Legal analysis: Yes. TM is the abbreviation of trademark in English. Legally speaking, marking TM during trademark use has no legal meaning or effect. The purpose of marking TM is to disclose to the outside world that the use of this mark is "used as a trademark." Therefore, it is okay to use TM in a registered trademark, a trademark under application (only an application has not been registered), or a trademark that has not been applied for. Therefore, the use of TM does not have the same legal effect as the use of R on a trademark, because R The mark on the trademark indicates that it is a registered trademark.
