Placement of trademark symbols in single-source content

["Claudia Thompson" <cthompson -at- keithley -dot- com>]

Hi all,

Since our company moved to single-source authoring, we've developed a new
dilemma: How do we deal with trademark attribution in our content? 

Our standard has always been to place a trademark or registered trademark
symbol following the first instance of a trademarked term in each SECTION.
However, with the single-source paradigm, it just doesn't work. 

To solve the problem, we decided to apply the rule to the first instance of
a trademarked term in each TOPIC. The resulting output is pretty "busy" in
places. 

I'm wondering if anyone else has dealt with this issue - any ideas or
advice? I have searched the web and found some mention of the issue, but
very little advice. 

Thanks in advance for your help!
