Applicants with Rhode Island addresses filed 505
applications to register trademarks with the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office (PTO) during the first half of 2013.
This represents a 9% decrease over the 553 trademark applications filed
during the first 6 months of 2012.
The top five RI filers during the first half of 2013 are
all consumer product or entertainment organizations, which is not
surprising. Hasbro led the way with 33
filings. The Big East Conference was
next with 27 filings, in support of its search for a new name and identity for the members who did not split off and retain the Big East name. Hasbro subsidiary Wizards of the Coast was
third with 18 filings, followed by CVS Pharmacy, Inc. (10 filings) and DécorCraft, Inc., the Providence-based consumer product design and distribution
company (8 filings).
