What do TM and R on the package mean? Chinese means "registration".

Without authorization, no other individual or organization may use it without authorization. TM is the abbreviation of English trade mark, which means "business mark" in Chinese, so TM means "trademark". Its function is to tell people that the graphics or words it marks are trademarks of this commodity or service, not names or advertisements. Now you know the difference between TM and R. "TM" is a trademark and "R" is a registered trademark. Their legal protection is different. Mark "TM" when the trademark has not been registered as a trademark in Dongguan, in order to tell the public that this figure or text is used as a "trademark" of goods or services, not as a name or advertisement, so as to prevent the marked figure or text from flowing into the public domain and being unable to apply for trademark registration and enjoying exclusive rights; At the same time, marking "TM" can also be used as proof that the graphic or text is used as a trademark. When applying for registration of a trademark, it enjoys the prior right to use it. When a trademark becomes a registered trademark, it can be marked with "R" or "Note" in the upper right corner or the lower right corner, or it can be directly marked as "registered trademark". Remember that a registered trademark must be placed in the upper right corner or the lower right corner of the trademark, which is stipulated in the Regulations for the Implementation of the Trademark Law of People's Republic of China (PRC). It should also be noted that after applying for trademark registration and obtaining the Notice of Acceptance issued by the State Trademark Office, it is still not allowed to mark the registration mark on the trademark before the Trademark Registration Certificate, because the Notice of Acceptance issued by the State Trademark Office is only the beginning of the trademark registration procedure. This acceptance notice only indicates that the Trademark Office has accepted the application for trademark registration, but does not indicate whether the application is approved. In fact, although the Trademark Office has accepted a considerable number of trademark registration applications, they have all been rejected after examination and finally failed to register successfully. Therefore, it is suggested to mark "TM" instead of "R" during this period, otherwise it will constitute an illegal act of counterfeiting registered trademarks, and a fine of less than 20% of illegal business volume or less than 2 times of illegal profits will be imposed.
