Registered (®), Trademark (™), and Copyright(©) symbol in LaTeX

The Registered (®), Trademark (™), and Copyright(©) symbol is used as a legal symbol all over the world. In LaTeX you can get various styles of these symbols with different packages.

In this tutorial, I will show you how to get these symbols in different styles with different packages.

Registered (®) symbol in LaTeX

To use the registered symbol in text mode you can use the \textregistered command provided by the textcomp package.

Use the \circledR command with the amssymb package to use this symbol in LaTeX math mode or even text mode.

\documentclass{article}
\usepackage{textcomp}
\usepackage{amssymb}
\begin{document}

  \noindent Registered symbol in text mode: \textregistered\\[4pt]
  Registered symbol in text mode with \verb|\circledR|: \circledR\\[4pt]
  Registered symbol in inline math mode: $\circledR$
  
\end{document}

Output:

registered symbols.

Registered (®) symbol with other packages

Also, You can use some other packages to get the registered symbol in LaTeX. See the table given below.

PackageCommandOutput
fontawesome\faRegistered\faRegistered
textcomp\sffamily\textregistered\sffamily\textregistered

Registered (®) symbol in superscript

You can use the \textsuperscript command to put the registered symbol in the superscript of any text.

An example will make it easy to understand.

\documentclass{article}
\usepackage{txfonts}
\usepackage{amssymb}
\usepackage{fontawesome}
\begin{document}
 \noindent Registered symbol in superscript with \textbf{txfonts} package:\\[4pt]
   CodeSpeedy\textsuperscript{\tiny{\textregistered}}\\[4pt]
   CodeSpeedy\textsuperscript{\textregistered} \\[4pt]\\[4pt]
  
 Registered symbol in superscript with \textbf{amssymb} package:\\[4pt]
   CodeSpeedy\textsuperscript{\tiny{\circledR}}\\[4pt]
   CodeSpeedy\textsuperscript{\circledR}\\[4pt]\\[4pt]
   
 Registered symbol in superscript with \textbf{fontawesome} package:\\[4pt]
   CodeSpeedy\textsuperscript{\tiny{\faRegistered}}\\[4pt]
   CodeSpeedy\textsuperscript{\faRegistered}
\end{document}

Output:

registered symbol in superscript.

Trademark (™) symbol in LaTeX

Several packages provide commands to print the Trademark (™) symbols in LaTeX, which you can see in the table below.

PackageCommandOutput
textcomp\texttrademark\texttrademark
txfonts\texttrademark\texttrademark
fontawesome\faTrademark\faTrademark
txfonts\sffamily\texttrademark\sffamily\texttrademark

In normal LaTeX documents, Trademark (™) symbols written after any text are printed at the superscript position, but in some packages this may not be the case.

In that case, you can use the \textsuperscript command.

\documentclass{article}
\usepackage{txfonts}
\usepackage{fontawesome}
\begin{document}
 \noindent Registered symbol in superscript with \textbf{txfonts} package:\\[4pt]
   CodeSpeedy\textsuperscript{\tiny{\texttrademark}}\\[4pt]
   CodeSpeedy\textsuperscript{\texttrademark} \\[4pt]\\[4pt]  
   
 Registered symbol in superscript with \textbf{fontawesome} package:\\[4pt]
   CodeSpeedy\textsuperscript{\tiny{\faTrademark}}\\[4pt]
   CodeSpeedy\textsuperscript{\faTrademark}\\[4pt]\\[4pt] 
   
 Registered symbol in superscript without \verb|\textsuperscript|:\\[4pt]
   CodeSpeedy\texttrademark \\[4pt]
   CodeSpeedy\faTrademark
\end{document}

Output:

trademark symbol in superscript.

Copyright (©) symbol in LaTeX

PackageCommandOutput
textcomp\textcopyright\textcopyright
None$\copyright$$\copyright$
fontawesome\faCopyright\faCopyright
ccicons\ccCopy\ccCopy
textcomp\sffamily\copyright\sffamily\copyright

If you want to use the copyright symbol in the superscript position then you have to use the \textsuperscript command.

\documentclass{article}
\usepackage{txfonts}
\usepackage{ccicons}
\usepackage{fontawesome}
\begin{document}
 \noindent Copyright symbol in superscript with \textbf{txfonts} package:\\[4pt]
   CodeSpeedy\textsuperscript{\tiny{\copyright}}\\[4pt]
   CodeSpeedy\textsuperscript{\copyright} \\[4pt]\\[4pt]
