1. Risk differences. When applying for registration of a combined trademark, the risk is greater than registering separately, because the combined trademark needs to be reviewed separately to see if the trademark patterns are the same or similar. If it is pictures and text, then the text needs to be checked once, and the pictures need to be checked again. Once again, neither of the two trademarks can be registered unless they are identical and similar. If one of them fails to pass the review, the trademark as a whole will be rejected; even if one of the trademarks is rejected separately, the other trademark can still continue to be registered. register.
2. The difference in trademark registration fees. A combination trademark is to apply for registration by overlapping two trademarks, so you only need to pay the registration fee for one trademark. On the contrary, to register separately, you need to pay the registration fee for each trademark separately, so the cost will naturally be higher than that of a combination trademark. The cost is higher.
3. The difference between using trademarks. Once the combination registration is approved, it can only be used according to the combination of the trademark at the time of registration. No changes can be made, the combination cannot be changed, and it cannot be taken apart and used separately. Otherwise, it will not be used as a registered trademark, nor can it be registered. Trademark mark. When using separately registered trademarks, you can use any part of them at will and mark the mark of the registered trademark at the same time. You can also use them in combination at will and mark each part with the mark of the registered trademark.
4. Differences in infringement. If you are applying for a combined trademark, and if the infringer accidentally touches part of it, the court may not necessarily determine that the trademark used by the infringer and the combined trademark are similar trademarks; if this situation occurs with separate trademarks , then if any infringement occurs, the trademark owner has the right to hold the infringer accountable, and the court will also determine that the infringer is similar to the separately registered trademark.
