About 53,000 trademark applications were filed in Canada in 2015. Of these, about 22% were filed in-house or without an agent (about the same as in the last couple of years). Gowlings, Bereskin & Parr and Smart & Biggar were the firms that filed the most trademark applications. Check out my list of the 50 firms/agents that filed the most applications in 2015.
After the applications filed in-house or without an agent, according to my analysis the top-5 firms that filed the most applications in 2015 were:
- Gowlings
- Bereskin & Parr
- Smart & Biggar/Fetherstonaugh
- Borden Ladner Gervais
- Robic
For those interested, please compare my 2014, 2013, 2012 and 2011 list with the 2015 list. I have attempted to address different firm spellings/name changes but have not consolidated filings made by individuals within a firm that are recorded by CIPO under the individual. Please let me know of any discrepancies or errors.
