Brand and trademark are two different concepts. Although they have some similarities, their meanings and uses are different.

Brand generally refers to the image, credibility and popularity of a company's goods or services in the market. Brand is a comprehensive reflection of a company's image, including its name, logo, slogan, image, credibility, reputation, culture and other aspects. It represents the company's values, ideas and culture. Brand is the last "barrier" for companies to avoid falling into pure homogeneous price competition. As market competition becomes increasingly homogeneous, a company's products, quality, technology, management, channels, services and processes can easily be copied by competitors. Imitation, but competitors cannot copy a brand.

A trademark is a mark, such as graphics, letters, numbers, symbols, colors, etc., used to distinguish one operator's brand or services from the goods or services of other operators. Trademark is an intangible asset of an enterprise. It is used to protect the enterprise's commercial identity and intellectual property rights, and can help the enterprise establish and protect its brand image in the market.

The difference between a brand and a trademark can be distinguished in the following aspects: 1. A brand is a comprehensive reflection of a corporate image, and a trademark is a sign used to identify the source of goods or services. 2. Brand can include the name, logo, slogan, image, credibility, reputation, culture and other aspects of the company. Trademark is only a part of it and is mainly used to identify the company's goods or services. 3. Brands can help companies establish and maintain their image and reputation in the market, while trademarks are mainly used to protect the company's commercial identity and intellectual property rights. 4. Trademarks can obtain legal protection through registration, but brands cannot obtain legal protection directly through registration, but companies can protect their brand image through the use of trademarks.
