Why does a food package have tm and r appear on it?

TM means that the trademark is applying for registration, but it is not yet a registered trademark. R means that the trademark is already a registered trademark. A manufacturing company can apply to register many trademarks, but trademark registration generally takes one and a half to two years. If it has been registered, it can be marked with R. If it has not been registered, it can only be marked with TM.

If there are both TM and R on a package, it means that the manufacturer has applied for two trademarks. The trademark marked R is already a registered trademark, while the one marked TM is a trademark under application and is not yet a registered trademark. .
