Use of the symbols

Anyone claiming a right in a mark may use the symbols TM (trademark) or SM (service mark) in conjunction with the mark so as to alert the public of the claim. No registration or application is necessary to use these symbols.

However, the registration symbol ®, may only be used after the mark is registered with the USPTO.  It is improper to use this symbol at any time prior to the actual registration of the mark. These symbols should not be included in the drawings you submit as they are not part of the mark.
