Both are intellectual property rights, what is the difference between trademark and copyright?

First, the objects of protection are different. Copyright protects works for people to appreciate, learn and read, such as novels; trademark rights protect goods and service marks used to distinguish different producers and operators and different goods, such as Haier and other trademarks. Second, the conditions and requirements for protection are different. The Copyright Act can protect two works on the same subject, as long as the works are original. However, the Trademark Law will not protect two identical trademarks on the same kind or type of goods. Third, rights are generated in different ways. Copyrights usually arise automatically and do not need to go through any registration or review procedures; trademarks must be reviewed by specific national administrative agencies in accordance with the law and then awarded to legitimate applicants.
