Trademark FAQs - related questions & answers

Question: Can I use the registered trademark symbol "R" within a circle ®?

Answer:
The registered trademark symbol "R" within a circle ® is for a trademark that has been registered federally. It can only be used after the United States Patent and Trademark Office actually registers the mark.


Question: Are there federal regulations governing the use of the designations "TM" or "SM" with trademarks?

Answer:
No. Use of the symbols "TM" or "SM" (for trademark and service mark, respectively) may, however, be governed by local, state, or foreign laws and the laws of the pertinent jurisdiction must be consulted.

Question: Does the U.S.Patent & Trademark Office have free searchable online patent databases?

Answer:
Yes, the US Patent & Trademark Office site has full-text and image databases of patents issued since 1790 and patent applications. TIFF software is needed to view the patent images.
