Why should the trademark be marked with the R symbol?

The main reason is to protect the rights and interests of registered trademarks. When the exclusive right to use a trademark is infringed, the court will judge whether the trademark is a registered trademark according to whether there is an R mark on the trademark. If you forget to add the R logo and the trademark has been infringed, the court will still handle it lightly.

Moreover, if your registered trademark is not marked with the R mark, even if your exclusive right is infringed by others, when you claim compensation from the infringer, the infringer may say that you have no idea whether your trademark is a registered trademark or not, and put forward reasons for refusing to compensate for economic losses.

Therefore, the trademark registration applicant should not only apply for a trademark in accordance with the trademark registration procedures, but also use the trademark correctly after the successful trademark registration to better protect the trademark rights and interests.
