Copyright - your friend in trademark application?Mar 2019 |
| When we are applying for trademarks, we may create trademark patterns, which can be an "art work" in copyright. The scope of copyright protection is not the same as trademark protection. Trademark protection is more detailed and clear, while copyright protection is more vague. However, copyright is obtained upon completion of the work. Therefore, in trademark disputes, copyright is a great guarantee for your trademark rights. |
| During trademark application, if there is a similar mark with an application date later than the completion date of our work, the copyright protection can act as an important evidence to avoid pre-emptive registration by others and protect our rights. |
| When a copyright is registered, it dates back to the date of completion of the work. Therefore, as long as your trademark creation date is earlier than others, the date of obtaining the copyright will be directly returned to the earliest completion date. This is a major feature of copyright. It can be used in different kinds of disputes involving issue of similar graphics. |
| Copyright is a useful tool in protection of rights. To achieve its maximum advantages in relation to trademark protection, we suggest you seek advice from professional copyright and trademark agents to discuss the overall plan and obtain more information. Your company rights and commercial plans can be better safeguarded. |
| If you have any enquiry on how trademarks and copyrights can work together, please feel free to contact us for professional information and services. |
