It depends on the use.


You may use a registered trademark for a commecrial purpose as long as it is for educational or editorial purposes - and as long as you make note of the trademark's owner.





An example of properly using a trademark would be mentioning ';KLEENEX'; and then noting that the Kleenex brand is a registered trademark of the Kimberly-Clark Corporation.





You may not use a registered trademark in a cmmecrial purpose in which the intent is to confuse the public or coat-tail the brand recognition of a trademark. That will get you sued.

I would go with ';true.'; I don't believe there is any criminal statute prohibitng the unauthorized use of a trademark (or patent, for that matter) as there is with copyright infringement. The remedy is a civil suit. It can be heard by a federal court either by virtue of diversity jurisdiction (in which case state law applies) or if the trademark is federally registered (making it federal question jurisdiction and making federal law applicable).
