Discussing TM and (R) in game titles
™ represents the trademark mark, while ® denotes the officially registered trademark, which is protected by the USPTO.
TM stands for unregistered trademarks. ® refers to registered ones and carries legal weight; using ® without registration is prohibited. In practice, TM serves as a deterrent, though disputes can be resolved with the company if needed. ® means you’re not allowed to use it at all.
