Looking back at last year, some trademark data that I’ve collected that may be of interest:
- Total trademark applications in 2025:
- filed: about 72,000 (up about 9% from 2024)
- granted: about 90,000 (up about 45% from 2024)
- about 74% national filings vs 26% Madrid filings
- Average time from filing to grant for newly granted registrations: about 3 years (about 2.7 years for Madrid filings)
- See list of trademark agents by volume of applications filed in 2025 with change to the placement of the top two firms
- TMOB Decisions: 275 (up from 225 in 2024)
- Federal Court trademark proceedings: about 125 (down from 135 in 2024)
- About 55 reported trademark court decisions with the most visited being Centric Brands, 2025 FCA 161 on s45 non-use, subject to the only pending trademark leave application to the SCC
Update: It was pointed out that I should have probably said “about 275” TMOB decisions since while the last published decision is #275, the board appears to have skilled 2025 TMOB 174.
