I tried \textregistered. But the registed symbol isn't at the right corner.

By the way, does anybody know how to add space after this kind of character
such as \textregistered and \texttrademark.

thanks a lot!

\textsuperscript\textregistered? Like any TeX control sequence, following
spaces are gobbled up. To keep a space, you have to type \<space>. E.g.,
Acrobat Reader\textsuperscript\textregistered\ is a registered trademark of
Adobe.

Hi,

better write \textsuperscript\textregistered{} since then the following space
can extend and shrink as normal while \<space> has a fixed width.

Nope, the "\ " command gives exactly the same inter-word space as
an ordinary space character, including the flexibility.

You might be confusing this with the sentence-ending space
produced by a space chracter after punctuation. The "\ "
command always produces inter-word spaces, not sentence-ending
spaces, regardless of preceding punctuation.

Nonsense. \<space> is a normal space factor 1000 space, so the only
time when it will produce less space than a normal space is when you
have
a) \nonfrenchspacing active (not the case in vanilla LaTeX)
b) are directly behind a period or other character with an sfcode of
more than 1000. There are few, and none of them are called by macros
(discounting the \rbrack macro after a period).
