(a) General rule.-- Registration of a fictitious name under this chapter imparts no legal right to the registering entity other than that: (1) the conducting of business by it under a fictitious name shall not result in the penalties provided by section 331 (relating to contracts and acts by entity using unregistered fictitious name); and (2) the doing of business by the entity using the registered name has the same force and effect as doing business under the proper name of the entity.
