What Is Trademark vs. Service Mark?
A trademark offers legal protection for a symbol, logo, phrase, word, design, or name that represents goods or products. A service mark, or servicemark, offers similar protection for services. If your company sells an item or multiple items, you'd need to trademark the mark used to represent the business. If you have a company that provides a service, focus on the service mark.
Using TM in your mark represents trademark and SM represents service mark. Neither holds any legal significance. The only symbol that has legal weight is the registered symbol, represented by an encircled R.
In order to use the registered symbol, a business or individual must file an application with the United States

A trademark is a legal protection given to any word, name, symbol, or design that is used in commerce to identify the product of one manufacturer from another.

What is a Trademark Statement of use?
A Statement of Use (SOU) is one of the official forms used by the United States Patent and Trademark Office. It can only be filed once a business has started to use a trademark. This means you can't register a trademark just to tie it up; you need to use it in commerce. Ways to prove a trademark's use include displaying it on products, packaging, or other marketing tools.
If you filed your trademark on the basis of intent to use, you must file a Statement of Use to show you are using it to sell goods and/or services. If you aren't ready to file the SOU, you need to file a Request for Extension of Time to File a Statement of Use within six months of when your
