies in my country. The trade names they apply for are generally concise and iconic words that are commonly used internationally by foreign investors and have been accepted by the market, so as to make the company's The name should be consistent with the company the investor invests in around the world. There are also individual domestic enterprises that have made similar applications for various reasons. As the current "Regulations on the Registration and Management of Enterprise Names" and the "Notice on Issues Related to the Registration and Management of Enterprise Names" of the State Administration for Industry and Commerce (Gongshang Gezi [1993] No. 152) clearly stipulate that foreign words are not allowed to be used in the Chinese names of foreign-invested enterprises. Therefore, it is not allowed to use foreign letters or words in the company name. In actual economic life, when foreign-invested enterprises communicate internationally, they generally only use their translated foreign names and will not use Chinese names consisting of only a few foreign letters. Therefore, this practice itself will not affect foreign investors’ unification of the names of the companies they invest in. It is not appropriate for domestic enterprises to apply for the use of foreign letters and words as trade names for whatever reasons. The complexity and richness of Chinese language and characters are recognized internationally. It should be said that Chinese characters are not so poor that companies have no choice. At present, other regions and individual local industrial and commercial administrations approve enterprise names using foreign letters and words when approving enterprise names. This approval behavior is an invalid administrative act that violates the "Enterprise Name Registration Management Regulations" and should be corrected. .

The trade name chosen by an enterprise should comply with the requirements of various national laws and regulations, and should not objectively cause misunderstanding and misunderstanding by the public. The State Administration for Industry and Commerce issued documents twice in 1993 and 1994, correcting the use of the word "federal" by enterprises in Hainan and other places. It is a national political system and refers to an administrative region with a national character. (with different names such as countries, states, states, etc.) united to form a unified country. Under this kind of national political system, each member state has its own constitutional legislative body and government. The federal government has a unified constitution, legislative body and government, and international exchanges are dominated by the federal government. This kind of national political system is completely opposite to the national political system stipulated in our country's constitution. Therefore, using this political term with a specific meaning in a company name is contrary to our country's constitution and may have adverse political effects. It cannot be allowed.

Business names are generally not allowed to use industry words. This requirement is linked to the principle of protecting corporate names. If an enterprise uses industry words as its trade name, it will be impossible to distinguish which words in a specific enterprise name are trade names, which words are trade names, and which words are industry or business characteristics, causing the public to misunderstand the business scope of the enterprise. recognize. Enterprise name registration and management agencies should have certain flexibility in grasping this requirement. If the application is called "Aerospace Industry Company", "Aerospace" cannot be recognized as a trade name, because the public generally understands "Aerospace Industry" as a specific industry, and the industry word "Industry" in its name indicates the business scope of the enterprise. , but may not include the relevant aerospace industry.

If the project application is called "Aerospace Real Estate Company", it can be determined that "Aerospace" is the trade name in the company name. Because there is no "aerospace real estate" industry and the industry word in this name is "real estate", the public may misunderstand.

In addition, the font size of some words with clear meanings that may cause ambiguity when used in company names, especially when used together with behavioral words, should be strictly controlled. When approving the name Special caution is required. If a travel agency applies to use "Global Travel Agency" as its name, and if the enterprise is a first-class travel agency approved by relevant departments and can engage in organizing domestic tourists to travel overseas and undertake foreign groups to travel within the country, then the use of the above name should be unreasonable. The problem is also worthy of the name. However, if the hotel is a first-class hotel and its business is limited to domestic tourism, using the above name "Global Travel" will cause the public to have a wrong understanding of the company. It is called Global Travel, but in fact it cannot go abroad. Therefore, using the name "Global Travel" The font size is inappropriate. For another example, a futures brokerage company applies to use "Chicago" as its trade name. Since my country currently prohibits futures brokerage companies from engaging in international futures brokerage business, and Chicago is the location of a world-famous futures exchange in the United States, "Chicago Futures" will This gave rise to the misconception that the company could engage in the trading and brokerage business of international futures "Chicago Futures", and was therefore inappropriate.

According to the current "Regulations on the Registration and Management of Enterprise Names", if a private enterprise can use the name of an investor as a trade name, it must submit a consent form signed by the investor; if a foreign-invested enterprise uses the name of a foreign citizen as a trade name, it must report Approved by the State Administration for Industry and Commerce. This provision is essentially a restrictive provision. With the transformation of my country's economic system, the ownership form of enterprises has gradually changed from single ownership to single ownership and mixed ownership. There are more and more requests to apply for the use of investors' names as trade names. The State Administration for Industry and Commerce no longer makes separate provisions on the issue of using the names of natural persons as trade names in the revised and submitted "Regulations on the Registration and Management of Enterprise Names (Draft for Review)". Although there is no current regulation, since corporate legal persons and natural persons are both civil subjects, the name of corporate legal persons cannot infringe on the name rights of natural persons. Therefore, when an enterprise applies to use the name of an investor as a trade name, it should submit a letter signed by the investor. Written materials that agree to use their name as the font size. If you apply to use the name of a natural person who is not an investor as a trade name, you should also submit a written document signed by the natural person agreeing to use his or her name as a trade name.

Company name is also a kind of social culture. It is full of streets and all kinds of social media. It reflects the cultural level and interests of corporate investors, and reflects the health of society from one side. Therefore, when determining the name of an enterprise, it should comply with the requirements of the spiritual civilization of the entire society, and the enterprise registration authority should also oppose the use of enterprise names with colonial and slavish overtones, decadent feudal consciousness, and low style.

