The symbol capital R within a circle [®], or circled capital
letter R, is the registered trademark symbol. This indicates that
the product is registered with a national trademark office (ex:
Registered, U.S. Patent and Trademark Office). If a trademark is
not officially registered, then it will be marked with a
superscript TM (in capitals).
