That’s a great question! We have the reply right below.

How to write the ® R,™ TM, © C symbols.

TM™ Symbol

  (also SM℠ Symbol) This symbol is used to inform others that you think that the word is your trademark. In some countries, this will give you common law rights. Good examples are the USA, UK, New Zealand, Australia, Canada and some other countries.

However, it does not mean that the mark is officially protected and that you can sue anyone for misusing your trademark in this case.

SM℠ is used when you sell services and not physical products. It’s not incorrect to use tm symbol ™ if you sell services though. But it is incorrect vice versa. Normally, ℠ is used when you are extremely boring and want to make sure that everyone knows that you sell only services.

Is using ™ Symbol protect your trademark?

It will grant you common law rights in some countries. But in other 180 countries, it will give you absolutely no protection.

Can I use ™ Symbol anywhere I want?

You won’t get sued for this if that’s what you mean. Using ™ doesn’t normally qualify as a false trademark claim. So™ you™ can™ use™ it™ as™ you™ wish™. That’s not as smart as it may look like though.

The R Symbol ®

The R symbol

Usually, using ® means that your trademark is registered in a country. In some countries, however, its use is non-regulated and you can apply it even to unregistered trademarks (Canada is an example). But we do not recommend doing so as this might confuse customers.

In 99% of countries, this symbol stands for word REGISTERED, when your trademark is 100% officially registered. Not pending, not published, not applied for, but registered! Also, this symbol is known as the rights reserved symbol or all rights reserved.

In these countries, if you use the R symbol when your trademark is not registered, you can get into trouble as this is illegal, for example in the USA it’s a serious crime. 

Stay safe, use R only when your mark is Registered. If your mark is not registered, contact us at [email protected] we are the leading trademark registration providers and we will get your mark registered!
 

Where should I place my hard-earned ® sign?

The top right corner of your trademark is a perfect place for it. Also, you can put it at the end of your trademark. Bonamark® — that’s an example.

My trademark is registered in China (or any country abroad), can I use the ® in the US?

No, don’t do this! Trademarks are territorial, a registered mark in China does not grant you right to use the R symbol in the USA. That’s may be considered a false trademark claim.

Can the ® symbol be a part of my trademark when I apply for it?

No, you should delete it from your logo when applying. This symbol is unregistrable, no one can get an exclusive right over the ® symbol. This applies to ™ and © as well.

The C Symbol (copyright) ©

C symbol

That bad boy is used to inform of a copyright claim. You can use it along with your name and date in order to inform others of your ownership over a creation.

Do I have to use the C symbol © to get copyright protection?

Nope, you do not have to. It was required several decades ago, but according to the new Copyright Rules the protection is granted automatically. How cool is that? You created anything and once it is created it’s your property for your entire life + 70 years — absolutely free. Even a photo of your dog you took with your new iPhone X.

If I don’t use the © symbol will I lose my copyright protection?

No, you won’t. Using C symbol is not obligatory to claim the copyright protection.

Can I use ™ to protect my copyright?

It won’t help. TM is for trademarks, © for your creations.

This wikiHow teaches you how to type the trademark (™) and registered trademark (®) symbols on your computer, phone, or tablet. The trademark symbol, which is just a «TM» in super-script characters, is used to assert your ownership of the name, word, phrase, or design that distinguishes your brand.[1]
 If you’ve registered your trademark with the government, you’ll want to switch to the registered trademark symbol—the «R» inside of a circle. There are a variety of ways to insert both symbols on most platforms.

  1. Image titled Type the Trademark Symbol Step 11

    1

    Click on the location where you want to insert the symbol. If your PC’s keyboard has a separate 10-key numeric keypad on the right side, you can use a quick keyboard shortcut known as an «alt code» to insert trademark symbols in most apps.

