As we all know, trademark registration can be applied in the name of a company or an individual (a non-natural person must have a personal license), both of which have the same legal significance. But many people have doubts, which is better, the difference between individual registration and company registration? Today, let's take a look at the difference between the two.

First, the materials provided during registration are different.

Companies provide business licenses and corresponding official seals, and individuals provide personal licenses and legal person ID cards.

1, required for company name registration.

Copy of the company's business license and affix the company's official seal.

2. Personal name registration is required.

Copy of personal identity card and business license of individual industrial and commercial households.

Second, trademark ownership is different.

1. Trademark in company name

Ownership belongs to the company, and the enterprise legal person or shareholder does not enjoy the exclusive right to use a registered trademark. If the company cancels, the trademark is invalid, and the trademark belongs to the company's property and needs to be liquidated.

2. Trademarks in the name of individuals

Trademarks registered by individuals only belong to individuals. Although a copy of the self-employed license was provided at the time of application, after successful registration, the trademark was owned by the individual and was used and controlled by the individual.

Third, the stability is different.

1, the company's nominal trademark is unstable.

The applicant applying for a trademark is a company, and the address is the address on the business license. The registered trademark must be consistent with the business license. If the name and address change, the trademark needs to be changed.

2. Personal name trademarks are relatively stable.

The trademark applied by an individual is the name of the person, and the address is the address (or mailing address) on the ID card. Personal identity cards are generally unchanged, and trademarks do not need to be changed, which is relatively stable.

Fourth, ownership control is different.

1, company registration depends on the company's use of trademarks.

2. Individual registration authority is relatively centralized, and individuals enjoy the exclusive right to use trademarks.

5. Applicants for trademark registration have different name requirements.

1, registered trademark of enterprise

The applicant must be the name of the enterprise on the business license, and nothing else can be changed.

2. Individual registered trademark

Individual industrial and commercial households can apply for trademark registration in the name of the applicant with the name registered in their business licenses, or they can apply for trademark registration in the name of the person in charge registered in the licenses.
