I need for a proper citation the registered trademark symbol, which you can
find on almost any product: it is a superscript "R" with a circle around. It
is similar to the \copyright symbol which is already available in LaTeX.
But the trademark symbol seems not.

What do I need to do to
- either create one myself with "\bigcirc" and "R" and a backstep in between
(how?)
- or make a predefined trademark symbol available to my document?

Thanks a lot.
Hayo

Read usrguide.ltx (?) or its compiled form. \textregistered.

\textregister

may need

\usepackage{textcomp}

and/or

\usepackage[T1]{fontenc}

Actually, it needs neither (though it might look better with one of
them).

What it does need is a
\newcommand{\textregister}{\textregistered}
or you have to use \textregistered in the first place.

As you are the support desk of Y&Y, I am somewhat surprised that you
should not have tried out the suggested solution before posting it.
Would that not be the common procedure?

there is a command as "\circledR" for trademark symbol...

sure; but it's not in a circle

\documentclass{article}
\usepackage[TS1]{fontenc}
\begin{document}
foo\texttrademark{}
bar\textregistered
\end{document}

the first gives a (rather small) sans-font "TM"
the second looks (to my eye) vaguely _wrong_

unicode has "registered sign" as U+00AE and a "capital" version as U+24C7
and trademark as U+24C9 (upper case) U+24E3 (lower case)

(i would be surprised if the utf8 option to fontenc helped, here.)

so unless you're using xetex or luatex i guess you're down to "drawing"
the thing with your favourite drawing package. latex "picture"
environment is probably too feeble; either of pstricks or pgf/tikz is a
rather large object, but would do the job.

(note, i shot off having read it was trademark you were after, and
haven't removed all i wrote in that phase...)

Howdy,

Try

\DeclareRobustCommand{\RTM}{\leavevmode\hbox{\ooalign{\hfil\raise.02ex\hbox{\kern.02em\scriptsize\textrm{R}}\hfil\crcr\mathhexbox20D}}}


(all one line)

and then \RTM will give you a mark. Can't guarantee it looks too good.

Good Luck,
