WIPO Reports International Trademark Filings Back to Pre-Recession Volume

It’s nice to see this report.

On Monday, the World Intellectual Property Organization (WIPO) announced that international trademark filings under the Madrid Protocol increased by 12.8% last year.

The biggest gainers were South Korea and China, which both increased a whopping 42% over their previous years’ filings.

U.S. filings were up by 30%.

WIPO says we’re back to the filing volume it saw before the economy started to slide.

That would seem to signal an economic recovery of sorts. That’s not to say my house will ever be worth what I paid for it, but still.
