I don't know if this helps, but...

Allen-Bradleyi_R_ Company has one of the most complete documentation I've ever
seen on when, where, how and why to use their logos, company name and other
proprietary "stuff." The document, called Allen-Bradley PUBLICATION
GUIDLINES AND TRADEMARK STANDARDS, includes the following paragraph under
the heading "Placement of TM and R".

"In material where the mark is used more than once, the TM or R need [only
appear the first time the mark is used in the material.] Exception: When
separate articles appear in a publication as in A-B TODAY, then the R or
TM should appear the first time the trademark is used [in each article.]"

NOTE: The text within the square brackets [] appears in boldface in the
original document.

Hope this helps.