  2. Image titled Type the Trademark Symbol Step 5

    2

    Activate your 10-key numeric keypad. Alt codes require you to use the 10-key numeric keypad—you can’t use the regular numbers at the top of the keyboard. If you have a dedicated 10-key numeric keypad on the right side of your keyboard, you’re all set! However, most smaller keyboards don’t have a separate numeric keypad—at least not an obvious one! Here’s how you can find and activate your hidden 10-key numeric keypad:

    • Look for smaller numbers at the bottoms or tops of these keys on the keyboard: m, j, k, l, u, i, o, 7, 8, and 9. If you see numbers on these keys, you can use these keys as your numeric keypad.
      • If you don’t see these (and this is becoming more common with small modern PC laptops), you’ll need to use a different method—alt codes won’t work for you.
    • Turn on number lock to activate this keypad. Press the key called “NumLk” (or some other abbreviation of «number lock») at the top of the keyboard. To test it out, press the letter L after enabling NumLk—you should see a 3 instead of an L.
      • If that doesn’t work, you may have to hold down the fn key as you press NumLk to activate it.

    3

    Press and hold the Alt key. Do not release the key until you’re finished typing the code, which you’ll do shortly.

  4. Image titled Type the Trademark Symbol Step 13

    4

    Type 0153 on the keypad for the trademark (™) symbol. Type these characters in order, using the numeric keypad only—the number row at the top will not work. After typing the last number in the series, you can release the Alt key.[2]

  5. Image titled Type the Trademark Symbol Step 14

    5

    Press and hold Alt while typing 0174 for the registered trademark (®) symbol. This code gives you the registered trademark symbol, which is the «R» in a circle. Remember, do not lift your finger from the Alt key until you’ve typed the series of numbers 0174 in order.

    • When you’re ready to type using the regular letters again, just press NumLk again to disable the hidden numeric keypad. But since you’ll need number lock to type your trademark symbol(s), leave it on for now.

    Press ⌥ Option+2 for the trademark (™) symbol.

    • If you’re using Microsoft Word, you can also insert the trademark symbol by typing (tm). Word’s AutoCorrect tool will replace what you’ve typed with the symbol.

  3. Image titled Type the Trademark Symbol Step 20

    3

    Press ⌥ Option+R for the registered trademark (®) symbol.

    • Just like with the unregistered trademark symbol, if you’re using Microsoft Word, you can type (r) and the AutoCorrect tool will change it to the proper symbol.

    Type (tm) to display the trademark ™ symbol. Word will automatically correct this to the TM symbol on both Windows and macOS.

    • If you’re using Windows, you can also insert the ™ symbol by pressing Ctrl + Alt + T.
    • On a Mac, you can also insert this symbol by pressing Option + 2.
    • Yet another option is to click the Insert tab, click Symbol (or Advanced Symbol) on the toolbar, select More Symbols…, click the Special Characters tab, select the symbol, and then click Insert.
    • Type (r) to display the registered trademark ® symbol. Office’s AutoCorrect feature will automatically convert this to the registered trademark symbol on Windows and macOS.
    • If you’re using Windows, you can also use Ctrl + Alt + R to insert this symbol.
    • Pressing Option + R on a Mac inserts this symbol as well.
    • As with the trademark symbol, you can alco click the Insert tab, click Symbol (or Advanced Symbol) on the toolbar, select More Symbols…, click the Special Characters tab, select the symbol, and then click Insert.

    Click on the location where you want to insert the symbol. If you’re unable to use Alt codes or are just looking for an alternative, you can use the Unicode version of the shortcut in most apps. This works in any app that supports Unicode, including Microsoft Word and WordPad.

  2. Image titled Type the Trademark Symbol Step 12

    2

    Type 2122 and press Alt+X for the trademark (™) symbol. As long as the app you’re using supports Unicode, this will transform the numbers into the «TM» symbol.

  3. Image titled Type the Trademark Symbol Step 13

    3

    Type 00AE and press Alt+X for the registered trademark (®) symbol. That’s two zeroes, followed by the letters A and E.[3]
     Just like with the standard trademark symbol, pressing Alt + X will turn this code into the «r» in a circle.

  2. Image titled Type the Trademark Symbol Step 15

    2

    Press Ctrl+⇧ Shift+U. A «U» with an underline will appear.

  3. Image titled Type the Trademark Symbol Step 16

    3

    Type 2122 (for the trademark symbol) or 00AE for the registered trademark symbol. The code you enter will appear after the special «U.»

    • The code for the registered trademark symbol is two zeroes followed by a capital «A» and capital «E.»

  4. Image titled Type the Trademark Symbol Step 17

    4

    Press ↵ Enter to convert the code to the symbol. The «U» and numerical code will be replaced with the trademark or registered trademark symbol when you press Enter.

