Which statement about MLS trademark is true?

Which statement about MLS trademark is true?

• A. MLS is a trademark of CREA.
• B. MLS is a trademark of NSREC.
• C. MLS is a trademark of NSAR.
• D. MLS has no trademark.

Answer: (A)

MLS is a registered trademark owned by CREA (the Canadian Real Estate Association). CREA holds the mark and licenses its use to provincial and regional associations, which then provide MLS access to REALTORS through their member organizations. In Nova Scotia, NSAR is the provincial association that works within CREA’s MLS system, while NSREC is the regulator, not the owner of the MLS trademark. Because the mark belongs to CREA, the statement is true. The other options are not correct because neither NSREC nor NSAR owns the MLS trademark, and MLS does have a trademark.
