The Registered Sign (®) is a typographical symbol indicating that the preceding word or logo is a trademark officially registered with a national trademark office. While primarily used in commercial branding, packaging, and legal texts to protect intellectual property, it is also frequently used in internet culture where people attach it to slang or inside jokes to playfully claim ownership over a phrase.
