I'm new to the list and hope I can get some helpful advice. In
a document where constant reference is made to a product
which legally has a trademark, a service mark, a copyright,
etc., is it proper to follow the product name with the
appropriate mark every time, or is it acceptable to drop the
mark once indicated at the beginning of the document? What
if it is a document with several sections/chapters?

Thanks for your input.
