In the US using ™ means it is not registered:

You can use the symbols TM for trademark or SM for service mark to indicate that you claims rights to the marks without having federal registration. However, use of the TM and SM symbols may be governed by different local, state, or foreign laws. The federal registration symbol ® can only be used after the mark is actually registered in the USPTO. Even though an application is pending, the registration symbol ® may not be used before the mark has actually become registered.
