Well, you've had your question answered over & over again but I wanted to throw in my two cents...
Just because a company uses the ® symbol does NOT mean they have a registered trademark. That is the proper, technical way to use it but not everyone does. There's also the ™ symbol, which either means there's a pending trademark application OR the company is claiming rights to the mark.
Another intellectual property symbol, ©, is for copyrights.
I posted a link to a great resource site if you're interested in reading further.
Hope that helps! |

Under U.S. trademark law, the R-in-a-circle symbol (®) may only be used in connection with a mark if that mark is a federally registered trademark. By "federally registered" we mean that the trademark owner has not only filed a trademark registration application with the US Patent & Trademark Office, but has been granted a registration. In contrast, the TM and SM symbols may be used freely without respect to whether or not there is a federal trademark registration. If you are offering goods or services, you may freely use the TM or SM symbol to denote trademarks or service marks that you use to indicate the origin of your goods or services. |

That R means registered. In other words, no one else is entitled to use that name. |

It stands for Federal Registration, and is also called a Registered Trademark.
The federal registration symbol may be used once the mark is actually registered in the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office. Even though an application is pending, the registration symbol may not be used before the mark has actually become registered. The federal registration symbol should only be used on goods or services that are the subject of the federal trademark registration. [Note: Several foreign countries use the letter R enclosed within a circle to indicate that a mark is registered in that country. Use of the symbol by the holder of a foreign registration may be proper.

It stands for Registered Trademark which means you can't copy that name to a shirt or something and try to sell it. That would be illegal and you could get arrested. |
