The images shown above are used solely for the purpose of commentary, public notice, and education regarding concerns about the unauthorized use of the federally registered VA-BC® trademark.
This website is operated by VA-BC® Training Center, LLC and is not affiliated with, sponsored by, or endorsed by the Vascular Access Certification Corporation (VACC). The purpose of this page is to provide information to the public, healthcare professionals, and stakeholders regarding concerns related to the ongoing unauthorized use of the VA-BC® trademark and its improper presentation to the public on Vascular Access Certification Corporation (VACC) platform.
ACTIVE ENFORCEMENT
It is the position of VA-BC® Training Center, LLC that the Vascular Access Certification Corporation (VACC) has engaged in the unauthorized use of the VA-BC® mark. Despite receiving formal written notice, including a cease-and-desist demand, we have observed continued use of the mark, including the introduction of a "CM" designation without authorization, which we believe falsely suggests an authorized connection to use VA-BC® with that designation.
To be clear, the Vascular Access Certification Corporation does not own the
VA-BC® trademark, nor has it been granted permission to use it.
In our view, these actions have the potential to cause confusion among healthcare professionals, institutions, and credentialing bodies who rely on the accurate and lawful representation.
VA-BC® Training Center, LLC remains fully committed to protecting the integrity of trademark law and defending the VA-BC® mark against misuse.
Following the issuance of a series of formal cease-and-desist letters, we have observed what we believe to be an escalation in the usage and promotion of the VA-BC® mark by the Vascular Access Certification Corporation. Rather than curtailing unauthorized use as requested, Vascular Access Certification Corporation appears to have expanded its public display and application of the mark, further increasing the risk of confusion regarding the mark, its ownership, its authorized use, and its lawful presentation among professionals, institutions, and credentialing bodies.
Additionally, public records indicate that the Vascular Access Certification Corporation was administratively revoked in the State of Georgia and has operated without legal registration in Wisconsin since 2009. According to available public filings, Vascular Access Certification Corporation operated without state registration in Wisconsin for approximately 16 years and only subsequently obtained legal entity registration to do business in Wisconsin in February 2025, following the issuance of our formal cease-and-desist notice.
