    Is Unicode a registered trademark then? If yes where does it say so?

    Are you suggesting Incorporate is equal to Consortium in this case?

    "The" usage is grammatical.
    Or is it mentioned somewhere that you would use "The Unicode Consortium"
    only?

    The trademarked name does not use ALL CAPS.

    Both refer to the same organization. Usually, you would use "The Unicode
    Consortium".

    Above is correct as per an existing English language standard, where ALL
    CAPS is used in order to emphasis, i.e., make it "louder".

    But where does it say "the use of ALL CAPS is discouraged"?
    And Is it Unicode Inc or is it Unicode Consortium? Which one is correct?

    Respectfully,

    Yes, Unicode (The Unicode Standard), is indeed a standard.

    And no, the use of ALL CAPS is discouraged. The
    proper spelling is "Unicode".

    there's no requirement for anyone to be conformant
    to the Unicode Standard. However, if you decide to
    claim conformance, there are specific requirements that
    you must meet, and they are defined in the Standard.

    Yes, Unicode (The Unicode Consortium) is indeed a consortium. If you just
    use "Unicode" as a shorthand, you need to rely on the context of your
    communication to allow readers to understand whether you mean the Standard
    or the Consortium.

    The Unicode Consortium is the publisher of The Unicode
    Standard as well as several other technical standards.

    As with the Unicode Standard, there is no requirement
    that you support these standards. But if you decide to
    claim conformance to any of them, there are specific requirements that you
    must meet.

    Hope this makes the situation more clear.
