Re: Certified Signing Specialist

Did you copyright that term, which is now being use by the SPW?

Re: Hmm... is right ...

You may have an issue with the so-called SPW, aka you-know-who (XYZ). Hugh, what do you know about copyright infringements?

Re: Certified Signing Specialist

You can't copyright a phrase. It would be a trademark, which is a different animal altogether.

Very interesting. Because I am aware, I know that the new

term doesn't even have the word "notary" in it. hmmmmm
Also, I'm careful not to use the word "certified" here in VA, because there is no state certification distinction. I have only been able to advertise "certified by XYZ" for example. I know from experience, because I did that cert/bgc check years ago when I was starting up. I did it because I felt I had to have that icon by my name in order to be competitivie. I'm not buying into that game now. I'm sure my "standards" are higher than the one's being set down, and that organization doesn't meet my standards!
