What is the difference between a trademark mark and a TM?

Hello! Please describe your problem in detail.

Trademark logo refers to the trademark carrier used on goods, which is independent of the material expression of the trademark on the marked goods. Such as bottle stickers on alcohol products; signs on bicycles; webbing on clothing, etc.

Order No. 15 of the State Administration for Industry and Commerce, "Measures for the Administration of Trademark Printing" (Excerpt)

Article 15, Paragraph 2

The provisions of these Measures "Trademark logo" refers to the tangible carrier with a trademark that enters the circulation field together with the goods, including registered trademark logos and unregistered trademark logos.

"TM" is commonly seen in foreign trademarks. It is the abbreviation of the English "trade mark". The Chinese meaning of "trade mark" is "commercial mark", so "TM" means "trademark". It The function of "R" is to tell people that the graphic or text marked on it is the trademark of this product or service, but it is still in the acceptance period and is not protected by law; and "R" is the abbreviation of "register" in English. The Chinese meaning is "registered". The marking of goods or services with this mark tells people that the graphics or words marked on it are not only trademarks, but also registered trademarks, which are protected by national laws. Without authorization, any other individual or organization No unauthorized use is allowed.

"TM" is a trademark and "R" is a registered trademark. The two have different levels of legal protection.
