Cross, G. R. and Sirjani, A., A System That Reasons About Trademark Infringement, invited paper, Proceedings of the 4th International Conference on the Theme Law and Computers, Session V, 11(1-12), Rome, May 1988.

Abstract: We are building a computer system that contains a database of trademarks and reasons about their similarity to assess possible infringement. The systems consists of a database of pictorial trademarks, word-marks, and information about products and corporations. We describe our progress in indexing and describing pictorial trademarks, comparing word-marks for similarity, and generating natural language explanations of similarity.
