A company is a form of business organization.

In the United States, a company is a corporation—or, less commonly, an association, partnership, or union—that carries on an industrial enterprise." Generally, a company may be a "corporation, partnership, association, joint-stock company, trust, fund, or organized group of persons, whether incorporated or not, and (in an official capacity) any receiver, trustee in bankruptcy, or similar official, or liquidating agent, for any of the foregoing."

In English law, and therefore in the Commonwealth realms, a company is a form of body corporate or corporation, generally registered under the Companies Acts or similar legislation. It does not include a partnership or any other unincorporated group of persons.

What happens when a private company purchases a public company?
Q. I have shares in a company (under the previous name) and it was purchased by a private company. I still have shares that I would like to sell but they are under the previous companies name. Can anyone tell me what the process is to have these stocks changed into the name of the new company?
Asked by coreysands_2000 - Mon Sep 24 18:02:20 2007 - - 1 Answers - 0 Comments

A. If they are in certificate form, take them to a broker/dealer. Or call the new company and ask them how they want to handle it. Most likely there was a tender offer period and you should have received information regarding how you can sell your shares. If you don't have this either the broker/dealer or the new company will be able to help.

What happens to the stocks of a bankrupt company if the company is bought by some other company?
Q. What happens to the stocks of a bankrupt company if the company is bought by some other company. I am plaaning to buy stocks of Bearing point. The company is bankrupt now and selling its operations across the globe. What will happen to my stocks if I buy them?
Asked by Nishant - Sun Apr 5 22:46:38 2009 - - 3 Answers - 1 Comments

A. Only if a company comes in and offers to buy the company as a whole will you make money through that sale. For example, IBM recently offered to buy Sun Micro for $9.40 per share - if the offer had been accepted, all shareholders would have turned in their Sun Micro shares for that amount. However, no one out there has offered to buy BearingPoint, so BearingPoint is selling off pieces of its businesses to satisfy creditors and hopes to emerge from bankruptcy after reorganization. Whether your stocks will be worthless or go up will depend on how well BearingPoint can reorganize and run their business after emerging from bankruptcy.

Can a UK company sue a US based distributor for selling a Chinese manufactured product that has similarities?
Q. I UK company is threatening action against a US Based distributor for selling a product that may or may not have been reverse engineered in China. Without either company spending roughly $5000 dollars to compare both products there is no way to know. Can the UK based company sue the US distributor or would they need to take action against the manufacturer based in China?
Asked by INERTIA RC - Wed Apr 8 20:00:29 2009 - - 1 Answers - 0 Comments

A. Well, first off...good luck suing a manufacturer in China. Seriously. Regarding a US distributor I am not sure if you are referring to the US company that supposedly "knocked-off" the UK company's product or a distributor who distributes the knocked-off product from another US company. If it's the former, it seems as though a case could be brought pending several scenarios: Is the product patented? Is it trademarked? How "similar" is the US based product? How is it different? Your question does not contain enough information to answer with any accuracy. You might want to consult your attorney. That is, after all, what they're there for.
