The trademark symbol (™) can be used when you want to show that you are using a specific mark as a trademark, regardless of whether it is registered or not. It serves as a way to notify others that you consider that mark to be your trademark. Essentially, the trademark symbol indicates your intent to claim ownership and protection over the mark as a distinctive identifier for your goods or services.
As a result, the ™ symbol is typically used for trademarks that have not been registered yet and are typically undergoing the registration process at the given point in time.
