NanoTech Entertainment Inc (NTEK)

[shepdawg]

You clearly know nothing about trademarks or trademark law. NanoTech doesn't claim to own the term NanoTech, but rather NanoTech Entertainment, and the NanoTech Entertainment Logo. The owner of a trademark simply has to claim the trademark by noticing it with a TM. Once that is established in a commercial setting, that sets the date of ownership of the trademark. A company that wishes to further protect the mark, may seek to file a (R) registered trademark by filing the appropriate filings with the USPTO. Once the application is reviewed and approved, then and only then does the mark become a registered trademark, and at that time the owner can then use the circle R instead of the TM.
