Research Tools

Trademark, company and class counts are computed directly from IPmandu's trademark records using SQL aggregation — never estimated or sampled.

Growth percentages compare trademark filing activity between two equal-length periods (the selected range, or the most recent year, versus the period immediately before it). Growth is only shown where the prior period has enough filings (5+) to be a meaningful comparison — "N/A" appears otherwise.

Geographic and industry statistics use the applicant's recorded country/city and IPmandu's category classification — never inferred from a company's name.

About this data. IPmandu Insights are generated from trademark records available in the IPmandu database. Statistics are intended for research and informational purposes and should not be treated as legal advice or a determination of trademark registrability or infringement.
