Is a trademark a business license?

First of all, a business license is a certificate issued by the industrial and commercial administration authority to industrial and commercial enterprises and self-employed individuals allowing them to engage in certain production and business activities. Its format is uniformly stipulated by the State Administration for Industry and Commerce. Business licenses also include individual business licenses and company business licenses.

Trademark registration means that individuals, legal persons or organizations obtain exclusive rights to trademarks for their own goods or services during production and business activities, and then register them through the National Trademark Office. When applying for trademark registration, the applicant shall submit his or her identity documents. To register a trademark, you need to submit a "Trademark Registration Application" and a copy of the trademark pattern to the Trademark Office.

Summary: Business license and trademark registration are different. Trademark registration requires application through the National Trademark Office and relevant materials. Natural persons, legal persons or organizations can apply. Business licenses are divided into two forms: individual and enterprise. Individual industrial and commercial households should apply for registration to the registration authority where the business place is located. When applying for a business license, you need to select relevant departments for company registration based on the nature of the business. A company established in accordance with the law shall be issued an "Enterprise Legal Person Business License" by the company registration authority.
