What do the "T" and "R" beside the trademark mean?
"R" is the abbreviation of "register" in English, which means "registration" in Chinese. Circle R is the mark of "registered trademark", which means that the trademark has applied for registration in the State Trademark Office, and has been approved by the Trademark Office to obtain a trademark certificate and become a registered trademark. 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. Meaning: It is a sign of a legally registered trademark. As long as it is marked on the trademark, it means that the trademark has been approved and registered in the Trademark Office and is a registered trademark. A trademark registered without approval shall not be marked on the trademark, otherwise it will constitute an act of counterfeiting a registered trademark.

"TM" is the abbreviation of English trademark, including both registered trademark R and unregistered trademark that has not been directly approved and registered by China Trademark Office. 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.

The difference between R trademark and TM trademark is as follows:

1, r trademark is different from TM trademark. R trademark circle r, TM trademark with the letter TM

2. The legal effects of R trademark and TM trademark are different. R trademark is strictly protected by law and belongs to registered trademark; Trademark identification does not protect trademarks.

3.R trademark is exclusive, and no one or organization can use it at will except the trademark owner.
