TM symbols

TM symbols indicate that a word, phrase, or logo is claimed as a trademark by a company or individual, signaling their intent to protect it as a brand identifier. The TM mark can be used without formal registration and helps inform others that the owner considers the term associated with their goods or services. It is a warning to others not to use that mark in a confusing way. This symbol helps establish brand recognition and rights, even if the trademark isn’t officially registered with a government trademark office.
