Poll: Do you have ℠ tm or (R) on your logo?
Seems like a lot of YC companies don't use it, do you use it on yours?
- eli 17y agoI find the little marks really unattractive. And IANAL but I have to assume that a trademark doesn't magically lose its legal protection if used without the (R).
- yan 17y agoI'm also NAL, but the proof that you've been using it prior to the offendor will hold up in court more so than that mark next to it.
- keltecp11 17y agoI'm confused...why does this matter to you?
- vaksel 17y agojust wondering if there is some legal requirement to do it or not. i.e. reddit = no trademark, digg = tm
- keltecp11 17y agoif u have a registered trade mark you use the (r) if you just want to have a tm next to your name you can... it really doesn't mean much, if someone steals ur mark and you can show u have proper rights to the look/feel of the (graphic) you can make a case... not an issue otherwise. @ www.tapinko.com we have a registered trademark with the USPTO so hence we put up the (r). It also helps with international law, etc... but proof it is on record.
- IsaacL 17y agoBy the way, have you noticed the keys at the 6th and 9th positions on the top row of your keyboard?
- halo 17y agoFor online companies, the domain and search engine rankings matters much more than the name being trademarked.
