"Matlab ©"
Hehe, if you're going to be defending the Mathworks' trademarks, the proper symbol to use is ®, not ©. But who can keep copyright and trademark laws apart, right? It's all the same as long as it's someone else telling you that some intangible thing isn't yours. /s

But seriously, folks it's not your job to defend the Mathworks' trademarks. It's their job. You can be deferential and do their job for them, but it's not legally required. It seems like kow-towing to me, giving Matlab more respect than it deserves.
This actually is a pet peeve of mine, because I see so many non-Mathworks employees cargo-culting those ® and ™ symbols around without knowing why, because they see the Mathworks themselves using them so much. As a GNU Octave developer, it feels a bit odd to see how effective the Mathworks is at convincing their followers to display the proper respect and protocol towards their products.
