Don't know - Trademarks don't always have to be registered to be a 
Trademark... a Registered Trademark can carry the symbol and has had all 
the due diligence done so its more 'protectable' but the lack of the 
registration doesn't make it 'not a trademark' just that it's not as 
defensible for violations.
