The Certified Financial Planner Board uses the CFP® certification membership mark. Probably lots of other professional trades have similar membership marks. The membership marks (and trade and service marks) are registered with the US Patent and Trademark Office.
If you search the USPTO for 'realtor' you will see the "R" as the fourth entry.
Hope that helps.
