Spaces behind \textgreater not working as expected

I am faced with the following problem. I write a document in which I refer to a registered brand and thus looks like "MyBrand\textrademark" and this work. However, there is no spcae before the consecutive word even if I add a lot of spaces. The easiest fix I have found so far is to a dd an ”~" but isn't there a nicer way ?

Answer 1

If you don't want to manually insert a space after each use, you could use the the xspace package to intelligently insert a space as needed:

Code:

\documentclass{article}
\usepackage{textcomp}
\usepackage{xspace}

\let\OldTexttrademark\texttrademark
\renewcommand{\texttrademark}{\OldTexttrademark\xspace}%

\begin{document}
MyBrand\texttrademark is cool.

A cool brand is MyBrand\texttrademark.

\end{document}
