Trademark TM

Anyone can use the "TM," since it is not regulated by the U. Patent and Trademark Office.

Use of the symbol does not guarantee that you will win any fights over the right to the trademark -- especially if someone else is claiming the same mark or a similar mark and has been using it longer than you have -- but it immediately and publicly establishes your claim. If no one else is using a mark, the "TM" plants your flag there first, which carries a lot of legal weight. In the United States, the only way to establish a trademark is by using it.

If you owned, say, an auto parts fabricator and wanted to trademark "Arizona's Best Lug Nuts," the first step would be to make sure no other business was already advertising itself with that phrase.

If no one was, then you could start using the phrase in commerce -- in your advertising, promotions, signage and so on. And you would use the "TM" symbol to claim rights to the mark. To gain a full range of legal protections for a trademark, it's best to register it with the U. However, ServiceMark seems to only work in Word for me.

Hide the trademark symbols. This can be expensive and not always permitted due to regulatory constraints. Avoid marking on the packaging: This option may decrease the value of the mark and may be illegal in countries where marking is mandatory or where there is a clear advantage to make use of the marking.

If you use the trademark in Germany , it is preferable to use it solely in connection with registered trademarks. The use before registration has been considered misleading and deceptive under German Unfair Competition Law.

However, there have been contradictory decisions at the same level of jurisdiction.
