Talking about REALTORS® and Copyright? What about our TRADEMARKS?

By
Real Estate Agent with Sun Realty USA, Inc.

Please note that our NAR owns the trademarks REALTOR® and REALTORS® and REALTOR-ASSOCIATE® are that these marks are registered as written above - ALL Capital Letters - and should be used as prescribed by NAR. 

If we, as REALTORS®, do not use our NAR's trademarks properly, why should the general public?   I have seen the consequences of Intellectual Property, like trademarks, being diluted and I do not wish OUR trademarks' value to be weakened further.  Not every agent is an NAR member and, therefore, a REALTOR®!  If you are a REALTOR® be proud - use the NAR required CAPITAL letters!

Please let at least all of us "special" agents, who are Active Rain members, be vigilant and consistent and make an effort to defend our professional Association's REGISTERED trademarks by spelling them properly and as our NAR wants us to!

You are so right and I am to blame so I do not even put it sometimes.  I forget how to put the little r after the title.
