NORTH QUINCY, MA, APRIL 17, 2013 - Thomson CompuMark, a Thomson Reuters
Intellectual Property & Science business and global leader in trademark
searching and brand protection solutions, released its 2012 State of Trademarks
report today. It tracks published trademark activity and identifies trends
across the world's largest collection of trademark databases from186 countries
and registrars using the Thomson Reuters SAEGIS(®) on SERION(®) online screening
tool.
Key findings from the report include:
* United Kingdom and Turkey Show Strongest Growth among Top 10 Registrars:
The United Kingdom and Turkey were the trademark offices with the largest
percent increase in activity over the prior period, with jumps of 10 percent
and 8 percent, respectively.
* China Leads Global Registrars: The Chinese trademark office published
nearly 925,000 trademarks in 2012, more than triple the United States' total
of 234,527. The activities of these two offices were followed by Brazil:
114,668, Turkey: 86,517, and France: 86,348, to round out the top five.
* China Makes a Fashion Statement: Italy may be labeled as the fashion
capital of the world, but trademark statistics show that Class 25 (Clothing,
Footwear, Headgear) is led by China (69%), the U.S. (15%), France (8%),
Japan (4%) and Turkey (4%) - all of which outpaced Italy.
* Advertising & Business Management (Class 35) Tops the Charts: Across all
international trademark classes, class 35: Advertising & Business Management
was by far the most active with nearly 393,000 published trademarks across
the 186 authorities studied.
* Little Change among Top 10 Registrars Publishing Trademarks: On a year-
over-year basis, China, the United States, Brazil, Turkey, France, South
Korea, Japan, Germany, Canada and the United Kingdom collectively showed a
modest decline of 0.25 percent compared to the top ten countries from the
prior period in total published trademarks (as of data from December
18, 2012).
"In many ways, 2012 marked a great awakening in the trademark world, from pop
culture icons trademarking baby names to the adoption of a new top level domain
program in the U.S., to a major crackdown on counterfeiting in China," said Anne
Olson, vice president, Market Development, Thomson CompuMark. By continually
tracking published trademark trends across regional trademark offices across the
globe, we provide trademark professionals with insights they can use to maintain
a competitive advantage in this constantly evolving landscape."
