Registered Symbol ®: How to Type in MS Word and HTML

June 5, 2015 By Lalit Kumar 3 Comments

Learn how to type registered trademark symbol (®) in MS Word and HTML. Also learn how registered sign is distinct from trademark sign ™ and service mark ℠.




Registered Trademark symbol (®) (or registered sign) is an often used symbol in computers. This symbol indicated that the associated name or logo has been duly registered with the authorities and any attempt to misuse the name or logo could be punished by law. In this tutorial, we will learn what is registered trademark symbol and how to type it in MS Word, other computer applications and in web pages.

What is Registered Trademark Symbol?

The registered trademark symbol composed of a circled capital letter R. This symbol is usually placed on the right hand side of the registered name or logo. This symbol is also commonly super-scripted or raised.

Trademark is a name or logo that is used to uniquely identify a product or service. Trademark status of a name or logo is indicated with a trademark symbol (™). But to be precise, in some countries, for example USA, trademark symbol is used only when goods are being referred to. For services, a Service Mark (℠) symbol, is used. Copyright symbol has a completely different use.

Intel is the registered trademark of Intel Corporation. In contrast, the word "inside" and "core" are just trademarks.

Trademark does not need to be necessarily registered. But if you decide to officially register it with the authorities, you can use the registered symbol instead of the trademark symbol.

      Thank you for your comments, Vasu. All these methods have been tested and they should work. Anyway, I glad that at least one of them worked in your setup and you were able to type the Registered Symbol.
