With the deepening of people's understanding of intellectual property rights, more and more people know the trademark intellectual property rights, patent intellectual property rights, etc., but there will still be a trademark belongs to the patent? This concept of cognitive misunderstanding. Trademarks belong to the patent? Trademarks and patents are the same? Today, I will tell you about trademarks and patents, so that we have a clear understanding. Trademarks belong to the patent first of all, trademarks do not belong to the patent, trademarks and patents are two kinds of intellectual property rights of the nature of the great difference. Trademarks and patents belong to the same category of intellectual property rights, are intangible assets and soft power of the embodiment of the enterprise, but also the same can realize the protection of intellectual property rights of enterprises, the function of wealth creation, can also be operated. Trademark is a mark used to distinguish the brand or service of an operator from the goods or services of other operators. China's Trademark Law provides that trademarks approved for registration by the Trademark Office, including commodity trademarks, service marks and collective marks, certification marks, trademark registrants enjoy the exclusive right to use trademarks and are protected by law. Patent, on the other hand, refers to the invention and creation protected by the patent law, i.e., patented technology, which is the proprietary technology recognized by the state and legally protected on the basis of public disclosure. Patent refers to the patent right enjoyed by the patentee, that is, the state according to law in a certain period of time to grant the patentee or its rights successor exclusive use of its invention and creation of the right since the trademark does not belong to the patent, then let's look at the difference between the two. Trademarks actually focus on use, because it is just a sign to distinguish other goods and services. A patent, on the other hand, focuses on exclusivity and is more capable of realizing the possibility of market capture. Strictly speaking, if others have not infringed on your trademark rights, is not necessary to rely on the trademark means to combat competitors (in addition to be able to branding and product quality and rivals to compete and compare, but not the function of the trademark itself), however, the patent can be. If a company only applied for a trademark, but no relevant patents for protection, then this enterprise to do the protection of intellectual property rights is still very junior. Others can still use the patent to defeat you, do not say that you produce products without technical content, there is a kind of patent right called design patent, its main purpose is to protect the design. Want to complete the protection of intellectual property rights, not only in a field on the registration or application, to carry out the overall protection of intellectual property rights, the development of relevant strategies.
