Section BtrademarksB.6.6 Non-resident applications by filing routeAs pointed out before, non-resident trademark applicationscan be filed directly at national and regional IP offices(Paris route) or through the Madrid system. An applicationreceived by an office in the form of a designation via theMadrid system has the same effect as one received by anoffice directly from an applicant. Total non-resident filingactivity in terms of application class counts increased by10.5% from 2010 to 2011. When broken down by directand Madrid system routes, growth was 8.8% and 12.6%,respectively. The larger growth in Madrid designationsresulted in about a one percentage point increase (from46.6% to 47.5%) in their share of total non-residentapplications received by IP offices worldwide (FigureB.6.6.1). For all years listed, applications received in theform of Madrid designations represented around halfoff all non-resident applications filed globally. As not alloffices are members of the Madrid system, this figureis higher when comparing only Madrid members. In2011, 64% of all non-resident applications received byMadrid system member offices arrived in the form of aMadrid designation.Figure B.6.6.1 Non-resident applications by direct and Madrid system routesMadrid designationsDirect applicationsDistribution of Non-Residentdirect applications/Madrid designations10075502551.0 53.1 51.4 53.9 54.8 52.2 46.6 47.5Madrid share (%)02004 2005 2006 2007 2008 2009 2010 2011YearSource: WIPO Statistics Database, October <strong>2012</strong>Figure B.6.6.2 Non-resident applications by filing route for selected Madrid members, 2011Direct Non-ResidentMadrid Non-ResidentDirect Non-ResidentMadrid Non-Resident33.6 43.8 23.7 64.9 78.0 60.8 55.0 56.3 76.6 73.0144,424Madrid share (%): 201159.3 46.4 59.7 48.1 90.5 53.5 90.0 56.8 67.7 76.730,075Madrid share (%): 2011Application class count92,70369,576 61,29150,747 47,060 43,573 41,433 32,678 31,726Application class count24,84321,420 19,64317,294 17,131 16,026 15,71113,442 13,433ChinaUnited States of AmericaOHIMRussian FederationSwitzerlandJapan **AustraliaRepublic of KoreaTurkeyUkraine.
