With the increasing emphasis on intellectual property protection in China, many enterprises have promoted intellectual property to the height of corporate strategy. The most common intellectual property rights are trademarks, patents and copyrights, so what are the respective protection scopes of trademarks, patents and copyrights? What do trademarks, patents and copyrights protect respectively? What is the scope of protection of trademarks, patents and copyrights? What is the scope of protection of trademarks, patents and copyrights? What is a trademark? In short, a trademark is a prominent symbol used to distinguish goods or services, and it is the most common type of intellectual property. What is a patent? Patents refer to inventions protected by law, including invention patents, utility model patents and design patents. What copyright? Copyright, also known as copyright, refers to the rights enjoyed by authors of literary, artistic and scientific works. What do trademarks, patents and copyrights protect respectively? For example, in the era of artificial intelligence, smart cars have become an area that major giants are scrambling to study. If Company A's R&D team finally successfully develops a new generation of smart cars through unremitting efforts, how can Company A protect its intellectual property rights? First of all, a product should have a resounding name before it goes on the market. For example, if it is named ABC, then ABC can be used as the trademark of this car. Once the ABC trademark is registered, in the field of smart cars, others may not use the ABC brand without the permission of Company A. Secondly, of course, simply not letting others use the name ABC cannot completely protect intellectual property rights. For example, the breakthrough technology of smart cars cannot be protected by applying for trademarks. At this point, the patent will come in handy. If Company A applies for a patent for this technology, even if competitors have cracked the related technology, they can't use it on their own products without authorization, which protects Company A's patented technology from infringement to the maximum extent. Thirdly, the software system is also very important for smart cars. In order to prevent competitors from copying software source code, it is also a wise choice to apply for software copyright registration (software copyright belongs to a kind of copyright). In case of plagiarism, the software copyright certificate of Company A is strong evidence of rights protection. What is the scope of protection of trademarks, patents and copyrights? Different fields of intellectual property protection are different: trademark protection focuses on the signs of goods or services, patent protection focuses on novel technologies, and copyright protection focuses on original works. As can be seen from the above examples, in order to protect the name, technology and software source code of smart cars, Company A applied for trademark, patent and software copyright registration respectively, so as to achieve the purpose of comprehensive protection of intellectual property rights.
