Copyright and trademark HTML

Copyright
&#169
in your document to get the © symbol in your web pages. Use the &#169  for HTML, XML, XSL and other pages. While you can use the older © this will not work for XML and XSL. In the first case, 169 is the code. In the second, the value copy in between the ampersand and the semicolon is the code.

Trademark
Trademarks have three different and distinct symbols.

If you have a trademark that is registered with the U.S. Patent Office then you can use the Capital letter R inside a circle ® (registered trademark symbol). Do not use the ® symbol on an unregistered trademark. If you have a product or service that is submitted to the U.S. Patent Office but not yet approved, use the ™ symbol.

If you have a trademark that is not registered use the TM for a trademark on a product and the SM for a trademark on a service. I could not locate the XSL code for a servicemark, but the XSL code for a trademark is &#153 which gives you this: â„¢

The HTML code for a trademark is <SMALL><SUP>TM</SUP></SMALL>

The HTML code for a servicemark is <SMALL><SUP>SM</SUP></SMALL>

The HTML code for a registered trademark is &reg; (an ampersand, reg, followed by a semicolon).
