Law/Patents - Business/Commerce (general) / Lab report - El Salvador
Spanish term or phrase: Prop. Soc.
I'm translating a lab report for a patient from El Salvador. Any idea what "Prop. Soc." stands for before the name of a laboratory in El Salvador? It is part of the laboratory's seal.

The seal says "República de El Salvador. C.S.S.P. Laboratorio XXX. No. Inscrip. XX. Prop. Soc. Laboratorio XXX. San Salvador, San Salvador."

It's very similar to the seal on the first page of this document: https://www.transparencia.gob.sv/system/procurements/attachm...

It also appears in the laboratory details here: https://ainsa.com.sv/contactenos/

As far as I can tell, it seems to apply mostly (or exclusively) to laboratories. My best guess is that's similar in function to "denominación social" or "razón social" in Mexico, but I can't find any references anywhere. Perhaps someone familiar with business/medical registration procedures in El Salvador can shed some light on this.

Please abstain from offering wild guesses not backed up by references.

owned by the Company ('Messrs.')
Explanation:
> as opposed to propiedad social/ista, as in Mexico and on Cuba.

Logical reasoning, as tested for admission on to US & UK law finals courses - rather than points scoring - dictates that it is the other way round from the proprietor so, for employment and liability insurance etc, purposes, the company has been set up to own and run the lab, such as Laboratory XXX. Regd. Entry No. ... XX. owned by the Laboratory Company XXX.

agree  AllegroTrans: Yes, that's it - but 'Messrs.' should not feature here; it is rarely - if ever - used with the names of companies nowadays - even English law firms have jettisoned the term

  -> Thanks, Chris. Re Messrs., and not seeing the full extension to the organisation's name, I wanted to leave open the option of the Sociedad being a partnership & Co. vs. & Co. Ltd.
