Why do you need to apply for an appearance patent after trademark registration?

Trademark registration only protects your registered category, and appearance patent can help you prevent others from imitating your trademark to register other categories, playing a double protection role. If it is an original design, it is suggested to apply for copyright and appearance patent at the same time when registering the trademark, and the issuance time of copyright and appearance patent is shorter. If a trademark is rejected for review, copyright and appearance are many good examples.
