New Clarivate Report Reveals Dynamic Global Trademark Landscape, With Metaverse and NFT Trends Increasingly Driving Trademark Filing Activity

May 4, 2022 Published by Roboticulized.com

Clarivate Plc (NYSE:CLVT), a global leader in providing trusted information and insights to accelerate the pace of innovation, announced today a new report, Traversing the evolving trademark landscape: discover trends, challenges and opportunities through the lens of IP intelligence. According to the report, advances in the virtual world – the emergence of crypto-currency, the rise of the metaverse and surging popularity of non-fungible tokens (NFTs) – have helped propel Nice Class 9 (technology, computer hardware and software) filings from third place in 2011 to second by the end of 2021.

Since the first U.S. trademark application for NFTs was filed in August 2018, related trademark applications have soared over 9,000% and those for virtual goods or services increased 250% in 2021, according to Clarivate trademark research data. Brands from Louis Vuitton¹and Dolce and Gabbana, to Coca-Cola² and even the Australian Open tennis event,³ are experimenting with NFTs.

The report also finds that despite continued socio-economic uncertainty, worldwide trademark filing activity increased globally for the 10^th consecutive year. However, there was a notable exception to the overall rise in trademark filing activity in Class 10 (medical and diagnostic equipment), which fell 22% last year. This suggests that the flurry of commercial activity in response to the COVID-19 pandemic, particularly for masks or face coverings and other personal protective equipment, may have passed its peak.

Robert Reading, Head of Content Strategy, Clarivate said, “We live in a digital, hyper-connected and technologically advanced world where trends such as NFTs and the metaverse present both un-precedented opportunities and challenges to how intellectual property is created, managed and protected. Through the lens of trademark research intelligence, brands and organizations can better understand how to make confident business and brand decisions in a fast-evolving trademark landscape.”

Other key findings of the report include:

U.S. trademark applications for NFTs jumped almost seven-fold in the first two months of 2022.
Interest in the metaverse is driving a significant increase in applications using the term “Meta” and those for marks covering “virtual goods/services”.
Mainland China continues to power world trademark filing activity and made up almost 70% of global filing activity in 2021, followed by the United States (5%), India (3%), Brazil (3%) and South Korea (2%).
Mainland Chinese companies continue to dominate the list of top filers across multiple registers, accounting for five of the top ten filers – Xiaomi, Tencent, Alibaba, Huawei and Zhejiang Geely.
Nice Class 35 (retail, advertising, marketing and business services) dominated in Mainland China in 2021, similar to the worldwide trend. The alcoholic beverage sector in Mainland China experienced strong trademark filing growth, with Class 33 (alcoholic beverages excluding beer) seeing a 34% increase and Class 32 (beer and non-alcoholic beverages) up by 13% in 2021.
Despite a strong start and a record year for The United States Patent and Trademark Office (USPTO), filing volume steadily fell throughout 2021.
Mainland China was the source of 28% of all trademark applications filed at the USPTO in 2021, an increase of 4% from the previous year. Conversely, trademark applications from U.S. addresses fell by 3% in 2021.
The United Kingdom Intellectual Property Office (UKIPO) has been the fastest growing major trademark register in the world, growing 31% in 2020 and 38% in 2021.
South Korea ranks among the top five IP offices in the world, underlining its importance on the global IP stage. Trademark filing activity at the Korean Intellectual Property Office (KIPO) has been rising consistently and saw double digit year-on-year increases in filing volume between 2019 and 2021.

Reading concluded, “Organizations continue to face some of the most challenging business conditions today. Making informed brand decisions with certainty and speed to fuel progress and growth is getting harder. At Clarivate, we empower organizations with critical insights and IP management solutions that are designed to help them build and protect their most critical asset – their brand. In a world where organizations are operating in a borderless, highly competitive and increasingly online marketplace, curating and safeguarding unique and valuable brand identities will become ever more critical to business success.”

For instance, in January 2021, Infosys announced the launch of the Infosys Cortex, a customer engagement platform that leverages the technology from Genesys, a cloud contact center solutions provider, along with Contact Center AI and analytics services from Google Cloud.

Numerous CCaaS providers are entering into partnerships with communication companies to deploy contact center software and expand their reach.

Under the partnership, Welltel would offer Talkdesk cloud contact center solutions to Irish companies.

The COVID-19 pandemic is expected to have a positive impact on the market. As the pandemic situation continues, cloud-hosted contact centers are gaining more traction as it provides better levels of reliability, availability, and disaster recovery because agents can access the tools they need to perform the job from any place. Moreover, cloud-hosted contact centers provide better workforce elasticity for easily scalable solutions and faster deployment of new capabilities and technology solutions. However, the increasing concerns about data security are expected to hamper the market growth over the forecast period. CCaaS solutions handle huge data volumes and critical financial data of consumers, which could be at risk of malicious attacks.

Winner of Hogeman Speedrun Tournament Tesla Edition Goes Home with $55,000

May 3, 2022 Published by TheBlockchainExaminer.com

Virtual Pangea’s Discord channel was overflowing with excitement and adrenaline on Saturday, April 23, when ten players were competing live in Hogeman game Battle Royale grand finale for a Tesla Model 3 or $55,000 worth of Eth.

The three-hour event – hosted live on Youtube by Youmuus and streamed on Twitch by Lauren Burch – was the triumphal end to the Virtual Pangea’s three-month-long Hogeman Speedrun Tournament Tesla Edition, with the ten winners taking home $63.000 worth of prizes.

It was a true nail-biter of a race viewed by over 6,000 people, watching Bartek Polak (@Light1323) from Poland, winning the grand prize with an overall speed run game record time of 24 minutes and 10 seconds.

“The experience was amazing! As I was beating my previous scores, I felt nostalgia, adding the smallest details to improve by just milliseconds”, said Polak, the winner of the tournament. “Hogeman is fun to play, as long as you keep exploring and developing new strategies. I was nervous during the live event, but the fact that each of the ten players were winners of Virtual Pangea prizes made me just go for it and do my best…and it worked!”

Competition was tight, with second runner-up, Antons Fridrihs (@Thesviborg), Latvia, finishing with 24 minutes and 37 seconds and winning $3,000 worth of USDC, followed by PhD in Physics graduate Harley Rutherford (@MoodyTornado), Australia, finish third place with only a 10 second difference and a prize of $2,000 worth of USDC.

“Well done to all ten competitors for their game and their comradery. Our hard work of making this final event an enjoyable and thrilling experience for our audience and Hogeman Club members has paid off,” commented Dani Chear, CEO at Virtual Pangea. “We’re pleased with the outcome, seeing the social platforms attendance and interactions, the friendships that were made and the level of preparation and strategy the contestants had to put in when playing Hogeman.”

The Speedrun Tournament – Tesla Edition, started in the middle of January 2022, when Hogeman Club NFT owners got an exclusive invite to invest in one of the unique NFTs in the collection and try their skills at speed running through nine levels, while fighting one evil crypto boss at a time. The ten best times on the leaderboard, announced at the end of the tournament on April 15, qualified for Battle Royale.

Between April 15-23, the “fantastic ten” had a warm-up week to complete all nine levels and play their best times. On the day of Battle Royale each player had 10 minutes to beat the mighty InfluencerX boss in level nine, with the entire world watching them do this live.

The Speedrun Tournament Tesla Edition is the first in a series of Hogeman tournaments that aims to bring together 2D indie gaming powered by Web3 technology. Being the owner of one of the 760 NFTs in the Hogeman Club collection opens a world of possibilities and pre-events promotions that will include future gaming Hogeman tournaments.
