Realtor的词源解释,Realtor来源

Realtor(n.)

1916年,美国英语中的“房地产经纪人”,似乎是从 realty 派生出的代理名词,由明尼阿波利斯的房地产经纪人查尔斯·N·查德伯恩创造,以区分业务的合法部分; 在20世纪20年代流行起来; 由全国房地产委员会专利注册为 Realtor

The 1916 Convention of the National Association of Real Estate Boards (NAREB) approved the adoption of the term as the official designation of an active member of the Association. In 1920 the District Court of Hennepin County, Minnesota, decided in favor of the Realtors in a case against a telephone directory publisher that had indiscriminately used the word in listings. The court asserted that the word "had never been used in any way whatsoever until so invented" and could thus be used only by those duly licensed by the National Association of Real Estate Boards. Until the Lanham Acts of 1948 changed federal patent regulations to allow protection for registered collective marks, the National Association fought and won sixteen cases on the local and state levels to protect its symbolic property.

1916年,全国房地产委员会(NAREB)的大会批准采用该术语作为协会活跃成员的官方称号。 1920年,明尼苏达州亨内平县地方法院在一起诉电话目录出版商的案件中判决支持房地产经纪人,该出版商在列表中滥用了这个词。 法院断言,这个词“从未被任何方式使用,直到被发明”,因此只能由全国房地产委员会合法授权的人使用。 在1948年兰汉姆法案改变联邦专利法规以允许保护注册集体商标之前,全国协会在地方和州一级上打赢了16起保护其象征性财产的案件。[杰弗里·M·霍恩斯坦,“房地产经纪人的崛起”,收录于《中产阶级的历史探索》,纽约,2001年]
