I do, however, agree with you on your explanation of the use of TM and R, respectively.

Trademark and Copyright laws can get very confusing. the basic rule of thumb, is that you would trademark your company name, logo, and branding efforts, and some of those images may qualify for copyright protection, as copyrights are used to protect “original works of authorship.” or, your t-shirt design, as Johnny stated.

for more information on trademark law visit USPTO

for more information on copyright law visit the US Copyright Office

I'm sure both sites will lead you to the proper place to discuss Canadian policies.
