WhAt Do thosE sYMBols MEAn?Essentially the symbols all refer to all the same basic question:
“��What�is�the�legal�status�of�ownership��of�a�brand,�service�or�product?”
Each of those symbols answers to that question.

if you want to claim the rights of a name or logo, use the tM (trademark) or sM (service mark).it gives notice to the public that the rights are the claimed.
the use of the tM or sM trademark symbol is not a legally enforceable trademark*.
*�That�makes�it�different�to�the�registered�trademark�which��is�legally�protected.

Used to provide notice that the preceding mark is a trademark or service mark that has been registered with a national trademark office*.*�In�some�countries,�including�China,�it�is�against�the�law�to�use�the�
registered�trademark�symbol�for�a�mark�that�is�not�officially�registered�in�any�country.
in simple words, it screams: get the f**k away from my mark, because i will sue anyone who use my mark without permission.

BonUs: CopYlEFt AnD CrEAtiVE CoMMons (1)these two are not right claiming, but right sharing.
In�short:� Copyleft�=�waive�all�rights�� Creative�Commons�=�some�rights
Why? Due to the growing demand for high speed inovations and sharing of information, copyrights are not serving mankind but holding it back.the answer: open soure and crowed source!

thE CopYlEFt sYMBol
Copyleft* is a play on the word copyright.
Copyleft is a general method for making a work free of rights, and requiring all modified and extended versions of the work to be free as well.
Copyleft is mostly used in relation to software.
*Take�notice�that�the�symbol�has�no�legal�meaning.
