(No written rule mandates that you must use your trademark this way this is just the use we recommend to safeguard your mark as best as we know-how). If you are using your trademark on print materials that are more than two pages long, it would be better to use the trademark symbol once on your mark every 1-2 pages to remind the reader that you are the owner of the trademark or service mark. You do not need to include the symbol every time the trademark is mentioned however, it would be best if you include it in a highly visible place, such as the top of a webpage or document bearing the mark. You may use any of the trademark or service mark symbols that apply to your business at the top of a web page, print material, brochure, advertising material, product, or service offering. How Often Should You Use the TM, SM, or (R) symbol? Not every page of your website needs to have this designation added to the mark. If you are using your trademark or service mark symbol on a website, add the SM or TM symbol to the right of your brand on a prominent location of your website. For example, the trademark Target® has the letter “ R” in a circle at the top right corner of target, indicating that the term Target® is federally registered as a trademark at the USPTO. Typically the TM, SM, or (R) mark are placed as a superscript at the top right end of the word. The use of the (®) registered trademark, federally registering your trademark or service mark with the USPTO, does have more additional legal benefits that we will discuss later in this article.
It deters others from utilizing an identical or similar mark for the same or similar products or services. While using the TM symbol and the SM symbol offer you some protection under the common law, a major benefit is that this puts people on notice that you are using your brand as a trademark, identifying that you are the source of the goods or services bearing the mark.
