<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11.0pt">Analysis Group has closed the survey for trademark owners, actual registrants, and potential registrants on 28 September. Since the target response rates have been reached for these three groups, Analysis
Group begins their process compiling/analyzing the survey responses. In particular, we greatly appreciate the help from WG members, especially Lori, Susan, Marie, Brian W, and others who helped promote the survey among the trademark owners and representatives.
To attain the target response rates for actual/potential registrants, Research Now SSI has been instrumental, as the great majority of responses came from their global panel.

and the reminder have been circulated via the mailing lists of RrSG and RySG. We also thank the help from WG members (e.g., Kristine, Maxim, etc.) for completing/promoting the survey.
