Realtor Brand - Trademark - Public?

They Say..."many REALTORS® don't realize the importance of protecting the trademark. If we don't protect it and it becomes "public" it will lose all its meaning. " This in Regard to Protecting the Trademark, THEY don't want you to call them a Realtor - but they - the troops in the field most ALL call themselves Realtor. They don't Want the WORD realtor to become "Public" domain - this is Scary - Controling - and shows the Mind Set of the National Association of Realtors in My Opinion.

This goes Right along with the Association of Realtors NOT wanting you, the General Public to ACCESS what THEY call "Their" database when it was your Credit, Your Hard Work, your money - blood, sweat and tears that Created the Data Base THEY think that they Own.

Not wanting a Word to Be Public Domain, Public Property should be against every Law of the Land in EVERY way. What if Someone Who Invents, started a Club and called it "Inventor®" and made you pay to join, then everything you invented calling yourself an Inventor you would answer to them the all knowing power who trade marked the Name.. Realtor - SHOULD not have been allowed to be trademarked in the first place.

What about Professor - what if that was Trademarked? What if You wanted to be a "Supervisor" you had to Join a club and be a member to access the job and you could not call yourself a "Supervisor®" without a trademark on it. the letters "OR" on the end of a word and Scared it will be public, seems to me like the Realtors® are Scraping and Crawling to hold on to "their" Profession that your NOT allowed to call a profession. Bogus...

It is a GOOD thing that "Realtor" did not get to Trademark to OR names as well and keep them from being PUBLIC... What a Racket...
