I don't understand what your problem is. IN both the case of the
(R) and the (TM), all that is protected is the use of the mark.
There is no restriction on your describing the product, or the
trademark in a publication, as long as you give credit to the
owner of the mark (as in "UNIX is a Registered TM of AT&T"). 

What specific use of the trademark brought up this question, Andrea?
