A superscript 'TM' (™), used to indicate a claimed but not necessarily registered trademark.
Also known as: TM symbol
The ™ symbol signals that the user claims trademark rights in a word, phrase, logo or other brand feature, typically under common-law trademark principles. Unlike ®, it does not require or imply formal registration with a trademark office.
Indicates a claimed trademark in a word, logo or brand feature under common-law rights, without requiring registration with a national trademark office.
Common-law trademark practice varies by jurisdiction; this is a general convention, not a single global statute.
The letters T and M in small superscript, usually placed to the upper right of a word or logo.
Frequently confused; see the comparison page for the legal distinction.
