The difference between ordinary trademarks and r-marks 1. Ordinary trademarks refer to the vast majority of trademarks that do not receive special legal protection when used under normal circumstances. It is a trademark corresponding to a well-known trademark. It is used by ordinary companies. 2. The R mark is a registered trademark. We need to know that the trademark registration cycle is one and a half years. When the application is started but the official trademark certificate has not been issued, the company is not allowed to mark the R mark on the products. On the contrary, during this period, if the company wants to use the trademark , the TM mark must be affixed to indicate that the trademark has been submitted for approval but has not yet been issued a certificate, but it can still be used. It's just that during this period, the company doesn't really have trademark rights. Characteristics of ordinary trademarks 1. An ordinary trademark indicates that the goods or services come from a certain operator. 2. Applicants for registration of ordinary trademarks only need to be operators registered in accordance with the law. 3. For ordinary trademarks, applications only need to be submitted in accordance with the provisions of the Trademark Law and Detailed Rules. 4.
