Well I happend to have follow a lecture on intellectual property (while the 
focus was on pattent and innovation protection, he spoke a little bit about 
trademarks), good timing I had say ;p, and in France, he cleary states that 
for trademark (and pattents) "no registration means no right" (unlike "code" 
that don't need registration to be protected). I also would be carefull with 
the (TM) and (R) symbols they might (like the (C) symbol) have no meaning 
outside US.
