The TM symbol is used to indicate that a mark is being used as a trademark even if it is not yet registered with the relevant trademark authority, while the ® symbol is used to indicate that a mark is a registered trademark and is officially protected by law. However, it’s important to note that the use of these symbols may vary by country, and it is advisable to follow the specific guidelines and regulations of the relevant trademark authority in each jurisdiction.
