I don't know whether i should be surprised that someone managed to trademark a job title or that there don't seem to be that many job titles held hostage under trademark law.
- yorwba 3y agoIt's a made-up word, specifically intended as a trademark for the NAR. The surprising thing is that people willingly adopted the trademark to describe themselves. Maybe it's similar to people calling themselves "Googlers".
