When a trademark becomes a registered trademark, it can be marked with a registration mark of "R" or "Note" in the upper right corner or the lower right corner, or it can be directly marked as "registered trademark". Remember that the registration mark must be placed in the upper right corner or lower right corner of the trademark, which is stipulated in the Regulations for the Implementation of the Trademark Law of the People's Republic of China. Another point to note is that after applying for trademark registration and obtaining the Notice of Acceptance issued by the State Trademark Office, it is still not allowed to mark the registration mark on the trademark before the Trademark Registration Certificate, because the Notice of Acceptance issued by the State Trademark Office is only the beginning of the trademark registration procedure. This Notice of Acceptance only indicates that the Trademark Office has accepted the application for trademark registration, but does not indicate whether the application is approved. In fact, although a considerable number of trademark registration applications have been accepted by the Trademark Office, they have been rejected after examination and finally failed to register successfully. Therefore, it is suggested to mark "TM" instead of "R" during this period, otherwise it will constitute an illegal act of impersonating a registered trademark, and a fine of less than 2% of the illegal business amount or less than 2 times of the illegal profit will be imposed.

in China, TM on a trademark also has its special meaning. In fact, TM logo does not protect the trademark. It is different from R. TM means that the trademark has been applied to the State Trademark Office, and the State Trademark Office has issued a Notice of Acceptance, which has entered an objection period. This can prevent others from filing repeated applications, and also means that existing trademark holders have priority to use it.

circled r is the mark of "registered trademark", which means that the trademark has been applied for registration in the State Trademark Office and passed the examination by the Trademark Office, and has become a registered trademark.

the r in the circle is the initial letter of English register registration. A registered trademark has the characteristics of exclusiveness, exclusiveness and uniqueness. It belongs to the owner of the registered trademark and is protected by law. No enterprise or individual may use it without the permission or authorization of the owner of the registered trademark, otherwise it will bear the tort liability.

TM means trademark symbol, that is, words, graphics or symbols marked with TM are trademarks, but they may not be registered (unregistered ones are not protected by law). TM is the abbreviation of English trademark.
