Who the top filers of 2026 are
| Based in | Owners in the top 100 | Applications | Registered so far |
|---|---|---|---|
| United States | 51 | 4,151 | 3% |
| China, individuals | 30 | 1,917 | 25% |
| China, companies | 2 | 95 | 59% |
| Elsewhere | 17 | 1,267 | 9% |
30 of the top 100 are individual people with an address in China, not companies. Between them they filed 1,917 applications in 2026, often dozens each for invented words with no meaning in English. That pattern is typical of sellers who need a registered brand to sell on online marketplaces such as Amazon, where a trademark, even a pending application, unlocks brand protection tools. How this changed since 2016, and how these applications fare. 25% of their 2026 applications have registered so far, against 5% for the rest of the top 100: coined words rarely clash with an earlier mark, so they pass examination quickly.
71 of the 100 were not in the 2025 top 100; the highest-placed newcomers are OpenEvidence Inc. (4), Sun Guojun (10), Yang Guangning (12). The biggest climber is Glaxo Group Limited, from 92 to 2.
Counts are distinct applications with a filing date in 2026, up to 3 October 2026, 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.
