Some people think that when you use a product or brand name in an article, you should acknowledge any trademarks. Simply insert this code after the first instance of the mark:

This will insert a superscript TM symbol (™) and provide a hyperlink to the following (incomplete) list of trademarks used in Wikipedia.

There is no legal requirement to acknowledge trademarks.
