The relationship between copyright and patent right

Patent right refers to the patent right enjoyed by the patentee for invention and creation. Trademark right refers to the exclusive right of the trademark owner to his trademark. Copyright refers to the exclusive rights enjoyed by citizens, legal persons and other organizations for works created in the fields of literature, art and science according to law. 2. The protection period is different. According to the patent law of our country, the protection period of invention patent is 20 years, and that of utility model and design patent is 10 years, counting from the date of application. China's Trademark Law stipulates that the period of validity of trademark rights is 10 year, but there is a provision of continuous renewal, which actually provides indefinite protection for trademark rights in China. China's Copyright Law stipulates that the copyright protection period of citizens' works is 50 years before and after the author's death. 3. Different application methods. The patent right shall be applied to the State Patent Office. Trademark rights must be applied to the Trademark Office. Copyright is applied to the copyright protection center.
