TechWhirl (TECHWR-L) is a resource for technical writing and technical communications professionals of all experience levels and in all industries to share their experiences and acquire information.
For two decades, technical communicators have turned to TechWhirl to ask and answer questions about the always-changing world of technical communications, such as tools, skills, career paths, methodologies, and emerging industries. The TechWhirl Archives and magazine, created for, by and about technical writers, offer a wealth of knowledge to everyone with an interest in any aspect of technical communications.
I think the TM circle says simply "this is a trademark" without saying it's
registered; and whether or not it's applied for, or ever will be applied
for, isn't implied.
- I agree.
Also, I'm not sure that much cruciality remains to the word Copyright or
the circle-C, now that the USA has fallen into line with most of the rest
of the world regarding copyright by default. They are nice to have,
though, especially with an explicit date and copyright-owner's name.
- True, in one sense - copyright is copyright, whether claimed or not. But
in the UK at any rate, it may be very difficult to recover damages for
breach of copyright without an explicit claim. So (usually) best to include
the claim.
