What is the difference between a trademark symbol and a registered trademark symbol?

A trademark symbol is a symbol that is used to identify a company or product. A registered trademark symbol is a symbol that is used to indicate that a company or product is the legitimate owner of the trademark.

Trademark symbols can be either graphical or non-graphical, and can be used in a variety of ways, such as on packaging, websites, and marketing materials. Registered trademark symbols, on the other hand, are only used by the company or product owner and cannot be used by others without the owner's permission.

Trademark symbols are typically registered with the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office (USPTO), while registered trademark symbols are typically registered with the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office (USPTO) or the World Intellectual Property Organization (WIPO).
