What do the tm and r markers mean?

Careful people will find that there are often tm and r marks on the products. The difference between them is actually very simple. In our GJ, TM means that the trademark has been applied to the GJ Trademark Office, and the GJ Trademark Office has also issued a "Notice of Acceptance" and entered the opposition period. This can prevent others from filing repeated applications. It also means that Existing trademark holders have priority right to use.

The circle r is the mark of a registered trademark, which means that the trademark has been applied for registration at the GJ Trademark Office and has been reviewed and approved by the Trademark Office to become a registered trademark. The R in the circle is the first letter of English register. In other words, tm's trademark has not been fully registered, so it is not protected by law for the time being, while r's trademark is protected by law. If used without authorization, legal liability will be pursued. A small logo contains a lot of content, as are many small details in life.
