Before you do anything, get permission in writing that you can, indeed, modify the existing logo ( if you have not already ).  "TM" stands for trademark.  "R" stands for registered trade mark.  Technically, you must be registered with the U.S. Copyright Office in order to use the "R" designation.  So, get that in writing, too.  Also, you should be working with the original artwork ( should be a vector file with "live" text ).  With that, it should be a snap to make the necessary revision.

If it is  still live text it is easy, but I guess it is outlined type which take a little more work.

Find the font (or a similar font) distort it and give it the right stroke and color.

    Thanks Ton for your response. I am wondering about the steps; how to find the font and distort, give the right stroke and color? That would great if you could point me in that direction. Ariz

    Straighten the text, and de-slope it (shear), then save as a jpg and feed it through a font recognition page like What The Font https://www.myfonts.com/WhatTheFont/ or What Font https://www.whatfontis.com/ - looks like a pretty standard typeface - Helvetica-ish...

      Not sure what you are asking. ™ and ® symbols are part of most fonts these days. You simply can type them out. Otherwise it's easy enough to fake them using conventional type.

        Thanks Mylenium for your response. My challenge in the logo is removing TM that isn't embedded as text to replace with ®the logo. How can I work around that?

        Could you post what exactly you have in Illustrator? This would be useful so we can see your starting point.

        Can you post a screenshot with it selected and the Layers panel visible?
