SYSTEM AND METHOD FOR DETERMINING ENTITIES BASED ON TRADEMARK PORTFOLIO SIMILARITY - Patent application

Abstract

Systems and methods are described for determining a second entity that has a trademark portfolio similar to that of a first entity. In an embodiment, a user submits a request to identify a first entity. A trademark portfolio generator compiles a trademark portfolio of the first entity by accessing a database of trademarks. A trademark portfolio analyzer analyzes characteristics of the trademark portfolio to form a trademark portfolio profile. A portfolio similarity score calculator determines a trademark portfolio similarity score by determining a similarity between the trademark portfolio profile of the first entity and the trademark portfolio profile of the second entity. In an embodiment, feature vectors for the trademark portfolio profiles of two or more entities are compared to generate a portfolio similarity score. A user interface presents the second entity to the user as an entity that has a trademark portfolio similar to that of the first entity based on the portfolio similarity score.
