We can (and should!) identify trademarks, service marks, and registered trademarks in edX user guides.
Identifying Trademarked Terms
- In the US, the guidance is to include the appropriate ™, ℠, or ® symbol "on first use".
- For international publications, an attribution page should be provided.
- Trademarks are adjectives, not nouns. Be sure to follow the trademarked term with the appropriate generic term on first use. For example, use "an iPhone® mobile device" rather than "iPhone®"; "on a Mac® computer" rather than "on a Mac®".
Adding Symbols in Sublime 3
Copy one of the following symbols and paste it into your .rst file. (Clunky, but it works...)
- Registered trademark symbol: ®
- Trademark symbol: ™
- Service mark symbol: ℠
