Need help from the VURD, pretty please.
Aug. 20th, 2008 11:18 amMy references at work are failing me, so I'm turning to the VURD for help. It's a matter of trademark use (like, the actual mark) within ad copy. I think I know which way it should go, but I lack a citation to back up my assertion.
Company!(r)
or
Company(r)!
Essentially, in a subheadline, does the registration mark need to be before the exclamation point or after it? The Company name does not include an exclamation point.
What I need is for somebody with access to such a citation to please let me know which one is correct and tell me where you found it. Wikipedia or force of opinion is NOT going to be useful here. Something like AP style, Chicago style, or even Turabian is what I need.
Please and THANK YOU.
