As the name implies, Logo covers a wider range than trademarks. On the other hand, Logo can also be said to be the predecessor of trademark. To become a trademark, Logo must be registered in the Trademark Office first. Only after successful registration can it become a trademark. In addition, there are several differences between trademarks and signs:

The types of right acquisition are different.

Trademark is a legal concept and is protected by trademark law. Once registered, the obligee enjoys the exclusive right to use the trademark. As an artistic design work, Logo does not need to be registered, and the copyright is automatically obtained after the creation is completed.

There are different legal protections.

Logo is protected by copyright law and trademark is protected by trademark law. Logo can be registered as a trademark, so this trademark Logo is protected by both copyright law and trademark law, which means that the protection scope of Logo and trademark is different, and the protection scope of Logo is not as wide as that of trademark. In addition, there is another difference that the protection period is different. As a work of art, Logo enjoys 50 years of copyright protection, but the trademark can be inherited, so it can always have the trademark right through renewal.

The subject of right ownership is different.

According to the category of intellectual property, the exclusive right to use a trademark can only belong to the owner, and the owner and designer of the logo are probably not the same person. Many ordinary enterprises entrust designers to design Logo, so as commissioned works, the copyright ownership of Logo can be divided into two situations: those with agreement belong to the client and those without agreement belong to the designer.
