I'm wondering what the current policy is on using the Mono(tm) in 
advertising.

Usage example: Mono (tm) compatible software

US registration Trademark details here

For the curious..

Question: If said company/individual puts the legal notice : (Mono is a 
registered trademark of Novell Inc.) Is it okej to use the word Mono (tm)?

Cheers,

C.
