About the indicator

Applications to register a trademark filed in a country by nonresident applicants, counted by classes. As with patents, the indicator measures not the activity of the country itself but the appeal of its market: a mark is protected only where it is registered, so foreign companies register where they intend to sell. But the ratio to applications by residents works differently here than with patents: even countries that are not wealthy file many trademark applications of their own, because a small enterprise registers a brand too, while it has no inventions to patent.

Important: The classes of goods within applications are counted, not the applications themselves. The count includes marks received by an office through the Madrid System — the World Bank has no separate series for it.