    • If this doesn’t work, the app you’re using may not support this type of code. Another option is to copy and paste the symbol that you want to use.

Look up ™ in Wiktionary, the free dictionary.

The trademark symbol ⟨™⟩ is a symbol to indicate that the preceding mark is a trademark, specifically an unregistered trademark. It complements the registered trademark symbol ⟨®⟩ which is reserved for trademarks registered with an appropriate government agency.[1]

In Canada, an equivalent marque de commerce symbol, ⟨🅪⟩ (U+1F16A) is used in Quebec.[2] Canada also has an Official mark symbol, ⟨Ⓜ⟩, to indicate that a name or design used by Canadian public authorities is protected.[3] Some German publications, especially dictionaries, also use a Warenzeichen grapheme, ⟨🄮⟩ (U+1F12E), which is informative and independent of the actual protection status of the name.[4]

Use[edit]

Use of the trademark symbol indicates an assertion that a word, image, or other sign is a trademark; it does not indicate registration or impart enhanced protections. Registered trademarks are indicated using the registered trademark symbol, ⟨®⟩, and in some jurisdictions it is unlawful or illegal to use the registered trademark symbol with a mark that has not been registered.[5]

The service mark symbol, ⟨℠⟩, is used to indicate the assertion of a service mark (a trademark for the provision of services). The service mark symbol is less commonly used than the trademark sign, especially outside the United States.

Keyboard entry[edit]

  • Windows: Alt+0153 (on the numeric keypad)
    • US international keyboard setting: Alt Gr+T
  • macOS: ⌥ Opt+2 (or ⌥ Opt+⇧ Shift+2 or ⌥ Opt+⇧ Shift+D or ⌥ Opt+⇧ Shift+T on certain layouts)

A trademark a particular name, symbol or word that distinguishes products or services of one manufacturer or seller from that of others. The trademark symbol (™) is shown alongside to indicate that the name, symbol of word is a trademark. In this tutorial we will learn various methods of typing the Trademark Symbol in MS Word, HTML and other computer applications.

Difference between Trademark, Registered and Copyright

Before we learn how to type the trademark symbol, we should first understand where to use it! There are several symbols that are used for asserting rights over a name, logo, product or service. Among these, trademark, registered and copyright symbols are most commonly used.

A trademark is an unregistered name or sign that a business uses to distinguish itself and/or its products. If your trademark is not yet registered with the authorities, you should use the Trademark ™ symbol.

When a trademark gets properly registered, it is called a Registered Trademark. In such a case, the Registered symbol (®) should be used. You must not use the ® symbol unless you get the registration certificate from the authorities.

Intel is the registered trademark of Intel Corporation. In contrast, the word "inside" and "core" are just trademarks.

Intel is the registered trademark of Intel Corporation. In contrast, the word “inside” and “core” are just trademarks.

Copyright symbol (©) is used for asserting rights ownership on intellectual properties like literary work, websites and blogs, movies, music, paintings etc.

How to Use Trademark Symbol

If your product or service has a distinctive name or logo, it is advisable that you use the trademark symbol along with it. Use of trademark symbol informs your business competitor that although this name or logo is not yet registered but it is still your property because people connect this name or symbol with your products.

Trademark symbol is composed of the Roman letter T and M, both written together in capital forms. These letters “TM” are super-scripted (or raised) and often placed on the right hand side of the trademark. For example: TechWelkin™.

Trademark logos of various businesses.

Trademark logos of various businesses.

In larger documents where the trademark name or logo appears very often, it is also acceptable that you put trademark symbol when on first use only. Another practice in such cases is that an asterisk sign (*) is used along with the first usage of the trademark name or logo. Then a footnote is added giving details of trademark rights.

Without any further ado, let’s get started.

This method works on Windows only. And your keyboard must also have a numeric keypad as illustrated below.

All you have to do is to copy the symbol from somewhere like a web page, or the character map for windows users, and switch over to where you need the symbol (say in Word or Excel), then hit Ctrl+V to paste.

Below is the symbol for you to copy and paste into your document. Just select it and press Ctrl+C to copy, switch over to MS Word or Excel, place your insertion pointer at the desired location and press Ctrl+V to paste.
