How to Use and Format the Tm Symbol

The ™ symbol is a notice that a word, phrase, logo, or other sign is being claimed as a trademark. In the United States, TM may be used for goods and SM may be used for services even without a federal registration. The registration symbol ® has a different meaning and should be reserved for a mark that is registered for the relevant goods or services.

Place ™ close enough to the claimed mark that readers can tell what it modifies. Many owners position it immediately after the mark, often raised or reduced in size, but the exact visual treatment is a style choice. Keep the placement consistent throughout the same document or interface.

  • Place ™ immediately after or beside the word, logo, or phrase being identified as the claimed mark.

  • Use a consistent superscript, baseline, or small-size treatment throughout the same design.

  • Use TM for goods or SM for services when following common U.S. trademark-notice practice.

  • Do not replace ™ with ® unless the mark is actually registered for the relevant use.

  • Keep ™ visually associated with the mark rather than with nearby descriptive text.

  • Use the Unicode character ™ in digital text so it remains searchable and copyable.

Common Tm Symbol Mistakes

  • Do not use ® unless the mark is registered for the relevant goods or services in the jurisdiction concerned.
  • Do not assume ™ means that a mark is federally registered.
  • Do not use © as a substitute for ™; copyright and trademark identify different rights.
  • Do not confuse ™ with SM, which is commonly used for a service mark in the United States.
  • Do not assume adding ™ creates trademark rights by itself.
  • Do not rely on ™ as a substitute for a trademark clearance search or legal advice.
  • Do not attach ™ to ordinary descriptive wording unless that wording is actually being claimed as a mark.
  • Do not treat ™ as part of the Unicode spelling of the brand name when the symbol is only a notice.

More About the Tm Symbol

The trademark symbol ™ is a Unicode text character, not an image. The trademark symbol is placed after a name, logo, phrase, or other mark to indicate that it is being claimed as a trademark. Because it remains selectable text, it can be copied into documents, messages, spreadsheets, source code, usernames, captions, and other fields that support Unicode. Its appearance can change with the active font or operating system, while the stored character remains U+2122 (TRADE MARK SIGN).

Supporting searches such as “alt code for trademark symbol”, “tm symbol iphone”, and “trademark symbol on the keyboard” usually describe the same core task from different angles: identifying the correct character, copying it, or learning how to enter it with a keyboard. This page keeps those intents together so you do not need separate pages for small wording differences. Use the copy control for the fastest method, then check the platform rows when you need a repeatable shortcut on a specific device or app.

Queries such as “how to add a trademark symbol in word” and “registered trademark symbol copy and paste” are covered by the keyboard, application, and character-code sections. The Windows and Mac instructions explain practical input methods, while the Microsoft Word and Google Docs rows cover document editing. Unicode, HTML, hexadecimal, and CSS values are listed separately so developers can insert the exact character without confusing it with a similar-looking mark.

Choose ™ when its documented meaning matches the surrounding text, and compare the related-symbol links below when another character may be more precise. Spacing and visual style can vary by context, so follow the style guide of the document or platform. For example: ExampleBrand™
