The difference between ®, ©, and ™. You can put ™ on anything; it simply means that you consider it to be a trademark for your product or service. The registered trademark ® is used to indicate that your trademark is registered with the government, which gives you a wider range of statutory remedies in case of infringement. You only use the registered bug if youve actually registered the trademark formally, but you can use ™ freely. For services (as opposed to products) you can use SM instead of TM. In other, more class-conscious societies, such as some European countries, you can register the trademark even before youve actually proved that its associated with your product or service. The copyright bug © can be used with any copyrighted material, registered or not. Unlike trademarks, copyrights exist as soon as something is created, so you can use this symbol freely for anything you create that is covered by copyright (books, songs, music, images, etc.).
