Trademark registration is very common in real life. In general, people know that one way to obtain a trademark is trademark registration, and the other is trademark transfer. However, despite the trademark transfer, the transferred trademark is also registered and approved. Therefore, in general, registration can give legal effect to trademarks. In this way, will the difference before and after trademark registration be obvious?
The difference before and after trademark registration can also be understood as the difference in the functions of trademarks before and after trademark registration. The main difference is still above rights. An approved trademark has some rights that cannot be obtained by an unapproved trademark. Just as the exclusive right is an approved trademark, it has the consciousness of "this trademark belongs to itself", and other enterprises need to get the permission of the enterprise if they use this trademark after that.
There are also differences in the degree of legal protection of trademarks. First, look at unregistered trademarks. Other enterprises can use them at the same time, and the enterprises that use them first can't defend their rights or let other enterprises be punished. The approved trademark can get corresponding compensation according to the actual degree of enterprise infringement, which truly puts the concept and utility of trademark approval into practice.
Therefore, before an enterprise uses a trademark in the market, it is often approved by the Trademark Office. Even if it has not been approved for use, the trademark is already registered, and there is no similar trademark that can be registered later. This is the protection of trademark application first, which is the necessary procedure leading to trademark approval. Even the approved transferred trademark has been approved.
