Trademark use right and trademark right
A: The right to use a trademark refers to the right of the owner of a registered trademark to use the registered trademark on the goods approved for use. It should be noted that there are many ways to use trademarks, including using trademarks on commodities, commodity packages or containers, and commodity transaction documents, or using trademarks in commercial activities such as advertisements and exhibitions. The exercise of the right to use must comply with the provisions of the law, that is, it must be used on registered trademarks and approved goods.

The prohibition right in trademark right refers to the right of the trademark owner to prohibit any third party from using the same or similar trademark on the same or similar goods without his permission.

The scope of the prohibition right is greater than the right to use, including not only trademarks approved for registration and goods approved for use, but also similar trademarks and similar goods.

The law allows the scope of the prohibition right of a trademark to be greater than the scope of the use right, because as a kind of logo, the identification function of a trademark is not clearly defined, but it is different because of consumers' cognition or other reasons. Therefore, in order to ensure the realization of trademark recognition function, it is difficult to exclude others from using the registered trademark. Because the purpose of using trademarks is to let consumers identify the correct source of goods, gain the trust of consumers and further expand the sales of goods through the identification function of trademarks. If others use similar trademarks or similar goods, these functions of trademarks will be affected or damaged, thus blurring the original identification function and leading to a large number of hitchhiking behaviors.
