Great Explanation on Trademarks and REALTORS

July 13, 2010 by 4 Comments

This isn’t the typical nerdy stats or opinion piece I normally do but I thought this was a great explanation of trademark law and also what makes a REALTOR different than a real estate agent:


I’m a big fan of what sets REALTORS apart for just licensed real estate agents – I believe the biggest distinction is in the ethical requirements of REALTORS.  While I cannot guarantee that all REALTORS will always do the correct and ethical thing, at least I know there is a system in place to encourage compliance and enforce the Code of Ethics when it is violated.

Trademark that stuff. But doesn't it seem petty to sue everyone who uses the name of your product? It's a marketing battle, for sure.

I bet it can be frustrating to know that your product brand can become too much a household name. But hey, it's better to be a winner... than nothing at all! Sad but true.

I use the term "googled" all the time. Sorry!
