What this record means
The record shows a live pending application for the mark CLOSE PROTECTION OFFICER, filed by the Board of Executive Protection Professionals, a Nevada‑organized non‑profit corporation, and it is currently awaiting examination on the Principal Register. The goods and services listed are “provision of protection for executives being security services” in International Class 045, so a similar name used for executive‑security or personal‑protection services would raise the closest record‑based concern, while uses in unrelated fields would be farther from the scope shown. The record does not give the owner control over every use of the words “close protection officer.” No Supplemental Register filing appears, and the prosecution history simply notes the application entry on July 12 2024 and a correspondence change on September 27 2024, with no enforcement actions recorded. I'd treat this as a meaningful concern if you plan a comparable name in the same security‑service space.
