专利与版权，同样的设计申请哪个好

Patent and copyright, which is the same design application?

一幅设计作品出来后，有些人会有疑问，究竟是申请外观专利好，还是申请著作权会比较好呢？今天小编就针对这个问题，做一个简单的分析。

After a design work comes out, some people may wonder whether it is better to apply for a patent for appearance or for copyright. Today Xiaobian aims at this problem and makes a simple analysis.

专利权是指专利权人对其发明、实用新型和外观设计依法享有的专有权利。著作权和专利权的不同之处主要表现为：

The patent right means the patenor's exclusive right to invent, utility model and appearance design according to law. The differences between copyright and patent are mainly as follows:

1、保护的对象不同。

1, the object of protection is different.

著作权保护的是作者思想、情感和观点的表现形式，不保护思想、情感和观点等内容本身，这些形式表现为小说、论文、电影、歌曲、图画等种类。

Copyright protects the form of expression of the author's thoughts, feelings and opinions, and does not protect the content itself, such as ideas, feelings and opinions. These forms are manifested in novels, papers, movies, songs, pictures and other categories.

专利权保护的是发明创造，属于思想、观点内容范围，包括发明、实用新型和外观设计三种类型，比如电视机的发明、灯泡的制造方法、可口可乐瓶独特的外观设计等。

Patents protect inventions, which fall within the scope of ideas and viewpoints. They include invention, utility model and appearance design, such as the invention of television sets, the manufacturing method of light bulbs, and the unique appearance design of Coca-Cola bottles.

2、保护的条件和要求不同。

2, the conditions and requirements of protection are different.

由保护对象所决定，著作权法可以保护两部主题内容相同的作品，只要这些作品具有独创性；

Depending on the object of protection, copyright law can protect two works with the same subject matter, provided they are original.

但专利权不会保护主题内容相同的两个发明创造，例如，甲发明了电视机，并申请了专利，乙就不能再申请这一专利。

But patents do not protect two inventions with the same subject matter. For example, when A invented the TV set and applied for a patent, B can no longer apply for the patent.

3、权利产生方式不同。

3, the way of right generation is different.

 

 

著作权通常可以自动产生，不必经过任何登记或审查程序；

Copyright can usually be generated automatically without any registration or examination procedures.

专利权则必须依法由国家特定的行政机关进行审查后授予合法申请人。

The patent right must be examined by the state specific administrative organ in accordance with the law and be granted to the legal applicant.

4、权利保护期限不同。

4, the duration of right protection is different.

如前所述，对著作财产权的保护期一般是作者有生之年加上死后的50年；

As mentioned before, the protection period of copyright is generally the 50 years after the death of the author.

专利权的保护期分别为发明专利20年，外观设计和实用新型10年，均从申请日起计算。

The term of protection of the patent right is 20 years for invention patent, 10 years for design and utility model, which shall be counted from the date of application.
