English term or phrase: TM and ® symbols
In Spanish, the registered trademark symbol (® or TM ) is to be added to the end of a trademark phrase like they do in English? i.e. "Tarjeta Visa® ". Are the symbols ® and ™ written the same way?
Maria A Litwin
Yes, they are written the same way.
Explanation:
Sí. se dejan igual; XXXX® y XXXXX™

Saludos,

Ojo: un ® no es lo mismo que un ™. El ™ indica que tienes una marca que NO ESTÁ registrada. Alguna persona ha solicitado que se registre la marca pero no está.

® significa que la marca ESTÁ registrada y por ende, protegida por la leyes pertinentes depropiedad intelectual y de marcas.

Te paso la definición en inglés:

A ™ is usually used to indicate an unregistered trademark. It is an informal notification that there is a public claim as a trademark.

An SM represents an unregistered service mark. It is also an informal notification that there is a public claim as a service mark.

The ® (commonly pronounced R-in-a-circle or Circle-R) is a warning notice to advice the public that the mark is federally registered and their use provides legal benefits. This notice can be used only with registered marks. Use of a ® with any unregistered trademark may result in claims of fraud. Several other countries also use the ® symbol to indicate that a trademark or service mark is registered in their respective systems.

Saludos,

Marca Registrada o MR


Explanation:
He visto que se utiliza MR en vez de TM de trademark, sobre todo en contextos de derechos de autor, pero el uso de ® y (C) es bastante generalizado también.

Explanation:
Hi María!
I agree with Pepelu but it appears there is also another option in Spanish-speaking countries. In Mexico, I see "MR" [Marca Registrada] used a lot after a brand or company namename on many products,
