1. Product names are popular, owned by the public, and can be used by everyone; while trademarks are specific and exclusive.

2. The common name of goods is used to distinguish different types of goods, and the specific name of goods is used to distinguish specific goods and specific objects of the same type of goods; while trademarks are also used to distinguish goods. , but it is mainly used to distinguish producers and sellers of different commodities.

3.