--------------------------------------------- -------------------------------------

Industry and business characteristics

p>

Enterprises should determine the industry or business characteristics words in their names based on their business methods within their business scope. This word should specifically reflect the scope, method or characteristics of the enterprise's production, operation and services. Words such as "development" and "development" shall not be used alone. If the word "industrial" is used, it must have more than three subordinate production companies. , technology-based enterprises. When an enterprise determines the words about employment or business characteristics in its name, it can use a specific industry name based on the categories classified by the national industry classification standards, or it can also use general words.

The company name is the company's logo and the company's first advertisement. From another perspective, the company name is the first way for the public to understand a company. Whether an individual or an organization, when purchasing goods or selecting partners, they usually first look for the company name. Without examining the business scope of a certain enterprise's business license, the public can generally only look at the industry or business characteristics in the name to understand its business.

This is what witness said: "What you sell is what you shout about." Therefore, the wording of the industry or business characteristics in the company name must be accurate. The accuracy mentioned here does not mean that it is absolutely consistent with the business scope, but it should not express or imply that there is business beyond its business scope. For example, second and third category travel agencies engaged in domestic tourism business shall not be called "international travel agencies", and enterprises engaged in domestic trade shall not be called "international trading companies (or centers)".

Therefore, companies should carefully choose words with industry or business characteristics in their names, especially for some special industries. If the industry or business characteristics words used by the enterprise in the name are subject to special approval items stipulated by national laws and administrative regulations, the enterprise must submit relevant approval documents when applying for name approval; if you apply for pre-approval of the enterprise name, you do not need to submit it, but the application The relevant approval documents must be submitted when the enterprise is registered. If it cannot be submitted, the pre-approved name applied for will be invalid. In this regard, enterprises should consider carefully when applying for name approval and registration to avoid unnecessary waste of labor and time.

If the business of an enterprise crosses the major categories of the national economic industry classification, it can choose a major category name or use a general language name to express the industry in which the enterprise is engaged, or it can not reflect the industry in which the enterprise is engaged in the name. industry.

Foreign investors are companies with well-known trade names that establish sole proprietorships in my country with a registered capital of more than one thousand US dollars. They can not indicate the words "employment or business characteristics" in the name of the sole proprietorships.

In recent years, due to economic development, market competition has become increasingly fierce. Many enterprises and institutions have shifted from single operations to diversified operations, and the main business in the business scope of the enterprise has become a secondary business. However, the side business has become the main business. In the corporate world, there are also requests to change the industry in the name to the name of a large industry or even to eliminate the word industry. However, everything has two sides. You don’t have to specify big industry words when choosing them, and the adjustment of the company’s business direction will not affect the company name. This may not be beneficial to some large companies, especially newly established companies. In an increasingly competitive market, it is difficult for an enterprise to break through without specialties or a breakthrough point. If one-sided pursuit of big names in big industries often submerges one's own strengths, loses the first opportunity to promote oneself, and at the same time loses a group of potential customers, the result is not worth the loss. Therefore, how to choose words with industry or business characteristics in a company's name, and whether to choose general language or not use words with industry or business characteristics, should be based on the individual circumstances of each company, and we should not blindly pursue big names or big names.

In order to reflect the characteristics of the industry in which it is engaged, enterprises can use the name of the country (region) or the place name of the administrative division above the county level in the middle of the name, but it should be placed after the font size. Such as: Shanghai** Sichuan Hot Pot Restaurant, Zhengzhou** Guangzhou Hair Salon, Beijing** California Beef Noodle Restaurant, Tianjin** Shanghai Clothing Store, etc. The use of such names is generally for businesses with local characteristics that are closely related to the names of administrative divisions, mostly service industries.

--------------------------------------------- ------------

Organizational form

An enterprise should indicate its organizational form in its name based on its organizational structure or responsibility form. The organizational form indicated in the enterprise name shall comply with the provisions of national laws and regulations.

There are currently many organizational forms used by enterprises in our country. According to the different applicable registration regulations, they can be divided into two major categories:

The first is the company type, "The People's Republic of China" *The Company Law of the People's Republic of China stipulates that the name of an enterprise established in accordance with this law must indicate the words "limited liability company" or "joint-stock company". "Limited liability company" can also be referred to as "limited company"; foreign-invested enterprises generally "Limited Company" is used as the organizational form. However, if a Sino-foreign joint venture does not bear limited liability limited to capital contribution, "Limited Company" is not allowed to be used as the organizational form.

The second is the general enterprise category. The "Regulations of the People's Republic of China on the Registration and Management of Enterprise Legal Persons" does not have clear provisions. From the actual situation, the terms are used in a complicated manner, such as "center" and "store" , "field", "city", "bureau", "hall", "tang", "hall", "courtyard", "institute", "community", "factory", "shop", "village", " Tun" and so on.

For those who apply to use new words or words as organizational forms that have not been approved by the registration authority, it should be analyzed whether they violate laws and regulations, whether they will be incomprehensible to the public and cause misunderstanding, and whether It can be accepted by the public. For example, "city" was not used as the organizational form of enterprises in the past, but now there are many "furniture cities" and "entertainment cities", and the public can accept them.

Organizational forms generally cannot be used together or mixed, especially those explicitly stipulated by law. However, the use of some internationally common forms such as "**** Factory Co., Ltd." and "**** Center Co., Ltd." should be allowed.

If an enterprise with the qualifications of a legal person needs to use the word "general" before the organizational form in its name, it must have at least three direct branches with the same organizational form in the name of the enterprise. If it is called a "main factory", there must be three or more branches called "factories" or "branch factories". "Limited company", "joint-stock company" or "limited liability company" or "joint-stock company" established in accordance with the "Company Law of the People's Republic of China".
