According to Dechert’s 16th annual report on Trends in Trademarks, the vast majority of applications filed with the American Trademark Office come from U.S. businesses, but about 15 percent are from companies in other countries seeking to protect their marks in America. Among these foreign applicants, China has been responsible for the most significant increase in recent years. Back in 2003, Chinese companies accounted for only 500 U.S. applications, but in 2007 the number rose to 1750, leapfrogging applicants from South Korea and Taiwan, each of which accounted for about 1,000 filings. |
