    <p>And if you are a member of some other listserv for patent
      practitioners (e.g. the AIPLA patents committee) I invite you to
      forward this so that hopefully most patent practitioners will get

        <p>Hello readers.  It is now 2025 and this means it is time to
          get in your numbers for the 2024 toteboards:</p>

        <p>The goal is to recognize and rank law firms in the US based
          upon the numbers of US design patents, US utility patents, US
          plant patents, and US trademark registrations each firm
          obtained for clients in 2024.</p>
        <p>The questionnaires will close on Friday, February 14, 2025.</p>
        <p>Every year after I post the results of the toteboards, I get
          sad emails from firms that want me to accept their numbers
          late.  This would, of course, typically result in kicking
          other firms down in the rankings \u2014 other firms that got their
          numbers in on time.  Please help to reduce the number of such
          sad emails that I will receive this year.  Maybe you are a
          person at your firm who is responsible for getting these
          numbers in.  If so, please get your numbers in!  Otherwise,
          please forward this blog posting to somebody at your firm to
          make sure that somebody at your firm gets the numbers in for
          your firm.</p>
