CFP Board Certification Marks Usage Updated

CFP® Board Updates

Say goodbye to the TM after CERTIFIED FINANCIAL PLANNER.  It’s now an ®.  The U.S. Patent and Trademark Office officially registered the CERTIFIED FINANCIAL PLANNER® mark earlier this summer, strengthening the legal protections.

This change signifies a great achievement for the CFP Board and Professionals alike.  It means the mark is now on par with all of the other marks of the CFP Board, such as CFP® Certification and CFP® Professional.  It also provides stronger protections for the commitments made by over 100,000 people to become CFP® Professionals.
