Actually, this is not necessary, nor is it desirable. In QST, for which
I was a staff technical editor for seven years, we stopped doing that
when our attorneys determined that there is no reason to do this in
routine editorial mentions of such products. If you're referring to some
other vendor's trademarked stuff in your own advertising or marketing
literature, this is certainly necessary, but that's not what we're doing
here. Let's avoid burdening the world with more chaff that makes text
harder to read.

Cheers and happy new year!
