2 Methodology The NameProtect Trademark Insider is developed through analysis of public trademark filings data compiled by the United States Patent and Trademark Office (PTO) and maintained in NameProtect's global trademark data center. Data Integrity In order to ensure the integrity and accuracy of the law firm and company rankings presented herein, NameProtect employs the following data integrity practices: 1) Collection. As a trademark services provider, NameProtect collects and aggregates PTO and other trademark filing data from around the world, which is maintained in electronic form in the Company's trademark data center. 2) Normalization. In order to create this report, data from numerous fields within the PTO data set is normalized and parsed for detailed aggregation and analysis. 3) Scrubbing. Misspellings and other data errors are a common and significant problem throughout much of the PTO's data. This is particularly true within the highly relevant "Applicant" and "Correspondent" fields, in which the legal representative for each trademark filing is recorded (for example, it is not uncommon to find top law firm and company names spelled in many different variations). In order to ensure an accurate count of law firm and company filings for our rankings, NameProtect employs significant technological and human capital to "clean-up" misspellings, transpositions and other errors in these data fields. ings Process Law firms, attorneys and companies are ranked by the total number of new trademark applications submitted to the PTO during the applicable time period. Each application is counted as one filing, regardless of the type of application (i.e., single class versus multiple class). Law firms, companies and individual attorneys are given credit for the trademark filing if they are identified in the correspondent field of the initial application. Importantly, subsequent amendments to the correspondent data are not analyzed as part of NameProtect's standard analysis but may be considered on a case by case basis as part of our pre-publication review process. We feel this bright-line approach, which gives credit to the entity actually filing the trademark application, provides the most accurate measure of trademark application activity. Pre-Publication Review Upon request, NameProtect is happy to offer any attorney, law firm or company the opportunity to review our rankings prior to publication. Interested parties may submit a request for pre-publication review to the Trademark Insider editors at tminsider@nameprotect.com.

4 OVERVIEW From the Editor Welcome to the third quarter edition of NameProtect's Trademark Insider, a quarterly publication that tracks the U.S. Trademark Industry and its leading law firms, companies and practitioners. CONTINUED GROWTH The year 2004 continues to impress. With third quarter filings in the book, we see more strong growth in the U.S.Trademark Industry. In what continues to look like a banner year for trademark practitioners, third quarter numbers came in at 61,689 filings, which represents an increase of more than 9% over the third quarter of. Year to date filings through Q3 are also up significantlyapproximately 13%-over levels. (A full breakout of quarterly trademark filings since 1997 begins on page 8). Unless the industry badly stumbles in the final quarter of the year, 2004 will be the third best year in the history of the industry, with only the bubble years of 1999 and 2000 logging more trademark filings. MOVERS & SHAKERS Our standard law firm and company rankings for the third quarter Unless the industry badly stumbled begin on page 3. In contrast to the stability we experienced in the top law in the final quarter of the year, 2004 firm rankings in 2002 and, this year's top firm rankings continue to will be the third best year in the history show great diversity. Pillsbury Winthrop moved into the top spot for the of the industry, with only the bubble years of 1999 and 2000 logging more third quarter, an impressive jump from their annual ranking from trademark filings. (#22), due in large part to the 100+ filings submitted by attorney James Menker. Kenyon & Kenyon also had a very strong third quarter, moving into the third spot for the quarter and the top 10 in our year to date firm rankings. The biggest third quarter mover was Winthrop & Weinstine, moving up 58 spots from their Q ranking (market movers are highlighted on page 7). As to the company rankings (which begin on page 5), Mattel maintained its perennial #1 spot in both the third quarter and year-to-date rankings.
