Port communicationIntroduction to Trademark Basics，To distinguish between TM trademark and R trademark, the definition of trademark is as follows:，Marks used to distinguish other services and goods。About the composition of trademarks，my country’s Trademark Law stipulates："Any person capable of converting a natural person、A sign that distinguishes the goods of a legal person or other organization from those of others，include text、graphics、letter、number、3D logo、Color combinations and sounds etc.，and a combination of the above elements，Can be registered as a trademark。
Because the trademark itself can be divided into registered and unregistered，So there is the difference between the TM trademark and the R mark.，The trademark of the TM mark has not been registered or a registration application has been submitted and is under review.，The R mark has been registered，Trademarks that can be found in the Trademark Office. Registered R trademarks are protected by the Trademark Law.。Many people will think，Since it is the R trademark that is protected by law，So what’s the point of using the TM logo on your own products or services?
Since there is no registration，Why take it out and use it? The thing is like this，When companies generally use the TM trademark，All of them have already applied for this trademark.，But trademark registration takes too long，Usually more than one year，so，Many companies use the TM logo，Indicate that you have registered，Tell others not to register again。
Trademark registration has priority application rights，The one who applies first will be registered first，Other similar or identical items (under the same category) will be rejected，so，It is recommended that the sooner you register your trademark, the better.。Since it’s first come first served，So can I use the trademark R logo first?
Trademarks that cannot use the R logo must be registered trademarks，Even if your TM trademark becomes an R trademark in a few months,，Nor can it be marked with R first.，Only use TM，Otherwise, it is considered as fraudulent use of a registered trademark and violates the trademark law.。
