1) The author is building a harmonized international trademark database by linking equivalent trademarks across national trademark office databases from different countries. 2) So far the database includes over 8 million trademarks from the US, Australia and New Zealand trademark offices spanning over 100 years. Additional country offices will be added. 3) The author developed an algorithm to identify equivalent trademarks across jurisdictions that uses trademark application data like text, filing date and classification to group likely equivalent trademarks. This algorithm is being improved further with machine learning techniques.
