R in the circle is the initial letter of English register registration. A registered trademark has the characteristics of exclusiveness, exclusiveness and uniqueness. It belongs to the owner of the registered trademark and is protected by law. No enterprise or individual may use it without the permission or authorization of the owner of the registered trademark, otherwise it will bear the tort liability. Using TM means trademark symbol, that is, the words, graphics or symbols marked with TM are trademarks, but they are not necessarily registered (unregistered ones are not protected by law).
