Who is a "REALTOR®"?

I saved my text books from real estate school. In the text book titled, "Ohio Real Estate Principles and Practices", the definition of a REALTOR® is, "Any (state) licensee who is a member of the National Association of REALTORS® (NAR), and their affiliated state and local boards. Only members (of the NAR, and their affiliates) may use the term 'REALTOR®' because (the term) is a registered trademark of the NAR".

In other words, a real estate agent who is not affiliated with any local board of REALTORS® cannot be called a REALTOR®, though both are licensed real estate agents.
