[challenge] I think the Hos can come up with a pretty interesting list of phrases we'd like Clive to trademark/copyright/patent/whateverthe*fudge*itishedoes. [/challenge]

LMAO. 

Individually your posts today do not rise to the level of karma worthiness.  However, in the aggregate they constitute an exceptional run.  +1

Hey, I have a question.

I was looking at a Jimmy John's menu the other day.

Half of the sandwiches with "names" had (R), the other half had TM after them.

What's the difference?

Clive will no doubt have the answer but I thought TM is like "patent pending". Once approved it is registered or "R".

Quote
Anyone who claims rights in a mark may use the TM (trademark) or SM (service mark) designation to alert the public to the claim, regardless of whether they have filed an application with the USPTO. This claim may not be valid, but merely evidences the owner's belief that the mark is protectable.

Use of the federal registration symbol, ®, can only be used when the mark has been registered with the USPTO. It is improper to use the ®, at any time before registration is granted by the USPTO.
