What is the difference between copyright and patent right?
First, the objects to be protected are different. Copyright protects works for people to enjoy, learn and read, such as novels; Trademark rights protect the marks of goods and services used to distinguish different producers and operators and different commodities, such as Haier and other trademarks. Second, the conditions and requirements of security are different. Copyright law can protect two works with the same theme, as long as they are original. However, the trademark law will not protect the same commodity or two identical trademarks on the same commodity. Third, rights are generated in different ways. Copyright is usually generated automatically and does not require any registration or review procedures; A trademark must be examined by a specific administrative organ of the state according to law and awarded to a legitimate applicant.
