I have two registered trademarks One is for my company name, GRACEVERE. This name is in the header of each page. How do I add a superscript registered trademark symbol after the name?

The other trademark is a phrase: Designed To Help You Carry God’s Love and Truth To Those Around You. How do I superscript the registered trademark symbol?

It’s a simple fix: you just need to add &reg; in your theme’s text fields or Liquid files wherever the name/phrase appears. Example:

GRACEVERE&reg;
Designed To Help You Carry God’s Love and Truth To Those Around You&reg;

This will automatically render the superscript ® on your storefront.

I would wait until the final decision from USPTO. Right now it still says pending.

Hi! :waving_hand: @medbroker431

Adding a superscript ® (registered trademark symbol) in Shopify is straightforward, both for your company name in the header and your trademarked phrase. Here’s how you can do it:

:one: Using HTML in Shopify

  • Anywhere Shopify allows HTML, you can use:
GRACEVERE<sup>®</sup>

or

Designed To Help You Carry God’s Love and Truth To Those Around You<sup>®</sup>

The <sup> tag makes the ® appear in superscript.

:two: Header / Site Title

  • If your header is using theme settings:

    1. Go to Online Store → Themes → Customize.

    2. Check the Header section for the site title or logo text.

    3. Enter your company name like this:

      GRACEVERE<sup>®</sup>

    4. Save changes.

  • Some themes may strip HTML in text fields. If that happens, you’ll need to edit the theme code:

    1. Online Store → Themes → Actions → Edit code → header.liquid

    2. Locate the site title output:

      {{ settings.site_title }}

    3. Replace or append:

      GRACEVERE<sup>®</sup>

:three: Pages / Product Descriptions

  • In the rich text editor, switch to HTML view (click <> in the toolbar) and add:
Designed To Help You Carry God’s Love and Truth To Those Around You<sup>®</sup>

:four: Bonus Tip

  • If you want the ® symbol without HTML, you can also use the Unicode superscript symbol: &#174; or ®.

  • Example:

GRACEVERE&#174;
  • Some fonts render this slightly differently, so <sup>®</sup> usually looks cleaner.

:light_bulb: Tip: Check desktop and mobile to make sure the superscript displays nicely in your theme.
