CGBL, CBBL and CChL are now registered trademarks!

The four-letter abbreviations "CGBL", "CBBL" and "CChL" are now registered trademarks. This adds to their value as only people who are authorized by IIBLC^® can use them.

As mentioned on our certificates: people who obtained the certificate are allowed to use the four-letter abbreviations (e.g. on CV, as title behind name, ...). all others need prior approval from IIBLC^®. Failing to do so is ground for legal action.
