Sort of. The PEO in Ontario once threatened Microsoft regarding the MCSE designation, causing Microsoft to temporarily recant. After their lawyers had a go at it, Microsoft decided that they have no risk in the Engineer in MCSE (the Wikipedia link that yurisagalov provided humorously holds that Microsoft renamed it to "IT Professional" to avoid the ire of engineers. Hardly. IT Pro was a blanket marketing term introduced years after deciding to ignore the PEO in Ontario -- http://peo.on.ca/index.php/ci_id/21494/la_id/1.htm http://peo.on.ca/index.php/ci_id/21494/la_id/1.htm). Similarly, countless people use the title Software Engineer, just as there are Sanitation Engineer and Train Engineers. Because the PEO has more bark than bite.
