How a design patent differs from a trademark

A design patent protects the ornamental look of an industrial product for ten years from the Thai filing date. The term is not renewable. The name or logo of the product is not what a design protects.

A trademark is a sign used to tell one trader’s goods or services from another’s. A registration lasts ten years from the filing date and can be renewed. A mark that is not used can become vulnerable to cancellation.
