English term or phrase: (TM)
Hola,

si se habla de una marca XXX(TM), ¿en español (de España) se deja ese símbolo (TM) o se pone (R) de registrado? ¿Se puede dejar (TM) tal cual?

Muchas gracias.

TM
Explanation:
Quizá esto no se aplique a España, pero en mi opinión si el texto se refiere a una marca estadounidense que lleva TM, yo dejaría TM. TM y R no son lo mismo, por lo menos en EE.UU. TM es una marca comercial no registrada, mientras que R es una marca registrada.

Aquí va una buena explicación que encontré:
Although there is no difference in the rights granted to owners of trademarks versus service marks, the type-distinction is made in the application for registration and is carried through all records of the mark to the registration, itself. In providing public notice of use as a trademark or service mark, unregistered marks should carry the ™ symbol when they are used as trademarks and the SM symbol when used as service marks. All U.S. registered marks carry the ® symbol

Otra explicación que encontré en http://www.chinahk-ip.com/TMFAQ_hk.htm: TM stands for \"trademark\". SM stands for \"service mark\". Anyone who claims rights in a registered or unregistered mark may use the TM or SM symbol as applicable. However, such claim may or may not be valid. The R symbol may only be used when the mark has been registered. Falsely representing a mark as registered subjects the offender to a fine.

Explanation:
Las expresiones Trademark y registered trademark se suelen traducir de forma distinta porque es habitual que aparezcan juntas:
- trademark = marca comercial (TM)
- registered trademark = marca (comercial) registrada (R)

Yo dejaría la designación que aparezca junto al término tal cual está en inglés.

Puedes juzgar por ti misma en la referencia que te incluyo.
Saludos.
