Description​

Trademark identifies a legal trademark.

One of the values of the Class attribute on Trademark is Copyright. DocBook also has a Copyright element, but it is confined to meta-information. A copyright in running text is best represented as <trademark class=copyright>.

Processing expectations​

Formatted inline.

In addition to Trademark, two of the values of the Class attribute on ProductName make assertions about trademarks; presumably the same markup is intended for both Trademark and ProductName when they make assertions about trademarks.

Future Changes​

The InterfaceDefinition element will be discarded in DocBook V4.0. It will no longer be available in the content model of this element.

Attributes​

class

Class indicates the type of Trademark. The default is Trade.
