Editing Chartered Financial Analyst (section)

===United Kingdom===
In January 2007, the [[United Kingdom trade mark law|UK Trade Marks Registry]] refused to register "Chartered Financial Analyst" as a trademark, as the word "chartered" in the [[United Kingdom]] is associated with bodies incorporated by [[royal charter]] and thus "the relevant public in the UK would, prima facie, expect a person using the mark applied for to be representing themselves as a member of an organization of the kind subject to a Royal Charter".<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.patent.gov.uk/tm/t-decisionmaking/t-challenge/t-challenge-decision-results/o31506.pdf|title=Trade Mark Application No. 2226144: Chartered Financial Analyst|publisher=Patent.gov.uk|access-date=2015-11-21|archive-date=2012-02-05|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20120205080643/http://www.patent.gov.uk/tm/t-decisionmaking/t-challenge/t-challenge-decision-results/o31506.pdf|url-status=dead}}</ref> "CFA" is a registered trademark in the UK, but only for "Educational services" (class 41) rather than "Financial services" (class 36) under which the attempt to register "Chartered Financial Analyst" had been made.<ref>{{cite web|url=https://www.ipo.gov.uk/tmcase/Results/1/UK00002225116|title=Case details for trade mark UK00002225116|publisher=UK Intellectual Property Office|access-date=28 June 2016}}</ref>
