摘要：Though an important variety of intellectual property, trademarks are relatively neglected
by economists. Yet they may be the effect of creative activity and the cause of higher
retained incomes of firms, and by extension, host economies. A dataset of over 3,500
firms in three British regions and Ireland is analysed using measures for firm trademark
participation, total registrations and registrations per employee. The latter permits
evaluation of a trademark variant of the Schumpeterian hypothesis, namely that
commercial creative productivity rises with firm size. Comparisons are also made across
regions, industry sectors and according to the location of firm headquarters.
