Systems and Methods for Similarity and Context Measures for Trademark and Service Mark Analysis and Repository Searchess

A method of identifying similar trademarks from one or more repositories comprising:

• training a goods and services similarity engine to identify similarities between pairs of descriptions of goods or services in a corpus of training data that includes the descriptions of goods or services for registered trademarks and classes associated with the description of goods or services;
• receiving a trademark input string, a reference description of goods or services for the trademark input string, and a reference trademark class for the trademark input string and the reference description of goods or services;
• receiving a set of trademarks from the one or more repositories, the set of trademarks including registered trademarks, descriptions of goods or services associated with the registered trademarks, and trademark classes associated with the registered trademarks;
• generating, by the goods and services similarity engine, based on the training, a plurality of goods or services similarity values indicative of similarities between the reference description of goods or services and each of the descriptions of goods or services associated with each of the registered trademarks;
• and
• generating a presentation of at least a subset of the set of trademarks for a user via a graphical user interface, the presentation including graphics emphasizing the registered trademarks in the subset based, at least in part, on the plurality of goods or services similarity values.

A system of identifying similar trademarks from one or more repositories, the system comprising:

• one or more repositories storing trademarks and metadata associated with the trademarks;
• and
• a distributed server environment including servers operatively coupled to each other via a communication network, the servers being configured to interact with the one or more repositories to:
• train a goods and services similarity engine to identify similarities between pairs of descriptions of goods or services in a corpus of training data that includes the descriptions of goods or services for registered trademarks and classes associated with the description of goods or services;
• receiving a trademark input string, a reference description of goods or services for the trademark input string, and a reference trademark class for the trademark input string and the reference description of goods or services;
• receive a set of trademarks from the one or more repositories, the set of trademarks including registered trademarks, descriptions of goods or services associated with the registered trademarks, owners associated with the registered trademarks, countries associated with the registered trademarks, and trademark classes associated with the registered trademarks;
• generate, by the goods or services similarity engine, based on the training, a plurality of goods or services similarity values indicative of similarities between the reference description of goods or services and each of the descriptions of goods or services associated with each of the registered trademarks;
• and
• generate a presentation of at least a subset of the set of trademarks for a user via a graphical user interface, the presentation including graphics emphasizing the registered trademarks in the subset based, at least in part, on the plurality of goods or services similarity values.
