Poland: Watch out for counterfeits
This month's registered Community design round-up in OHIM's Alicante News features this blogger's home soil -- if you can see it beneath the snow -- of the United Kingdom.  Says the round-up:
"With over 35,000 registrations since 2004, the registered Community design is popular with UK undertakings [not so popular if you consider how many UK undertakings there are, and how many years it has taken to reach the 35,000 mark]. This year there have been almost 4,500 RCD filings with classes 9, 6 and 99 in highest demand. The majority of UK filers prefer the online route, with over 62% now using e-filing. However, mail accounts for 29% and around 9% continue to use fax".[It's not clear if this figure is taken over the period from 2004 or whether it is the current figure.  I haven't even seen a fax machine for months -- and I haven't seen that many postmen around either ...]
Main filers are as follows:

J. Choo Limited 817
Reckitt Benckiser (UK) Limited 405
Willis Gambier Ltd 369
Robert Welch Designs Ltd 365
Glaxo Group Limited 293
Reckitt & Colman (Overseas) Limited 275
Typhoon International Group Limited 217
Marks and Spencer plc 197
Mainetti (UK) Limited 194
Orla Kiely & D J Rowan 189

These filings represent not much less than 10% of the total.
