45 of the 100 were not in the 2002 top 100; the highest-placed newcomers are Deutsche Telekom AG (5), UNITED STATES POSTAL SERVICE (16), MGA ENTERTAINMENT INC. (18). The biggest climber is WAL-MART STORES, INC., from 100 to 12.

Counts are distinct applications with a filing date in 2003, grouped by the owner name and address on record, so one business filing under several names appears more than once. "Registered" means a registration has issued. Source: USPTO daily trademark files.
