Using trademark symbol

[pixi1]

Can anyone help please?

We have a client who wants to trademark the name of her product - a retail product - she wants to add the trademark TM against her product name (so whatever font is used the TM will sit next to the name)

Question: whichever font is used does there need to be a specific font licence to cover this ? Or would standard suffice as the letters used will in essence become outlined

Hope this makes sense?
Thank you

There is no "standard" font license. The font is licensed, and the font license applies. Some font licenses allow all commercial use, some font licenses forbit outlining. You need to check the actual license.

Generally you will have to use the ™ (Unicode 2122, ALT+0153 on the keyboard) of the font you are using for the rest of the copy/logo.

In that sense what applies for the ™ (in superscipt) will depend on the licence of the font itself. If outlining is authorised within the licence of said font, then you're covered. So you can follow @Test Screen Name original advice and read the EULA (end user licence agreement)  of the font in question to see what's covered or not.
