The total number of “Blockchain” and “Cryptocurrency” mentions within live trademark — referring to active ones that have not been abandoned — were 2646 and 2382, respectively.
“Bitcoin,” “Initial Coin Offering,” and “Ethereum” all fall below 500 mentions each as analyzed in the chart above by The Block’s Steven Zheng.
The figures are based on a database from the Trademark Electronic Search System (TESS) created by the United States Patent and Trademark Office (USPTO). The USPTO database allows viewers to search for all current and previously registered trademarks within its platform.
