Problem Description:

Which departments handle trademark registration and patent applications?

Do I still need to apply for a patent after registering a trademark?

Analysis:

Knowing it means knowing it!

1. Trademarks are handled at the Trademark Office of the State Administration for Industry and Commerce. There are no local offices.

2. Patents are handled at the State Intellectual Property Office, but some provincial capitals and Shenzhen have agency offices.

3. Trademark and patent are two different concepts. Generally, a design patent will not be registered once a trademark has been registered.

4. There are professional agencies for trademark and patent applications.
