From Table 1, below, it is clear that the overall number of trademark registration applications filed in the Russian Federation in 2011 rose in comparison to 2010. The overall increase in application numbers was 5.04 per cent, mainly due to a 9.75 per cent rise in applications received from foreign applicants, while the number of applications filed under the procedures of the Madrid Agreement or Protocol thereto also rose, by 12.55 per cent.
Regarding the registration of trademarks, an increase of 2.2 per cent has been observed. This is negligible given the trend noted with regard to applications from foreign applicants, which have increased by 30.41 per cent, with a particularly significant increase regarding applications under the procedures of the Madrid Agreement or Protocol thereto (which have more than doubled), whereas there has been a noticeable drop of 18.92 per cent in applications from Russian applicants.
