A trademark or trade mark[1] is a distinctive sign or indicator of some kind which is used by an individual, business organization or other legal entity to uniquely identify the source of its products and/or services to consumers, and to distinguish its products or services from those of other entities. A trademark is a type of intellectual property, and typically comprises a name, word, phrase, logo, symbol, design, image, or a combination of these elements. There is also a range of non-conventional trademarks comprising marks which do not fall into these standard categories.
The owner of a registered trademark may commence legal proceedings for trademark infringement to prevent unauthorised use of that trademark. However, registration is not required. The owner of a common law trademark may also file suit, but an unregistered mark may be protectable only within the geographical area within which it has been used or in geographical areas into which it may be reasonably expected to expand.
The term trademark is also used informally to refer to any distinguishing attribute by which an individual is readily identified, particularly the well known characteristics of celebrities. Such trademarks can be a style of haircut (Elvis Presley's distinctive ducktail), articles of clothing or accessories (Liberace's flamboyant costumes and jewelry, Elton John's oversized sunglasses, Michael Jackson's sparkly glove), facial hair (Groucho Marx's mustache), or even breast size (Dolly Parton and Pamela Anderson).
When a trademark is used in relation to services rather than products, it may sometimes be called a service mark, particularly in the United States.

That is the logo that shows that a company owns the registered trademark for the name or product that they are using. It also means that their names or products cannot be used for advertising etc. without the companies permission.

It stands for registered trademark.
You will have to consult with the trademark registering people. Some are registered locally, some nationally, some internationally.

registered trademark. depends on if they have registered it internationally or not. if they haven't in a country, then try to sell their product there, they can make a claim against existing users and make them stop, even if the existing user has been around for years. McDonalds do it all the time, even for names like McSushi for a Japanes restaurant where the owners name was Mcdonald ! they forced them to change.

It means that companies name and logo are registered trademarks, and if somebody else uses them, they'll get sued. I think trademarks are international, but I'm not exactly sure.

i think it stands for registered trademark so anything that has that is a registered trademark and no one can use it without permission of the company
