R is the abbreviation of REGISTER, which means registered trademark when used in trademarks. The circle R represents the "registered trademark" mark, which means that the trademark has been applied for registration at the National Trademark Office and has been reviewed and approved by the Trademark Office to become a registered trademark.

TM is the abbreviation of TradeMark, which includes both the registered trademark R and the direct use of unregistered trademarks that have not been approved by the Trademark Office. Therefore, the difference between these two packaging boxes is that one is produced after the trademark is registered, and the other is produced when the trademark is not approved for registration.

Trademark annotation TM can play a certain protective role. However, if the trademark has not been approved and registered by the Trademark Office, it will not be protected by law. This is only when the unregistered trademark reaches a certain level of popularity. Only then can you obtain legal protection to a certain extent.

Extended information

1. The differences between the R trademark and the TM trademark are as follows:

1. The R trademark and the TM trademark have different indication marks. The R trademark is represented by a circle R, and the TM trademark is represented by the letters TM.

2. The R trademark and the TM trademark have different legal effects. The R trademark is strictly protected by law and is a registered trademark. Since the TM trademark has not been approved, legal protection is not strong.

3. The R trademark and the TM trademark have different characteristics. The R trademark is exclusive and cannot be used by any other person or organization except the trademark owner. Due to its unapproved status, the TM trademark is not exclusive.

2. Applicability of R and TM:

R is applicable to trademarks that have been successfully registered (obtained a trademark registration certificate) in my country. After obtaining the trademark registration certificate, you can add R and use it in publicity.

"TM" does not have clear legal provisions in our country. Generally, it is customary in the industry to refer to a trademark that has been accepted by the Trademark Office (obtained an acceptance notice) but has not yet been officially registered. When using a brand, adding TM can be used as evidence to prove that the word or logo is consciously used as a trademark in the event of a trademark dispute later.
