The TM symbol merely indicates that you view the mark as your trademark and as such can be used on either an unregistered or a registered mark. The ® symbol specifically indicates that the mark to which it is affixed is registered. Consequently it is an offence to use it unless you are in receipt of the certificate for the trademark.
