What this record means
The record shows that “COAA OWNER TRAINING INSTITUTE” is a live, registered service mark on the Principal Register, owned by Construction Owners Association of America, Inc., a non‑profit corporation organized in Georgia. The mark protects education services, specifically conducting live and online conferences, training programs, lectures and forums and continuing education programs in the field of construction, as listed in class 041. A similar name used for comparable construction‑related training or educational services would raise the closest record‑based concern. The record does not give the owner control over every use of the wording, only over the specified services in that class. The prosecution history indicates a straightforward registration with no descriptiveness refusal or Supplemental Register move. The latest maintenance event was the acceptance of the 10‑year renewal on August 17, 2023. No opposition, cancellation, or enforcement activity appears in the supplied history. For someone considering a similar name, the mark’s active status and specific service scope suggest a meaningful risk of conflict if used in construction education.
