It depends entirely upon the document, which you did not specify.
This question is on the CMS FAQ, and I will defer to that, as it defers to

"In publications that are not advertising or sales materials, all that is
necessary is to use the proper spelling and capitalization of the name of
the product. A trademark attorney can tell you when the use of the symbol is
required". http://www.press.uchicago.edu/Misc/Chicago/cmosfaq.html
