A "trade name" (字号or商号) identifies a business, while a "trademark" identifies a product of a business. A trade name may also function as a trademark where the trade name is used in connection with the marketing or sale of goods and/or services. When used in this manner, a trade name may not only constitute infringement of another's trademark but also violate the law of unfair competition if such use causes a likelihood of confusion or deception.
