"r" is the abbreviation of English "register", which means "registration" in Chinese. The circle R is the mark of "registered trademark", which means that the trademark has been applied for registration in the State Trademark Office and has been examined and approved by the Trademark Office, and the trademark certificate has been obtained to become a registered trademark. R trademark has the characteristics of exclusiveness, exclusiveness and uniqueness, which 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. Meaning: It is the mark of legal registered trademark. As long as it is marked on the trademark, it shows that the trademark has been approved and registered in the Trademark Office, and it is a registered trademark. A trademark that has not been approved for registration shall not be marked on the trademark, otherwise it will constitute an act of impersonating a registered trademark.
"TM" is the abbreviation of English TradeMark, which includes both the registered trademark R and the unregistered trademark directly registered without the approval of China Trademark Office. Trademark marked TM can play a certain protective role, but if the trademark is not approved and registered by the Trademark Office, its legal protection is not strong, and only when the unregistered trademark reaches a certain popularity can it obtain legal protection to a certain extent.
