[E-trademarks] Use of TM/SM in US

[Dale Quisenberry]

You are correct.  If you are using the trademark you can use those symbols and should use those symbols.  No need to have a trademark application pending.

Here’s my blog on this.  I invite constructive criticism.

Happy work week, list friends:

A US trademark attorney posted on LinkedIn today that use of TM/SM is reserved for those with pending apps.  I don't believe this is accurate (and neither does ChatGPT 😂), but I wanted to double check with the folks in this group, in case I've been missing something all these years.

Thank you.
