patent

In the two aspect of trademark, the common feature of the two is exclusivity. No matter patent or trademark is obtained by legal procedure, it is protected by law, and the owner has the exclusive right.

Without the permission of the right holder, no person shall be allowed to use, produce, sell or import and export patented products and products with the same trademark for the purpose of production and operation. Otherwise, they will be infringed and be punished by law.

commodity

The manufacturing differences between the same or similar commodities produced or operated by a producer or operator are convenient for consumers to distinguish between the manufacturer and the business unit of the commodity.

After the trademark is applied for registration, the owner has exclusive rights to exclusive use, and others shall not be used without permission.

But it is worth noting that this exclusive right is limited to the same or similar products.

In other words, producers or sellers of different industries or industries may share certain trademarks within a certain scope.

For example, "the Great Wall brand wine" and "the Great Wall brand lubricants" can exist at the same time, but they do not constitute infringement.

But in the liquor or lubricants industry, no other manufacturers should use the "the Great Wall" brand.

If another liquor manufacturer does not authorize the use of the "the Great Wall" trademark, it constitutes infringement.

Characteristic

The laws of different countries are different.

But generally speaking, prior permission and paid use are the principle of unity.

If a product manufacturer or retailer wants to use, produce or sell a patented product or a brand product, he must obtain the permission of the owner in advance, otherwise he will bear the corresponding legal liability. This legal liability is not exempt from the parties' ignorance.
