Schools and entities that claim accreditation by Northwest Association of Accredited Schools (now known as The Northwest Accreditation Commission, DO NOT have high standards. Many of these schools have infringed upon the NAAS trademark, illegally profited off of the superior integrity of National Academy of American Scholars, and have refused to compensate the legitimate NAAS. On March 27, 2010, the United States Patent and Trademark Office officially refused registration of the application submitted by Northwest Association of Accredited Schools, Inc, and its corporate alter ego (Idaho State Dept. of Education). In September of 2010, the US Patent & Trademark Office issued a Notice of Default to Northwest Association of Accredited Schools, Inc. for failure to perform a legal action it was required to perform. Northwest Association of Accredited Schools changed its name to The Northwest Accreditation Commission not because it wanted to but because it was legally forced. Any school or program claiming affiliation with or accreditation by Northwest Association of Accredited Schools, a/k/a/ The Northwest Accreditation Commission, is a school or program with inferior standards. The abrupt name change appears to represent an attempt to shield consumers from its past. The legal name change by The Northwest Accreditation Commission will NOT resolve its past illegal and unethical infringement of the NAAS label. All of the Collective member entities of Northwest Association of ...
www.HouchinLaw.com What makes a great brand? We are going to talk a little bit about trademark and one of the first things that you need to realize about trademark is what the test for infringement is because a lot of people invest a lot of money in starting new brands without having done their trademark work first.

www.houchinlaw.com Branding Lawyer Fort Collins-Business Law.Kevin Houchin Fort Collins Branding Lawyer want to tell you a little bit today about the difference between the TM symbol and the circle R symbol. Both of these are relative to trademark, but the TM symbol is basically a flag that's taking a claim that this is something that you intend to be a trademark. It doesn't cost you anything. It doesn't mean you have trademark rights, it's just you that's just taking your claim, so I encourage everybody to use the TM symbol on anything that they're using as a brand or an indicator of source that this product or service came from you. When you move up to the circle R, that means that you've got a registered trademark with the United States Patent and Trademark office and you can think of that as the good housekeeping seal of approval from the US PTO about your mark and that it has the distinctiveness required to get trademark protection and that you are also the first bonafide user of that mark in commerce which gives you a presumption of validity if you ever have to enforce your mark against some infringer. So, if you want more information on trademark, do to http Put your email address in the field at the top and you'll get a free copy of my eBook, No Lame Names, which talks about how trademark law, creativity and branding all work together.

On March 27, 2010, the United States Patent and Trademark Office officially refused registration of the application submitted by Northwest Association of Accredited Schools, Inc, and its corporate alter ego (Idaho State Dept. of Education). The US Government agreed with the legal assessment that Northwest Association of Accredited Schools, Inc., the Idaho State Dept. of Education, the Clark County School District, and all of the Collective member entities of Northwest Association of Accredited Schools, Inc that were falsely claiming 'NAAS' accreditation were doing so without legal authority. Despite this fact, in May of 2010, Innovations International High School, a charter school in Las Vegas, Nevada, which also claims accreditation by Northwest Association of Accredited Schools, placed a half-page in the Las Vegas Review Journal newppaper using the NAAS label without proper licensing or authority. The Las Vegas Review Journal accepted the ad but would not accept ads by persons or businesses claiming to be endorsed by the "Las Vegas Review Journal" This NAAS Multi-Media Report is a continuing series that investigates the judicial and media practices of corrupt states, and the quality, character, and the integrity of schools, as well as their staff, and teachers, that falsely claim or imply 'NAAS' accreditation. For the record, National Academy of American Scholars (NAAS) has not accredited a single school in the state of Nevada because Clark County Schools typically do ...
