And TM" is commonly seen in foreign trademarks. It is the abbreviation of the English "trade mark". The Chinese meaning of "trade mark" is "commercial mark", so "TM" means "trademark". It Its function is to tell people that the graphic or text marked on it is a trademark of this product or service, not a name or an advertisement. Now you know the difference between TM and R. "TM" is a trademark logo, and "R" is a trademark. Registered trademarks and logos have different levels of legal protection. When a trademark has not become a registered trademark, marking it with the "TM" mark tells the public that this graphic or text is a "trademark" for goods or services. It is neither a name nor an advertisement, so as to prevent the graphics or text marked on it from flowing into the public domain, and cannot apply to become a registered trademark and enjoy exclusive rights; at the same time, the "TM" mark can also be used as a mark to use the graphics or text. Words serve as proof of a trademark. When applying for a registered trademark, you have the right to use it first. When the trademark becomes a registered trademark, you can mark the "R" or "note" registration mark in the upper right corner or lower right corner, or directly indicate "." "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 on the Implementation of the Trademark Law of the People's Republic of China". Another point that should be noted is that when applying for trademark registration, After obtaining the "Notice of Acceptance" issued by the National Trademark Office, and before the "Trademark Registration Certificate", you are still not allowed to mark the trademark with a registration mark, because the "Notice of Acceptance" issued by the National Trademark Office is only the beginning of the trademark registration process. This "Notice of Acceptance" only indicates that the Trademark Office has accepted the trademark registration application, but does not indicate whether the application has been approved. In fact, a considerable number of trademark registration applications have been accepted by the Trademark Office, but have been rejected after review. In the end, the registration failed. Therefore, it is recommended to mark "TM" instead of "R" during this period. Otherwise, it will constitute an illegal act of counterfeiting a registered trademark and will be punished with a penalty of less than 20% of the illegal business revenue or less than 2 times of the illegal profit.
