Many people do not understand the division between trademarks and patents. Below, Bajie Intellectual Property Trademark Transfer Network will sort out the differences between the two.

From a legal perspective, the so-called patent is the abbreviation of patent right. It generally refers to the patent right enjoyed by the product object or enterprise invented and created by the patentee, that is, it is granted to the inventor and creator within a certain period of time in accordance with the law. Or the right of its successors to exclusively use its inventions and creations. The emphasis here is on rights. Patent right is an exclusive right, which is exclusive and exclusive. If a non-patentee wants to use the patented technology of others, he must obtain authorization or permission from the patentee in accordance with the law. Take the well-known integrated ceiling industry in Jiaxing as an example. AIA is not only the creator of the integrated ceiling industry, but it also owns a patent.

Trademark is a product that distinguishes goods from goods. It is composed of text, graphics, letters, numbers, three-dimensional logos, and colors. It mainly distinguishes the source of goods or services.

Their characteristics are: they all belong to the traditional category of intellectual property rights, have the private nature of the right ontology and the non-material nature of the rights object, and have a validity period.

Their differences include: different attributes of rights, different agencies granting rights, different conditions for protection, different fields of application, and different rights protection periods.

In general, trademarks are not considered patents. Trademarks can be applied for by individuals and companies, while patents are creative and can only be owned by a few individuals and companies. Both are intellectual property rights, but the meaning of the subject matter is different.
