There was discussion in the recent past about the status of the trademark Touch-Tone. Several people alleged that it was no longer a trademark. My most recent telephone bill from New England Telephone shows the registered trademark symbol (a capital R in a circle) immediately after the word Touch-Tone. There isn't anything on the bill which indicates whose registered trademark it is, though. Dave C.

It was up for grabs, apparently, so they registered or copyrighted or whatever it was that one does with something like that.
