TM trademark can be used without infringement. "tm" is the abbreviation of English trademark. There is no clear provision on "TM" in China's trademark laws, nor does it mention that companies are allowed to use the trademark in the application status with the word "tm" marked on it after receiving the trademark acceptance notice. It can be seen that if you use a trademark without authorization in this situation, if it involves infringement of other people's trademark rights, you will also be liable for infringement according to law.
First, let’s look at “R” and “Note”. It is a legally registered trademark mark in this country. "R" is the first letter of register in English, which means registration. "Note" is the abbreviation of "Registration" and has the same meaning as "R". It indicates that the trademark has been applied for registration at the National Trademark Office and has been reviewed and approved by the Trademark Office. It has obtained the trademark registration certificate and has become a registered trademark. Registered trademarks have the characteristics of exclusivity, exclusivity, and uniqueness. It is exclusively owned by the owner of the registered trademark and protected by law. No enterprise or individual may use the registered trademark without permission or authorization; otherwise, it will bear corresponding infringement liability.
