From Table 1, below, it is clear that the overall number of trademark registration applications filed in the Russian Federation in 2013 rose in comparison to 2012. The overall increase in application numbers was 4.85 per cent, due to a rise in applications received from foreign applicants under international procedures (of 20.59 per cent), while other categories of applicant saw a slight decline of less than 1 per cent.
Regarding the registration of trademarks, a decrease of 5.72 per cent was observed. This trend has been noted both with regard to applications from foreign applicants, which have fallen by 5.3 per cent, and also applications from Russian applicants, which have seen a decline of 6.17 per cent, as well as in applications under the procedures of the Madrid Agreement or Protocol thereto, which have fallen by 4.7 per cent.
