[QUOTE="Focus, post: 2208559, member: 62703"] If you want to claim rights to a trademark PRIOR TO REGISTERING IT you use the symbol ™ afterwards, once it's registered than you use the little R symbol with the circle around it like this ® You can still develop and claim a common law trademark on something that you have used in interstate commerce previous to their filing for a Trademark, and you should oppose their registration of such if that will harm your domain and or goodwill/brand associated with said mark. If they go for a provisional 1b then it's an "intent to use" where as 1a is claiming it's in active use. If your first usage date preceeds what they claim and you plan to have exclusive rights, then you better get to filing for a real Trademark and not sitting around like a bump on a log! :) [/QUOTE]
