Is the trademark a patent?

Legal analysis: trademarks are not patents. Trademarks and patents are not affiliated, but both belong to the category of intellectual property rights. A trademark is a distinctive sign that a specific individual or enterprise produces or provides goods or services.

Legal basis: Article 4 of the Trademark Law of People's Republic of China (PRC), if a natural person, legal person or other organization needs to obtain the exclusive right to use a trademark for its goods or services in production and business activities, it shall apply to the Trademark Office for trademark registration. The application for registration of a malicious trademark that is not intended to be used shall be rejected. The provisions of this Law on commodity trademarks shall apply to service trademarks.
