Comparing copyright and trademark, each has advantages and disadvantages. The specific differences are analyzed from the following three aspects:

1. Different time periods

The time period for copyright application is about 30 working days, which means the result will be available in about 2 months, and the application can be expedited. Yes, the time can be shortened to one working day at the shortest.

Copyright Protection

2. Different results

It does not mean that the trademark must be successfully registered if it is not exactly the same. , because it involves various influences and copyrights are different, basically original ones can apply for registration successfully.

3. Different levels of protection

This is a comparison of trademarks Advantages: Once a trademark is successfully registered, it not only protects the trademark itself, but also affects other similar trademarks, while copyright only protects the design itself.

Fourth is the scope of protection, trademark registration There are 45 categories in total, with clear classification and clear protection. The category you apply for registration will protect the product and service brands of the corresponding category. The scope of copyright protection is relatively less clear. It can also be said to be full category protection, but for It is not as strong as a trademark.

From the analysis of the editor of Hongbang Intellectual Property Agency, we can conclude that trademarks and copyrights are not two opposite relationships, but complementary to each other. For individuals and enterprises, Intellectual property protection is indispensable. For example, you designed a logo for your brand and wanted to protect it. You applied for trademark registration. However, due to the long time and uncertainty of the result, to be on the safe side, you applied for it at the same time. Copyright protection means that you will get a copyright certificate during the trademark acceptance stage. At least your use of this brand will not cause infringement to others. When the trademark application is successful, you will have absolute exclusive rights to this brand. Even if Even if the trademark application is rejected, during the reexamination stage, the copyright registration certificate is also a good evidence for your rights protection. Therefore, copyright and trademark, two intellectual property rights, each have their own benefits, and both can improve the market competitiveness of enterprises.
