Is using trademark symbols illegal?

When you do not actually own that trademark?

Example "Sugar Baby™" which upon investigation is not registered to whom is posting it but is a trademark of a plant company selling live ornamental plants..

What?? You mean I actually have to REGISTER my trademark? Damn. There goes, "Big Bully Queen Bee of Arkansas™." And I was so looking forward to utilizing that moniker in my 2013 ad campaign.

You really know how to ruin a girls day, Blad.
