I wouldn't use (R) and (TM). I have read in various places that (C) is
NOT a legal alternative to a C with a circle around it. I can only
assume that is applies to (R) and (TM) also. A quick google search gave
me this page (http://www.templetons.com/brad/copymyths.html) which has a
short blurb about it at the end of question one. More searching can
probably find something with a little more detail.
