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

                Annual US trademark toteboard</a></li>
          </ul>

      </ul>
      <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>
