That is an inaccurate statement. In the United States, the TM/SM designations may be used to denote the claim of common law rights in a mark. No pending application is required. On Mon, Dec 16, 2024 at 6: 02 PM Lara Pearson via E-trademarks <e-trademarks@ oppedahl-lists. com>

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.
