text: what does "served as sued" mean?   need more context, please.  best guess, it may have to do whether the name of the defendant is spelled the same on the summons and on the complaint, and whether it is spelled correctly.    let's say you are suing a large hamburger chain and named it "macdonald's" in your complaint, when the true name is "mcdonald's".  mcdonald's is likely to just file an answer and note the mistake.
