" Gifford had alleged that he was unfairly losing work to LEED Accredited Professionals (LEED APs) " You don't have to be an LEED AP do you? You just have to have your company registered with the USGBC to submit projects ?

That's right, you don't have to be a LEED-AP to carry out the certification process, although it helps a lot. Your company does not have to be registered with USGBC, just the project. Having said that, I must add that team members (not companies) must be registered to use LEED Online.
