    Alternatively, you can use &#174; to add a registered symbol in HTML. Both codes display the same ® symbol on your website.
    • Use the registered symbol on your website to inform visitors that the preceding image, logo, name , or word/phrase has been registered with your country's intellectual property or trademark office. [1]

    To add the trademark sign in HTML, type or paste &#8482; after the image, logo, brand name, or words you intend to trademark.
    • The trademark symbol doesn't have any legal protection. It only shows visitors that you've either submitted your registration paperwork or intend to register. [2]

    Use a copyright symbol to show ownership over intellectual property like web content, art, music, and prose. You can also type or paste the HTML code &#169; , which also displays a © copyright symbol.
    • When adding a copyright symbol to your website, you'll usually want to follow it with the first year you published your work, followed by the copyright owner's name.
