What's the difference between R trademark and TM trademark?
The difference between r trademark and TM trademark is white:

1, registration expression

TM stands for trademark du symbol, and zhi stands for words, graphics or symbols marked with TM as trademarks, but dao is not necessarily registered (unregistered ones are not protected by law). And r is the abbreviation of REGISTER, which means registered trademark when used in trademarks.

2. Characteristic significance

R is the abbreviation of REGISTER, which means registered trademark when used in trademark. Circle R is the mark of "registered trademark", which means that the trademark has been registered in the State Trademark Office and has been approved by the Trademark Office to become a registered trademark.

Trademarks on trademarks have special meanings. Trademark identification does not protect trademarks. Unlike R, TM is the abbreviation of trademark, which includes both registered trademark R and direct use of unregistered trademarks without the approval of the Trademark Office.

3. Legal protection

R trademark has the characteristics of exclusiveness, exclusiveness and uniqueness, belongs to the owner of registered trademark and is protected by law. Without the permission or authorization of the registered trademark owner, no enterprise or individual may use it, otherwise it will bear tort liability.

The trademark marked TM can play a certain protective role, but if the trademark is not approved and registered by the Trademark Office, its legal protection is not strong, and only when the unregistered trademark reaches a certain popularity can it obtain legal protection to a certain extent.
