Can copyright be used as a trademark?

 

       Can copyright be used as a trademark? The answer is of course no. Copyright, also known as copyright, belongs to the category of intellectual property rights, but there are different differences between the two, which cannot be replaced in the process of use.

       In terms of subject, the subject of copyright can be either individual citizens, legal persons or unincorporated units, heirs or inheritors of rights and business, and can also be the state. However, the subject of a trademark is mainly a legal person or an individual, and it must be an individual when applying for a provincial trademark. But the state cannot become the subject of trademark rights.

       In terms of acquisition of rights, the acquisition of copyright is generally generated automatically, and the generation of trademark rights needs to be determined by the state administrative organ.

       In terms of the subject matter of rights, the subject matter of copyright is literary, artistic or scientific works, and the subject matter of trademark right is used as a trademark for goods or services.

       In terms of exclusivity of rights, there are two completely independent works in copyright, and trademark rights require quite strong exclusivity. Not only can there be no trademarks with the same protection scope, but also similar trademarks with the same protection model and text. Compared with well-known trademarks, the rights independence is more obvious.
