On the price elasticity of demand for trademarks

Author

Listed:

Abstract

This paper provides econometric estimates of the fee elasticity of demand for international trademarks. The analysis focuses on monthly trademark applications submitted to the World Intellectual Property Organization (WIPO). The elasticity ranges from -0.31 to -0.42, which is in a similar range to the fee elasticity of demand for patents.
