What is a trademark, patent, and copyright?

商标，简而言之，是用来区分商品或服务并具有显著特征的标志，它是最常见的知识产权类型。专利是指受法律保护的发明创造，包括发明专利、实用新型专利和外观设计专利三种类型。版权又称为著作权，是指文学、艺术、科学作品的作者对其作品享有的权利。

Trademark, in short, is a symbol used to distinguish goods or services with significant characteristics. It is the most common type of intellectual property. Patent refers to the invention and creation which is protected by law, including three types of invention patents, utility model patents and appearance design patents. Copyright, also known as copyright, refers to the rights of the authors of literary, artistic and scientific works to their works.

商标、专利、版权各自保护了什么？

What are the respective protection of trademarks, patents and copyrights?

不同知识产权保护的领域各不相同：商标保护的重点是商品或服务的标志，而专利保护的重点是具有新颖性的技术，版权保护的重点则是独创性的作品。

Different areas of intellectual property protection are different: trademark protection focuses on the symbol of goods or services, while the focus of patent protection is novelty technology, and the focus of copyright protection is original works.

商标、专利和版权的性质不一样

The nature of trademark, patent and copyright is not the same

无论是商标、专利还是版权在注册申请时都需要进行人工审查，但基于三者不同的特点，审查的重点也不同：

Whether it is a trademark, a patent or a copyright, it needs to be examined manually in the registration application, but the focus of the review is also different based on the different characteristics of the three.

商标审查的是显著性，说的简单点就是能区分出来、跟别人不一样。比如美味牌苹果，就不具有显著性：由于美味是形容词，美味苹果涉及范围太广，这样的词不可能被某一家企业独占，也就无法被区分出来。除了显著性以外，商标还要审查相似性，即在相同类别下，不能存在相同或近似的商标在先申请。如果既有显著性又不存在相似商标，那么商标就差不多可以通过审查了。

Trademark examination is significant, and the simple point of saying is to distinguish it from others. For example, delicious apple has no significance: because delicious is an adjective, delicious apple covers a wide range, such a word can't be monopolized by an enterprise, and it can't be distinguished from it. In addition to the significance, the trademark also examines the similarity, that is, under the same category, there is no same or similar trademark in the first application. If there are both significant and no similar trademarks, then the trademark can be almost examined.

专利审查的重点是新颖性。审查方法也很简单，一般通过查阅现有文献的方法来判断。如果现有文献查不到，那么说明这个专利就具有新颖性。

The focus of patent examination is novelty. The method of review is also very simple, and is generally judged by means of consulting the existing literature. If the existing literature can not be found, then the patent is novel.

版权相对特别，因为版权自作者完成之日起就获得了，不需要一个证书来证明自己的权利。看到这里很多人肯定要问，既然如此，为什么还要做版权登记呢？其实，做不做版权登记，作者都享有版权，但谁是原作者就很难证明了。

Copyright is relatively special, because copyright has been acquired from the date of completion of the author, and does not require a certificate to prove its rights. A lot of people here are sure to ask, since so, why do you want to do copyright registration? In fact, not to do copyright registration, the author enjoys copyright, but it is hard to prove who is the original author.

版权登记的审查也相对容易，只做形式审查，不做实质审查，因此申请时间也非常快，一般一个月左右就能申请完成。版权审查的主要是独创性，说的简单点，就是你没有抄袭，其实这事是很难认定的，实务中，也有不少抄袭之作成功地申请了版权登记。

The review of copyright registration is relatively easy. Only formal review is made without substantive review, so the application time is very fast. Usually, it can be applied in a month or so. The copyright censorship is mainly originality. The simple point is that you didn't copy it. Actually, this is hard to identify. In practice, many plagiarized works successfully applied for copyright registration.

哪些产品可以申请外观设计专利

Which products can apply for design patents

只要是对产品的形状、图案或者其结合以及色彩与形状、图案的集合所做出的富有美感并适用于工业应有的新设计，如手机、手表、电视、电脑、茶壶、汽车，只要符合上述条件，都可以申请外观设计专利。

As long as it is made of a collection of product shape or pattern as well as its combination with the color and the shape or pattern of aesthetic feeling and is suitable for the new design industry should, such as mobile phone, TV, computer, watches, teapot, car, as long as the above conditions, can apply for exterior design patent.

外观设计的载体必须是产品，不能重复生产的手工艺品、农产品、畜产品、自然物不能作为外观设计的载体，也就是说这些非产品的载体不能申请外观设计专利。

The carrier of the design must be the product. The handicraft, agricultural products, animal products and natural products that cannot be repeated can not be used as the carrier of the appearance design. That is to say, the carriers of these non products can not apply for the design patent.

从上面的描述不难看出，所有产品都可以申请外观设计专利。而商标分为商品商标、服务商标、集团商标和证明商标。45类商标中包含了所有商标的申请注册，只要是和产品相关的都可以申请，但外观设计专利只保护外观设计或包装，也可以是产品本身的外观设计，并不是产品的性能够或结构等。

From the above description, it is not difficult to see that all products can apply for design patents. The trademark is divided into commodity trade mark, service trademark, group trademark and proof trademark. The 45 trademark contains all trademark application registration, as long as it is related to products, it can be applied, but the design patent only protects the appearance design or package, or the appearance design of the product itself, not the product's sex, ability or structure.

所以，想要对知识产权进行完备的保护，不能只在一个领域上注册或申请，要进行知识产权的整体保护，制定相关战略。如果您清晰地认识到都要怎样保护，既想注册商标，又要申请专利，可以呼叫方土标局，为您解答。

Therefore, if we want to have a complete protection of intellectual property rights, we should not register or apply only in one field, we should protect the intellectual property rights and formulate relevant strategies. If you are clearly aware of how to protect, but also to the registered trademark, patent application, can call soil classifications to answer your questions.
