Divided into three categories, 1 patent, 2 trademark, and 3 copyright

1. Patent; patent is a part of intellectual property and is an intangible property with different characteristics from other properties. Features.

(1) Exclusivity. Exclusivity is also called exclusivity or exclusivity. It means that only the patentee can enjoy the right to manufacture, use and sell the same invention within a certain area within a certain period of time. No one else can manufacture, use or sell it without permission, otherwise it will be an infringement.

(2) Regionality. Regionality means that the patent right is a right with regional scope restrictions, and it is only valid within the legal jurisdiction. Except in some cases, in accordance with international conventions for the protection of intellectual property rights, and when individual countries recognize the validity of patent rights approved by another country, the country in which a technical invention applies for a patent will be granted patent rights, and only in the country where the patent is granted. It is valid within the scope of the Agreement, but is not legally binding on other countries, and other countries do not assume any protection obligations. However, the same invention can be patented in two or more countries at the same time. Once approved, the invention can obtain legal protection in all application countries.

(3) Temporality. Temporality means that a patent is only valid within the period specified by law. After the effective protection period of the patent right expires, the patent right enjoyed by the patentee is automatically lost and generally cannot be renewed. When the protection period expires, the invention becomes a public asset and others can freely use the invention to create products. The length of time a patent is protected by law is stipulated by the patent law of the relevant country or relevant international conventions. Currently, patent laws around the world have different provisions on the protection period of patents. (Intellectual Property Agreement) Article 33 stipulates that a patent’s “protection shall be valid for a period of not less than the end of the twentieth year from the date of filing of the application.”

(4) Implementability. Except for a few countries such as the United States, most countries require patentees to implement their patent rights within a certain period of time in the country that grants protection, that is, to use the patented technology to manufacture products or transfer their patents.

2. Trademark; (1) A trademark is a mark used on goods or services, which cannot be separated from the goods or services and is attached to the goods or services. It is not a labor product for exchange, and the logo on it is not a trademark.

(2) A trademark is a sign that distinguishes the source of goods or services from others, and has a particularly distinctive distinguishing function, making it easy for consumers to identify. The composition of a trademark is an artistic creation.

(3) A trademark is a visible sign consisting of text, graphics, letters, numbers, three-dimensional signs and colors, as well as a combination of the above elements.

(4) The trademark is exclusive. The purpose of using a trademark is to distinguish the goods or services from others and facilitate consumer identification. Therefore, the owner of a registered trademark has exclusive rights to his trademark and is protected by law. No one may use the same or similar trademark without the permission of the trademark owner. Otherwise, it will constitute an infringement of the registered trademark. The owner of the right shall bear the corresponding legal liability for the exclusive right to use the trademark.

(5) A trademark is an intangible asset and has value. A trademark represents the quality reputation and corporate reputation and image of the trademark owner's production or operation. The trademark owner makes the trademark valuable and increases the added value of the goods through the trademark's creativity, design, application for registration, advertising and use. The value of a trademark can be determined through an appraisal. Trademarks can be transferred for a fee, and others can be allowed to use them with the consent of the trademark owner.

(6) Trademark is the carrier of product information and a tool to participate in market competition. The competition among producers and operators is the competition for the quality and reputation of goods or services, and its manifestation is the competition for trademark visibility. The higher the trademark visibility, the stronger the competitiveness of its goods or services.
