| Q: |
When can I use the ©, ® and ™ symbols? |
| A: |
The © symbol may be used whenever an original work of authorship has been fixed in a tangible form, e.g., a book or article has been written. Use of the © symbol does not require a federal copyright registration, although a registration is required to maintain a lawsuit for copyright infringement. The ® symbol may be used only when a federal trademark registration has been obtained. The ™ symbol may be used without a registration. It should only be used when the user believes, in good faith, that trademark rights may legitimately be asserted. |
