The differences between design patents and three-dimensional signs are as follows:

First, design patents and three-dimensional signs have different functions and functions. Trademark identification is very distinct. Although the design patent has certain identification, it also shows some practical characteristics.

second, design patents and three-dimensional signs are protected differently by law. In terms of the scope of protection, the scope of protection of trademarks is relatively wide, while the scope of protection of design patents is relatively narrow.

thirdly, the conditions for legal protection of design patents and three-dimensional signs are different. Comparatively speaking, the acquisition of trademark right is more complicated than the acquisition of patent right of design.

both design patents and three-dimensional signs have their unique advantages. Design patents are more time-sensitive, while three-dimensional trademarks express three-dimensional shapes more clearly. Therefore, enterprises can choose two forms of protection: three-dimensional trademark and design patent according to the appearance needs of their own goods.
