Data notes & caveats
The figures count active registrations, not distinct brands or owners. Renewal terms and active-registration rules vary across jurisdictions, and the European Union office is retained as a regional reporting office.
Methodology
The comparison uses WIPO year-end counts of trademark registrations in force for 2024. National and regional offices are retained, and items are sized and ordered by the unrounded active-registration count.
Source consistency notes
All entries use the same WIPO year-end 2024 stock definition and active-registration unit.
