      Does Google spider read registered trademarks (the 'R' or 'TM') or do these marks impede anything if they are featured in meta tags or text?

        We have a registered trademark. I've not seen any problems with either. The only potential problem I could see would be in using the raw character instead of the HTML entity (®) and you're not using UTF8 on your site it's possible that it could appear garbled in some contexts.

          Agreed. if you do not use the proper formatting when adding the text, you could wind up with strange characters showing up when Google/Search engines index those descriptions. We have used them many times in the past, without any issues.
