Trademark rights and copyright are two completely different rights. The difference between the two can be understood in a simple way: the protection of trademark rights is narrow and deep, while the protection of copyright is broad and shallow. The difference between trademark protection and copyright protection is that the scope of protection of trademark rights will be limited by the categories of goods and services. Once it exceeds the specified categories of goods and services, even if others have the same trademark as yours, the Trademark Law will not be able to do anything about it. Therefore, trademark protection is characterized by being narrow and deep. Copyright registration protects the graphic itself (due to the lack of originality of word trademarks, it is generally difficult to apply for copyright registration). Once the copyright registration is completed, the graphic cannot be used in any field without authorization and is not restricted by the specific category of the trademark.
