The proper trademark symbol is generally use on the right shoulder of the word or logo. See image below to see where it is placed on the sample BRAND logo design. The same applies in text — so I would show that BRAND is registered like this: BRAND ®. For more about which symbol you should be using, see here.

What is a trademark audit? A trademark audit is a USPTO program to check random trademark registrations to see if the registered trademark is still in use. Known as the Post Registration Audit Program , the goal of the USPTO is to bolster the accuracy and reliability of its trademark register. Audits give the USPTO a way to cancel registrations for trademarks no longer in use with the exception of marks with excusable nonuse.

In that case, the court held that Instagram’s terms of use (which were accepted by the plaintiff, a photographer, when he created an Instagram account) were insufficiently clear to allow Mashable to escape liability for publishing Instagram content through the process of embedding.

See Unicolors, Inc. v. H&M Hennes & Mauritz, L.P., No. 20-915. In 2008, Congress amended the Copyright Act to acknowledge the validity of copyright registrations that were based on applications with ministerial, nonmaterial errors.

Both dictionary.com and Merriam-Webster share a common definition of easily seen or understood. You can say that obviousness refers to something that is evident or recognizable. In the patent world, “obvious” has a particular meaning that is, frankly speaking, not so obvious.
