NFT and blockchain-related trademarks filed in the US surpass 6,000 in 2022, 3x 2021 figure
Non-fungible tokens (NFTs) and blockchain technology are at the forefront of a trend that is seeing major parts of the cryptocurrency market become increasingly leveraged by companies and individuals seeking to interact with their audience in more ways. Indeed, NFT and blockchain-related trademarks in the United States surpassed 6,000 from January 1 until September 30.
Interestingly, the 2021 total was 2,142, just under three times less than this year’s nine months. As for 2022, the most productive month was March, when 1,080 new NFT trademarks were registered. Since then, there has been a gradual decline each month, with September recording the lowest number of applications (43%), as per U.S. Patent and Trademark Office (USPTO). It is worth noting that in mid-February, Finbold reported that the number of NFT trademark applications in the US in 2021 stood at 1,263; meanwhile, just three trademark applications were filed in 2020.
