As a blogger, I've come across the ™ symbol many times and wondered what it actually means. Turns out, ™ stands for "trademark" and is used to protect a brand's unique logo, name, or design. This symbol signifies that a company has claimed ownership of a particular element and is using it as a source identifier for their products or services. Although it doesn't guarantee legal protection like a registered trademark, it does serve as a public notice of a company's claim. So, whenever you see that little ™, you know that someone is staking their claim on that branding element!
