(a) In
54 Pa.C.S. §
332(a) (relating to effect
of registration), it is provided that registration under this subchapter

provided by §
17.211 (relating to effect of
nonregistration on enforceability of contracts).
(b) The registration required under §

acts required of a corporation prerequisite to its doing business in this
Commonwealth under the code and related provisions of law. The provisions of 54
Pa.C.S. Chapter 3 (relating to Fictitious Names Act) or this subchapter will
not be construed as relieving an association of a duty under another
statute.

303(c) (relating to scope of
chapter), it is provided that the registration of a fictitious name under this
subchapter will not be a defense to an action or proceeding brought to enforce

under a fictitious name.
