To date, <a href="https://huski.ai/company/detail?name=DD-IP-HOLDER-LLC&amp;company_id=0x53b23a">DD IP Holder LLC</a> owns 163 trademarks related to Dunkin’ and is currently involved with 6 trademark litigations in federal court against a named 63 defendants.</p> <p>&nbsp;</p> <p>Doja Cat applied to register “It’s Giving” as federal trademark on an intent-to-use basis (<a href="https://huski.ai/trademark/IT'S%20GIVING-97060478">USPTO: 97060478</a>) in October 2021.

Unless Rolling Ray were using “It’s Giving” in conjunction with goods or services, it’s unlikely that he’ll have a strong trademark infringement claim against Doja Cat.

To claim that differentiation, we iron a brand to it: a unique identifier that represents itself. To grow those new things we’ve created, we market its brand. We’ve been doing this for about 5000 years, from the ancient Egyptian artisans to the modern Metaverse content creators. Branding activities have always been and will always be a centerpiece of innovation and culture.</p> <p id="652d" class="pw-post-body-paragraph sx sy rq in b sz ta fo tb tc td fr te tf tg th ti tj tk tl tm tn to tp tq tr gd gw">Currently, a brand could be a piece of text, an image, or a multimedia clip, which claims its uniqueness among others in the same domain and conveys its own ideas. Brand identity could appear in many forms online: product descriptions, social media posts, you name it, and the internet hosts a wealth of these brand images. When consumers view a brand’s image, they associate it with their preconceptions about the brand and how it compares to other brands. Successful branding creates positive relationships with consumers who carry a perception of the brand’s quality and trustworthiness. Creators want to know whether people feel good about their brand, whether there are copycats of their brand, whether they need to grow into new sectors, and so much more. However, the tools available today for brand creators to address those key questions are insufficient and short-term–like duct tape on a leaking pipe.</p> <p id="a9e4" class="pw-post-body-paragraph sx sy rq in b sz ta fo tb tc td fr te tf tg th ti tj tk tl tm tn to tp tq tr gd gw">This is why we focus on developing a search engine for branding activities.</p> <p class="pw-post-body-paragraph sx sy rq in b sz ta fo tb tc td fr te tf tg th ti tj tk tl tm tn to tp tq tr gd gw">&nbsp;</p> <h2 id="93bd" class="zf zg rq cg zh zi zj zk fp zl zm zn fs hx zo hy fv ib zp ic fy if zq ig gb zr gw"><strong>Challenges</strong></h2> <p id="67e6" class="pw-post-body-paragraph sx sy rq in b sz zt fo tb tc zu fr te tf zv th ti tj zw tl tm tn zx tp tq tr gd gw">Immediately, we’re facing a number of big technical challenges (existing tools are like duct tapes for a reason).</p> <p id="c197" class="pw-post-body-paragraph sx sy rq in b sz ta fo tb tc td fr te tf tg th ti tj tk tl tm tn to tp tq tr gd gw"><strong class="in fm">Data Challenges</strong>. We need a scalable data infrastructure to gather branding information. Our goal is bold and simple: our dataset should be large and specific enough to answer the following questions.</p> <ol class=""> <li id="f7bf" class="wt acu rq in b sz ta tc td tf acv tj acw tn acx tr acy acz aea aeb gw">How many brands are there in the whole world? How do they differentiate their brand image from others and convey their unique message? Which companies own them and what do they do?

We must reach the far corners of the web to gather image, text, and multimedia data that are suitable. In addition to domain-specific data sources, we need to harvest information from the vast expanse of the web and establish our own standardized, dynamic, and heterogeneous dataset. This process is like getting the berries out clean from a chantilly cake. Precision and scalability are key.</p> <figure class="tt tu tv tw qs sq gz ha paragraph-image"> <div class="gz ha aeh wysiwyg-text-align-center"><img class="dq sv sw" src="https://miro.medium.com/max/1220/1*-2UJBKAI8UREkgtdPqI_bw.png" alt="" width="610" height="298"></div> </figure> <p id="5286" class="pw-post-body-paragraph sx sy rq in b sz ta fo tb tc td fr te tf tg th ti tj tk tl tm tn to tp tq tr gd gw"><strong class="in fm">Algorithmic Challenges</strong>.

