1. The first and most important difference is that registered trademarks and logos represent different rights, and the ways to obtain rights are different. As a work of art, a logo does not need to be registered. It automatically obtains copyright upon completion of creation, while a trademark must be registered by the corresponding national agency to obtain trademark rights.

2. Since they are two different rights acquired, they are naturally protected by different laws. The logo is protected by the Copyright Law and the trademark is protected by the Trademark Law. A logo can be registered as a trademark. If the logo is applied to become a registered trademark, the trademark is protected by both trademark law and copyright law. And if it is a simple logo, it is only protected by copyright law. In other words, if a logo is registered as a trademark, the scope of protection of such a registered trademark is greater than that of a simple logo and trademark.

3. Furthermore, from the perspective of ownership rights, the two are also different. Generally, companies will entrust external designers to design logos. As a commissioned work, the logo will generally be owned by the client (if there is no agreement, it will be owned by the designer). If the copyright of the logo belongs to the designer, then if the logo is infringed, the actual damage will be to the interests of the owner of the logo, but only the designer has the right to sue. Registered trademarks belong only to the trademark owner and are intellectual property rights.

4. Finally, as a work of art, a logo is generally protected for 50 years, while the first application for a registered trademark is valid for 10 years, and can be renewed indefinitely. The protected time is unlimited. Extended content

Trade mark is a specialized legal term. After a brand or part of a brand is registered by the relevant government departments in accordance with the law, it is called a "trademark". Trademarks are protected by law, and the registrant has exclusive rights. Well-known trademarks in the international market are often registered in many countries. There is a distinction between "registered trademarks" and "unregistered trademarks" in China. Registered trademarks are trademarks that are protected by law after being registered with relevant government departments. Unregistered trademarks are not protected by trademark laws
