1. The nature of the title is different.

Commodity name refers to the general title of a certain type of commodities with the same nature. Most products are named according to their own performance or function.

The main function of a trade name is to distinguish products with similar properties from products without such properties, making it easier to identify and recognize the product.

Trademarks are specific and exclusive. Once a trademark is registered, it can only be used exclusively by the registrant. Enterprises that produce the same product can freely use the recognized name of the product without the permission of any organization or individual.

2. Different methods of differentiation.

The common name of a commodity is used to distinguish different types of commodities. The specific name of a commodity is used to distinguish specific commodities and specific objects of the same type of commodities. The commodity name is naturally formed during the use process.

Although trademarks are also used to distinguish goods, they are mainly used to distinguish producers and sellers of different goods. And they are mostly designed by users themselves.

3. The registration functions are different.

The common name of a commodity is not distinctive and cannot be registered as a trademark. It arises naturally and does not require any formalities, because it not only cannot distinguish different producers or sellers of the commodity, but also changes the name that should be used. Titles for public use become exclusive to specific people, creating an undue monopoly.
