The difference between a trademark right and a patent protection period lies in:
The protection period is different!
1. The trademark right shall be protected for ten years from the date of application. You can renew the fee after ten years, and then you can use it for another ten years. It can be renewed after ten years, that is, it can be extended indefinitely.
2, patent rights, divided into three types, design patents, the protection period of ten years; Patent for utility model, with a protection period of ten years; The term of protection of the invention patent is twenty years; And the patent has to pay an annual fee, otherwise it will be invalid.
The renewal period of a trademark is half a year, and it will be renewed half a year before its expiration. If there is no renewal, there will be an extension period of half a year, that is, half a year after the expiration. If it is not renewed, the trademark is invalid. If you want to recover later, it will be more troublesome. It is possible to be squatted by others.
If the annual fee is not paid on time, the patent will be invalid.
