Trends in Trademarks 2008

2007 was the busiest year for the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office since 2000. One sector that saw a large increase in trademark applications was the world of green, with “eco,” “earth,” “clean,” “environment” and “organic” trademarks topping the amounts filed in 2006, some by more than 50 percent.

The 2008 Dechert LLP Annual Reports on Trends in Trademarking looks at how trademarks for those and other environmental terms have increased in usage on trademark applications.
