Article 9 of the "Trademark Law" stipulates: When using a registered trademark, the trademark registrant has the right to indicate "registered trademark" or registered mark. The four words "registered trademark" are often used in the description of graphic trademarks or combination trademarks. In this case, the four words can be placed below the trademark, or they can be placed separately on both sides of the trademark, that is, the word "registered" is written on one side and the other side. Write the word "trademark". In this way, when people see the four words, they will know that the trademark is a registered trademark. The registered mark is suitable for both word trademarks and graphic trademarks. When used, it is usually placed in the upper right corner or lower right corner of the trademark. Due to the simplicity of the registration mark. Therefore, it is most appropriate to use it on a word trademark, especially when the word trademark appears in the middle of descriptive text. The use of a registered mark can make people clearly identify the trademark. It not only shows that the trademark is a registered trademark and is protected by law, but also helps prevent the public from mistaking the trademark for a trademark name.
