Trademark Marking Symbols (TM / ®):
™ is used to claim trademark rights, whether registered or not.

Caution Notice:
An optional but effective tactic in India—publishing a warning in relevant media that your mark is registered. Courts accept this as evidence, and it prevents infringers from claiming ignorance.

A legal demand sent to someone infringing your mark, instructing them to stop unauthorized use, often used before escalating to litigation.
