In China, a trademark is the brand of a product and is a sort of identification mark that is added to identify products and services. A trademark can be made up of various characters, including; letters, numbers, figures, color combinations, three-dimensional signs, or a combination of all the above. It is important to note that a China trademark registration that’s taken in mainland China is only valid in mainland China. Hong Kong trademark registration and mainland areas are roughly the same. That being said, they can be divided into three forms: text (Chinese / English), graphics and composition.
What's the difference between TM and R?
“™” is the two acronyms of the English trademark, and also refers to the trademark. But this has no legal meaning and legal effect. Normally, a not registered trademark or a registered trademark can be used. Registered trademarks can also be used. A trademark is used to in a sense, “mark” a particular product that’s being provided by a company so that no individual or company copies it. In some trademark cases, it can be used as evidence of a trademark. It should be noted here that with Taobao, Tmall and other online platforms, the trademark is divided into the ‘R’ mark and ‘TM’ mark respectively, which refers to the registered trademark and trademark still in the process of application.
"®" means a registered trademark. "Trademark law" clearly stipulates that "trademark registrant has the right to indicate" registered trademark "or registration mark" mark "®". If there is no registered trademark, then it belongs to a counterfeit registered trademark, which under Chinese law, could lead to trademark infringement.
