STATISTICAL TABLES<br />

The following tables present the number of international<br />

registrations and renewals in 2013, together with the number<br />

of designs they contained. Only countries or Hague<br />

members indicated as origins or designated members in<br />

2013 are reported. This includes both Hague members<br />

and non-members. The inclusion of non-members reflects<br />

the possibility for applicants to claim entitlement in a<br />

Hague member country/region even if they are domiciled<br />

in a non-member state. For instance, applicants domiciled<br />

in the US can file an international registration if they<br />

have a commercial establishment in a Hague member<br />

country/region, for example, Switzerland. In such a case,<br />

the US is listed as the country of origin. However, the US<br />

cannot be designated on an international registration,<br />

because it is not a Hague member.<br />

Tables 1 and 2 report data by origin and designated<br />

member. Using Croatia as an example, the tables can be<br />

read as follows: applicants from Croatia filed 18 international<br />

registrations containing 27 designs. The IP office of<br />

Croatia was designated in 397 international registrations<br />

containing 1,884 designs.<br />
