Subject:When to use (R) and (TM) From:Tracy Boyington <tracy_boyington -at- OKVOTECH -dot- ORG> Date:Wed, 12 Aug 1998 13:35:49 -0500
Here's the other side of a question I asked a few weeks ago. :-) I need
to refer to some products by brand name. Each is only used once in my
document. I don't have access to the actual products, just the names, so
I can't look at the lablels. Would you use (R) or (TM) after the product
names, and how would you find out which one to use?
Please reply to me personally and I'll post a summary to the list if
anyone's interested.
