Note
The participle of a verb that careful usage frowns on. Both verbal meanings of trademark, registering a mark and labeling a product with one, are proscribed, so formal or legal writing safely prefers registered as a trademark. As a verb form it takes have in perfect tenses and be in the passive. Before a noun, as in a trademarked design, it becomes the adjective.
