Key findings
Our analysis of global trademark filings highlights several themes shaping trademark strategy worldwide. Key findings from the 2026 report include:
-
High growth industries dominate filing activity.
Trademark filings in 2025 were driven by sector momentum rather than isolated corporate dominance, with iGaming, pharmaceuticals, vaping, and cosmetics appearing consistently across registers. -
E commerce filing behavior is reshaping registers.
Online marketplace sellers and cross border e commerce brands were increasingly visible, particularly at the UKIPO, EUIPO, Germany and IP Australia, often using short cycle branding strategies. -
AI developers remain largely absent from top filer lists.
Despite rapid commercial influence, most major AI companies did not feature among the highest trademark filers, suggesting brand formalization in the sector is still emerging. -
Trademark representation is becoming more international.
Representative activity shifted away from fully local models, with multi country filing services gaining prominence across several major jurisdictions.
Methodology
To produce this report, Clarivate analyzed trademark filing data from the 2026 calendar year using SAEGIS, the CompuMark online trademark database and screening solution, which contains more than 150 million records.
The analysis spans ten major trademark jurisdictions: the United States, Canada, the United Kingdom, the European Union, France, Germany, India, Mainland China, Japan and Australia.
Unlike previous editions, the 2026 report focuses exclusively on single year filing activity, offering a clear snapshot of the brands, industries and representatives shaping trademark activity in 2026.
