TM is the abbreviation of English trademark, which means trademark in English. In China, due to the long time for trademark application in China, it usually took about 2 years before 2007, but now the time for trademark registration has been shortened to about one year. Many applicants are unwilling to wait until registration is successful before using it. Therefore, there is a common practice in China. After applying for a trademark, the General Administration of Trademark issues a "Notice of Acceptance of Trademark Registration" and puts TM next to it when using it. After the registration is successful, circle R. Therefore, in China, TM means a trademark that has been applied for and accepted but is still under review, and R means a trademark that has been successfully registered. R is a registered trademark, the abbreviation of English Register.
