NBA THE NATIONAL BAR ASSOCIATION 1925
Live · Registered LIVE/REGISTRATION/Issued and Active
What this record means
The record shows a live Principal Register registration owned by the National Bar Association, a non‑profit corporation organized in Iowa, for the collective membership mark “NBA THE NATIONAL BAR ASSOCIATION 1925.” The registration covers the single class 200 description “indicating membership in an organization of attorneys,” so a similar name used for an attorney‑membership group would be the closest record‑based concern, while uses unrelated to legal‑professional membership fall outside the listed scope. The record does not give the owner control over every use of the words “NBA” or “National Bar Association” in other contexts. The most recent meaningful event is the February 15 2026 notice that the registration was renewed for its first ten‑year term under Sections 8 and 9. No oppositions, cancellations or other enforcement actions appear in the supplied history. I'd treat this as a meaningful concern if you plan a comparable name for an attorney‑membership service.
