"Registered trademark" symbols? If you are going to claim a trademark, that needs to be registered, too -- in advance. Just saying it's a trademark doesn't make it so -- the laws are tougher than copyrighting.

If it's just your name in a nice font, you don't need to register it: you can't trademark a font and you don't need to trademark your legal name (like "John Smith.")
