1. It can be used, but it must be marked with TM because you do not really enjoy the trademark rights at this time and cannot circle R; 2. "TM" is common in foreign trademarks, and it is the English "trade mark" The abbreviation of "trade mark" in Chinese means "commercial mark", so "TM" means "trademark". Its function is to tell people that the graphic or text it marks is the trademark of this product or service, not The name is not an advertisement. "R" is the abbreviation of "register" in English. "register" means "registration" in Chinese. When a product or service is marked with this mark, it tells people that the graphic or text marked on it is not only a trademark. , and it is also a registered trademark and is protected by national laws. No other individual or organization can use it without authorization. Now you know the difference between TM and R. "TM" is a trademark symbol and "R" is a registered trademark symbol. , the two have different levels of legal protection. When a trademark has not become a registered trademark, marking the "TM" mark will tell the public that this graphic or text is used as a "trademark" for goods or services. It is neither a name nor an advertisement. This can prevent the graphics or words marked on it from flowing into the public domain. It cannot apply to become a registered trademark and enjoy exclusive rights. At the same time, it is marked with a "TM" mark and can also be used as 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 it as a "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 to note is that when applying for trademark registration, you must obtain a national trademark. After the "Notice of Acceptance" issued by the National Trademark Office and before the "Trademark Registration Certificate", the registration mark is still not allowed to be marked on the trademark, because the "Notice of Acceptance" issued by the National Trademark Office is only the beginning of the trademark registration process. The Notice 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 were rejected after review and ultimately failed. The registration is successful. 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 a fine of less than 20% of the illegal business volume or less than 2 times of the illegal profit will be imposed.
