What this is
A floor on the share of Pokémon trademarks filed since 2016 in The Pokémon Company’s own name: about 5% of US filings seen, none in Australia or Britain.
How it’s built
- US: counted 2 filings by The Pokémon Company International (2016 and 2019) against 39 Nintendo-group Pokémon filings seen from 2017 to 2024; 2 of 41 is 4.9%.
- Australia: 9 records filed 2016 to 2026, all Nintendo. Britain: 5 records, all Nintendo. US international-route records: 6, all Nintendo of America.
What we assumed
- The filings found are a fair sample of all filings.They come from searches and owner-list pages that could be reached, not full registers, so the shares are floors on what was seen.
- Japan, Europe, China and Korea are left out.Japan's register could not be reached and the others were not obtained, so no share can be computed there.
Sanity check
The US share could move if more of either party's filings were found. The main risk is that unsearched registers, especially Japan's, tell a different story.
