Altoids trademark question

[Little Nemo]

I'm looking at a box of Altoids and it says the following:

^{The Original Celebrated
CURIOUSLY STRONG}
CINNAMON^{TM
ARTIFICIALLY FLAVORED MINTS}
ALTOIDS^{R
MADE IN GREAT BRITAIN}

Should I assume from this that the Callard & Bowser company has trademarked the word "cinnamon"?

[Operator6]

I don't think they have trademarked "cinnamon", but rather the phrase "curiously strong Cinnamon", or even perhaps the phrase "the original celebrated curiously strong Cinnamon".
I have always wondered about the placement of these marks...
Right above our heads, we will find the (r) mark after the "P" in DOPE, and on a PEPSI COLA can, the mark is after
the PEP.
Dunno, but I too, am strongly curious.

The reason the (R) is places under the P is because it's simply easy to fit under a P; you got a lot of room there.
