The Registered Trademark: This symbol is used for a trademark that has been officially registered with an authority, such as the USPTO. The ® symbol indicates that the mark is a registered trademark and entails the full legal protection and exclusive rights granted by registration. This symbol can only be used after the mark has completed the registration process and been officially granted registered status.
The TM symbol: This symbol represents an unregistered trademark. It is used to indicate that you are claiming rights to a specific mark and using it as a trademark, even if it is not yet officially registered. The TM symbol can be used on goods, packaging, or promotional materials.
