Are trademark applicants and holders the same thing?

Legal analysis: In fact, there is no concept of trademark holder in law, only trademark owner. But conceptually, the meaning is the same. Whether a trademark user can authorize others to use the trademark depends on the source of the trademark user's rights. If the trademark user is the trademark owner, then of course it is possible; if the trademark user is only authorized by others to use the trademark, then the consent of the licensor or trademark owner is required.

Legal basis: "Trademark Law of the People's Republic of China" Article 3 A trademark approved and registered by the Trademark Office is a registered trademark, and the trademark registrant enjoys the exclusive right to use the trademark and is protected by law.
