It is an association of local nonprofit organizations which provide hospitalization and healthcare insurance in the areas in which they operate. Each of these local operations, which are called plans, is sponsored by a medical society in its locality. The appellant, Group Medical & Surgical Service, is the Texas component. One of the benefits flowing from membership in the Association is the right to use its service marks in naming and promoting the member’s insurance policies.
