A plain count of the times the name appears in the text of each annual report, not counting the start of a sentence. A brand that an owner writes about more is usually one it treats as central.
The USPTO record for the Tatcha mark lists TATCHA LLC as the owner of record (serial number 85689368). A trademark is often held by a group company rather than the listed parent, so the registrant's name can differ from the owner named above.[3]
