Can TM status trademarks apply to settle in Tmall?

Normal is not allowed. TM trademark only shows that this trademark has been accepted.

after the one-year publicity period, it is necessary to reapply, so Tmall does not support TM to open a Tmall store in order to avoid this situation.

If you spend money to enter the Tmall store in time, if you renew your contract later, your qualifications will be cancelled. So now Tmall is an invitation system, and you can't enter if you recommend yourself.

TM means that the trademark has been applied to the State Trademark Office, and the State Trademark Office has also issued a Notice of Acceptance, which can prevent others from filing repeated applications, and also means that the existing trademark holders have the priority to use it.

according to tmall's regulations, only those categories that require the trademark to be in the status of "registration application accepted (i.e." TM "trademark) and the registration application time is over six months are required to have the trademark status of R mark now.

not only that, the registered R-mark also requires that it must be registered for two years or more and has not been transferred in the latest year. For some categories that did not require trademarks, such as catering, books, audio and video, the new rules require that the trademarks be in the state of "registration application acceptance" (that is, "TM" trademarks) after the registration application time has reached six months.

according to article 6 of the trademark law, goods that must use registered trademarks according to laws and administrative regulations must apply for trademark registration, and those that have not been approved for registration may not be sold in the market. Article 9 A trademark applied for registration shall have distinctive features and be easy to identify, and shall not conflict with the legal rights previously obtained by others. Trademark registrants have the right to indicate "registered trademarks" or registration marks.
