English term

"U"

English to Spanish Law/Patents Law: Patents, Trademarks, Copyright
I have seen TM (for trade mark), R (for Registered Mark), C (for copywright), and some more. But I have never sin the letter "U" after a brand. -The letter within a circle, as in the case of R for Registered and C for Copywright.
Does anybody know what does the U simbol stand for?
Thanks

comida kosher

Commonly known as "Circle U," the circle graphically represents the letter O for "Orthodox," and the U inside stands for "Union."
Note from asker:
Been searching about Kosher and it could fit ok. I will keep on searching just in case, and as Telva says, there might be other possibilities depending on context. I will have the one you said as my first option. Regarding context, it's just a brand for potato crisps, and is followed by this circled U.

gracias, telva! (tratándose, en este caso, de patatas fritas, sí creo que es el símbolo de identificación para los alimentos kosher.)
