The data

Trademarks by Nice class

Office totals add up each office's own register, so an international registration counts at WIPO and again at each covered office where it is designated. A mark can cover several classes and counts in each, so class shares are of all class claims, not of all marks. Class counts come from the class reports computed October 5, 2026, which covered 11 offices. A mark in several classes counts in each, so class shares are of all class claims in those reports.
