A service mark is defined as any word, name, symbol, or device, or any combination thereof, other than a trade name in its entirety, adopted and used by a person in the sale or advertising of services to identify their services and distinguish them from similar services of others.
The word trademark can refer to both trademarks and service marks. A trademark is used for goods, while a service mark is used 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.
To register a service mark, use the trademark process, designating the mark as a service mark for services. To show the use of the service mark, the USPTO says, use specimens such as "signs, photographs, brochures or advertisements that show the mark used in the sale or advertising of the services."
A trademark can be any word, phrase, symbol, design, or a combination of these things that identifies your goods or services. It's how customers recognize you in the marketplace and distinguish you from your competitors. The word trademark can refer to both trademarks and service marks.