Usually, object detection or recognition models deal with class numbers ranging from 1 ~ 1000. For example, in autonomous driving, the models are taught to recognize 20~30 traffic objects. In the great benchmark of MS COCO, there are 80 classes and 1K classes in the ImageNet. In our case, there are more than 1 million brands that appear in pictorial forms in the US alone. Moreover, it’s even difficult to collect enough training instances of them, let alone labeling a significant part of them. The table below summarizes the class explosion challenge.</li> </ol> <figure class="tt tu tv tw qs sq gz ha paragraph-image"> <div class="gz ha aej wysiwyg-text-align-center"><img class="dq sv sw" src="https://miro.medium.com/max/1196/1*Gcdagi1RxIyRPp6itVLvmA.png" alt="" width="598" height="380"></div> </figure> <p id="f663" class="pw-post-body-paragraph sx sy rq in b sz ta fo tb tc td fr te tf tg th ti tj tk tl tm tn to tp tq tr gd gw">2. Object Variety in Branding Images. First, there could be image/text hybrid, or even language hybrids. Second, the objects could be really abstract. Third, there could be distortion, angling, different lighting conditions, complex backgrounds, and so on. The model needs to be reliable against all of these conditions.</p> <figure class="tt tu tv tw qs sq gz ha paragraph-image"> <div class="gz ha aek wysiwyg-text-align-center"><img class="dq sv sw" src="https://miro.medium.com/max/846/0*VWhd1O7K89hAqaqx" alt="" width="423" height="468"></div> </figure> <p id="d59a" class="pw-post-body-paragraph sx sy rq in b sz ta fo tb tc td fr te tf tg th ti tj tk tl tm tn to tp tq tr gd gw">3. Appearance Variety per Brand. As it shows below, one brand concept could appear in a variety of forms. The concept is the same, however, the appearances could vary dramatically. The model must learn the fundamental themes of a brand’s concepts instead of colors or textures — as the majority of the pretrained benchmark models do.</p> <figure class="tt tu tv tw qs sq gz ha paragraph-image"> <div class="sr ss cj st dq su"> <div class="gz ha ael wysiwyg-text-align-center"><img class="dq sv sw" src="https://miro.medium.com/max/1400/0*DZPSLtb2AUfXqv6N" alt="" width="700" height="321"><em><span class="wysiwyg-font-size-medium">Brand Recognition in Text</span></em></div> </div> </figure> <p id="5b11" class="pw-post-body-paragraph sx sy rq in b sz ta fo tb tc td fr te tf tg th ti tj tk tl tm tn to tp tq tr gd gw">Goal: Detect any mentions about a brand, its products, and the product features in any given text.</p> <p id="0819" class="pw-post-body-paragraph sx sy rq in b sz ta fo tb tc td fr te tf tg th ti tj tk tl tm tn to tp tq tr gd gw">Challenges</p> <ol class=""> <li id="6f09" class="wt acu rq in b sz ta tc td tf acv tj acw tn acx tr acy acz aea aeb gw">Context Matters. The majority of English words are actually registered brand marks. However, when we use the words, we don’t always refer to their branding meanings. Therefore, simple word matching would never work. Here is an example. (<strong class="in fm">brand</strong>, <strong class="in fm">product</strong>, and product <strong class="in fm">feature</strong> being labeled with red, green, and blue respectively.)</li> </ol> <figure class="tt tu tv tw qs sq gz ha paragraph-image"> <div class="sr ss cj st dq su"> <div class="gz ha aem wysiwyg-text-align-center"><img class="dq sv sw" src="https://miro.medium.com/max/1148/1*M7I7sY_WKYd6-2tNSaKNbQ.png" alt="" width="574" height="97"></div> <div class="gz ha aem wysiwyg-text-align-center"><em><span class="wysiwyg-font-size-medium">Branded words under different contexts.</span></em></div> </div> </figure> <p id="b967" class="pw-post-body-paragraph sx sy rq in b sz ta fo tb tc td fr te tf tg th ti tj tk tl tm tn to tp tq tr gd gw">2. Grammar Sometimes Does Not Matter. Especially in the eCommerce domain, a product title could be literally written as “<em class="nl">chicago dogs zephyr patron hot dog grey adjustable strapback cap</em>”, which breaks the majority of NLP models trained with normal grammar sentences.</p> <p id="93cc" class="pw-post-body-paragraph sx sy rq in b sz ta fo tb tc td fr te tf tg th ti tj tk tl tm tn to tp tq tr gd gw">3. Abbreviations are everywhere. For example, one could write “<em class="nl">my new NB shoes are very comfortable. It says it only weighs 10 oz. Crazy</em>!” Our model must learn the different names, including slang, of a brand in order to gather all instances of a brand’s usage.</p> <p id="28a1" class="pw-post-body-paragraph sx sy rq in b sz ta fo tb tc td fr te tf tg th ti tj tk tl tm tn to tp tq tr gd gw"><strong class="in fm">Infrastructure Challenges</strong>. A comprehensive knowledge graph that provides insight into all brands, their products, and related companies is still in the works. Currently, Huski supports the largest knowledge graph in the field. However, there are millions of brand images that appear in image or text forms. There are also billions of products. All those entities form a graph with edges representing all kinds of relations that are consistently changing and growing. Being able to build and maintain such a dynamic knowledge graph and support low latency queries (e.g. 200ms) is another challenge to our data infrastructure.</p> <p id="64bb" class="pw-post-body-paragraph sx sy rq in b sz ta fo tb tc td fr te tf tg th ti tj tk tl tm tn to tp tq tr gd gw"><strong class="in fm">Last but not least, we are a startup</strong>. It goes without saying that we need to be smart about solving all the above challenges while staying on budget.

We’ve found a way, without labeling any data, to reliably detect over 3,000,000 textual brands in texts. Our model recognizes the brand name, the product, and the product features in common English or product titles or descriptions. The model uses a new paradigm — named entity recognition with entailment learning — to classify brands. It also recognizes the context so that it wouldn’t blindly treat every word as “brand” simply because they appeared in a “brand mark database”. A few examples are as follows. (Color code: brand /product /product features)</p> <figure class="tt tu tv tw qs sq gz ha paragraph-image"> <div class="gz ha aeq wysiwyg-text-align-center"><img class="dq sv sw" src="https://miro.medium.com/max/1114/1*jF-W4P7lxOqn4UfnixAS2w.png" alt="" width="557" height="78"></div> </figure> <p id="44d6" class="pw-post-body-paragraph sx sy rq in b sz ta fo tb tc td fr te tf tg th ti tj tk tl tm tn to tp tq tr gd gw">3.
