The tm marking signifies that the owner of the brand claims the valuable trademark rights, but has not obtained a federal registration. Federal registration is optional in the USA, Canada, UK and a few other countries.
Furthermore, in the USA, you could register a trademark in one or more states and continue to use tm to signify your claim to the trademark rights under state and federal law.

It signifies that the owner is claiming rights to the mark, even if it is not registered with the trademark office. The symbol is a way to provide notice to others that the mark is being used in a trademark capacity.
