Procter & Gamble,
Nestlé, Apple, L'Oréal, Novartis, LG Electronics and Unilever among
the largest portfolio owners in most registers
LONDON, May 15, 2025
/PRNewswire/ -- Clarivate Plc (NYSE:CLVT), a leading global
provider of transformative intelligence, today released the
Trademark filing trends 2025 report, analyzing ten key
trademark registers worldwide: the United
States (U.S.), Canada, the
United Kingdom (U.K.), the
European Union (EU), France,
Germany, India, Mainland China, Japan, and Australia. The report reveals the top 20
largest local and foreign-based trademark portfolios in each region
and the law firms managing the largest trademark portfolios.
Based on data from SAEGIS, a CompuMark trademark database
containing over 150 million records, the report shows Mainland
China continues to lead in global trademark filings with 6.76
million applications in 2024, despite a steady three-year decline
in activity. The U.S. claims second place with 566,938
applications. India is rapidly
closing in on the U.S. with over 537,000 applications in 2024 and
an average yearly growth of 10% over the last decade.
Gordon Samson, President,
Intellectual Property, Clarivate, said: "In an increasingly
volatile market for new and existing brands, trademark attorneys
need to be acutely aware of macro-trends in local jurisdictions and
the subtle economic interplay between states and major hubs of
trademark activity. By integrating the insights outlined in the
report into trademark and business strategies, brands and their
representatives can develop a more informed approach to managing
their IP. This not only helps in mitigating risks associated with
trademark infringement but also enhances the ability to capitalize
on emerging opportunities."
Other key findings from the 2024 trademark filing data
include:
- Seven brands consistently ranked in the top 20 largest
portfolio lists. Procter & Gamble, Nestlé, Apple, L'Oréal,
Novartis, LG Electronics and Unilever were each among the largest
portfolio owners in at least seven of the ten registers
analyzed.
- Three jurisdictions face three years of consistent
decline. France, Mainland
China and Japan experienced a
steady decrease in trademark filing activity in 2022, 2023 and
2024. All three jurisdictions ended 2024 with the lowest filing
volume since 2017.
- Mainland China continues to
dominate global trademark filings, underscoring its economic
growth and expanding global brand presence.
- Australia recovers to 2021
trademark filing volume, primarily due to a 24% increase in
trademark applications by foreign based brand owners in 2024.
