The "Drug Registration Approval" is a statutory document issued by the State Food and Drug Administration to approve a drug manufacturer to produce the product and issue an "approval number". In layman's terms, it is the "birth certificate" of the drug, which is also commonly referred to as the "production approval document". If the policy permits, multiple pharmaceutical companies may apply for registration of the same drug. After passing the national review, it will be approved for production by multiple pharmaceutical companies. Therefore, each pharmaceutical factory will have a "Drug Registration Approval" for the drug, but the approval number is different. After the company gets this approval, it can start production.

Trademarks are issued by the Trademark Office and are signs that distinguish the source of goods and services. Taking medicines as an example, the production license of a medicine may be granted to many companies. In order to distinguish themselves, different companies will apply for corresponding trademarks for their products to show their distinction. This is also stipulated by national regulations. When an enterprise obtains the "Drug Registration Approval", it is equivalent to obtaining a production license, but if it does not obtain a trademark, the produced drugs cannot enter the market. This is a popular difference between the two.

The state has set up many audits to standardize the operating order of the market and create a more healthy and stable market environment. Relevant practitioners must apply for the certificates required for production operations in accordance with regulations, and participate in market competition fairly and reasonably.
