Do I Need to
use the "TM" or "®" for
my Trade-Mark?
Although not required by law to do so, trademark owners often indicate
ownership or registration of their trademark through certain symbols, namely
"TM" (trademark) or "®" (registered trademark).
The "TM" symbol can be used with a trademark regardless of
whether it is registered, as long as it is being used in association with wares
or services. The "®" symbol, however, may only be used once the
trademark is registered.
