As a result of Microsoft having received registered trademark status for the Windows logo, the trademark symbol (™) at the bottom right of the Windows logo on the Genuine Microsoft Label (GML) will be changing to a registered trademark symbol (®). Any GML variants containing the trademark symbol (™) may be used to exhaustion. This change is effective immediately.
In addition, Microsoft has introduced a specific GML for use on Academic products, shown in the image below. Please note that as defined in the LLA, this Logo is part of the GML acquired from a GML Supplier. It may not be used in print or online.
