Adding a Registered Symbol in HTML

Type or paste ® to add a registered symbol in HTML. Alternatively, you can use ® to add a registered symbol in HTML. Both codes display the same ® symbol on your website. Use the registered symbol on your website to inform visitors that the preceding image, logo, name, or word/phrase has been registered with your country's intellectual property or trademark office.

If you haven’t registered a trademark, use a trademark ™ sign instead. To add the trademark sign in HTML, type or paste ™ after the image, logo, brand name, or words you intend to trademark. The trademark symbol doesn't have any legal protection. It only shows visitors that you've either submitted your registration paperwork or intend to register.

To add a copyright © symbol, type or paste ©. Use a copyright symbol to show ownership over intellectual property like web content, art, music, and prose. You can also type or paste the HTML code ©, which also displays a © copyright symbol. When adding a copyright symbol to your website, you'll usually want to follow it with the first year you published your work, followed by the copyright owner's name.
