Trademarks are a bit misunderstood. Trademarks are adjectives and not nouns, so when you refer to a company by its name, you do not need to use the trademark symbol. For example, Answers Corporation is the name of the company that runs this site. If you refer to Answers Corporation in an article, you should not use the trademark symbol. However if you say something like, "The Answers.com(SM) website is . . . ", then you should use the trademark symbol. It is often customary to use a trademark symbol in the title of an article (if applicable) and then the first time that the trademark appears in the article. It is generally accepted that you do not need to use the symbol each time the trademark appears. Michelle_Esq IP attorney with 15 years experience
