Trademark Symbols in Scientific Writing

With the continuous stream of new instruments and techniques in mass spectrometry, it isn’t surprising to see trademark symbols sprinkled liberally about in papers, presentations, and proposals. On the other hand, use of these symbols in non-commercial scientific writing is unnecessary. The symbol ™ designates a trademark and ® designates a federally registered trademark, for …
