A Trademark is any kind of mark that a business is using in the business of selling things. There’s also Servicemark, which is roughly the same as a Trademark but for a service.
A Registered Trademark is a trademark that has been registered with, in the USA at least, the US Patent and Trademark Office, which has a fee associated with it, it helps make the trademark more enforceable. And means they can use the ® on their trademark instead of just ™
Anyone can essentially make a Trademark if they use it in business and defend it.
