PERSPECTIVES

<img src="/hc/article_attachments/9826538227097/___1.png" alt="___1.png">   Twitter users were quick to call out rapper Doja Cat’s new clothing line for using imagery similar to popular brands, including Dunkin’ Donuts and more.   Doja Cat recently announced the launch of her new clothing line “It’s Giving” with a short promotional video on Twitter.   <blockquote class="twitter-tweet"> And it’s all yours 🫠 <a href="https://t.co/o3nrl8abyL" target="_blank" rel="noopener">https://t.co/o3nrl8abyL</a> <a href="https://t.co/okL7GhmH0F" target="_blank" rel="noopener">pic.twitter.com/okL7GhmH0F</a> — my fault lol (@DojaCat) <a href="https://twitter.com/DojaCat/status/1560323097466523648?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw" target="_blank" rel="noopener">August 18, 2022</a></blockquote>   Twitter users were quick to call out the rapper’s font and color choices for being reminiscent of iconic Dunkin’ branding.

To date, <a href="https://huski.ai/company/detail?name=DD-IP-HOLDER-LLC&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.   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. The application was filed as a standard character mark, with no claims to any particular font style, size, or color. Hopefully this choice will help the artist to steer clear of costly and time-consuming trademark infringement suits.     It appears that the singer was already in hot water over the ownership of “It’s Giving”, <a href="https://www.blackenterprise.com/doja-cats-new-clothing-line-its-giving-is-causing-controversy-on-twitter/">receiving criticism</a> for using a phrase allegedly made popular by LGBTQ influencer Rolling Ray. 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. That said, this controversy does evoke important conversations regarding originality and who has the right to claim, protect, and enforce it.   -- Tessa Molnar August 23, 2022

It’s Giving Controversy: Doja Cat, Donuts, and Trademarks

Twitter users were quick to call out rapper Doja Cat’s new clothing line for using imagery similar to popular brands, including Dunkin’ Donuts and more. Doja Cat recently announced the launch of her new clothing line “It’s Giving” with a short promotional video on Twitter. And it’s all ...

More specifically, his code unveils the insights.   Jiawei is an <a href="https://cs.ucdavis.edu/directory/jiawei-zhang" target="_blank" rel="noopener">assistant professor</a> in the Department of Computer Science at the University of California, Davis. He founded the <a href="http://www.ifmlab.org/index.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener">IFM Lab</a> in 2017, and has been working as the director since then. His research focus has been on graph neural networks, graph mining, recommender systems, natural language processing, social networks mining and neuroscience, and has published papers in top conferences and journals, including AAAI, IJCAI, KDD, WWW, ICDE, SIGIR, EMNLP.   During his summer visit at Huski AI, we had the chance to discuss tons of interesting ideas and research initiatives. He also helped us discover the first batch of insights within the trademark application data (a lot of computing power went in there too).   To spark further collaborations between Huski and academia, we let Jiawei weigh in on a few related topics. Below is our conversation with him.       </div> The “basic” questions:     Q: Tell us about yourself. Who are you, what do you do, what’s your background?   A: Currently, I’m an assistant professor of the computer science department at UC Davis. I obtained my PhD degree on Computer Science from University of Illinois at Chicago in 2017, and have been working at the academia since then.       Q: What are your specialties?   A: I have a special interest in analyzing data to discovery some hidden patterns and insights. My research is focused on AI, data mining and machine learning. So, my research and work is closely related to data and AI models.       Q: How would you describe what you do to your peers?   A: A researcher, an educator, and a writer.       Q: How would you describe what you do to a grandparent?   A: A teacher to assign students homework…       Q: Do you have any background in intellectual property?   A: Not really, the currently AI community loves to open-source and want to share their works freely to the community to push the technology to develop faster. But I’m interested in learning more about IP and related protection laws, so I can project my IP with commercial values in the future.       Q: What made you interested in joining us for the summer?   A: Two reasons. First, the CTO Guan of Huski.ai is my previous colleague, I know he is working on a startup for about two years. I’m very interested in how startup company runs and want to learn more about how young entrepreneurs manage their first startup. Second, I’m also interested in the data available at Huski.ai. I heard from Guan that they have millions of trademark data, and there will be lots of opportunities to utilize such large-scale data to mining useful insights with high impacts. So, I applied to have a short-term of visit at Huski to see if I can help with any data related projects.       Q: What’s been your favorite part about working with us so far?   A: I really enjoy the tech-driven working environment at Huski.ai, people here are very friendly and they are really into to utilizing AI technology to change the world. I feel it is very different from universities, at Huski.ai we are using the technology to do things with high impacts, and we can also see the results and changes to the world more directly.       Q: Why do you think IP is important?   A: According to my understanding, IP protection and innovation are strongly related. People and company will create new innovations, new technology and new products, if their IP will be protected by the law. Without IP protection, we probably will not have iPhone, no Facebook, no Tesla, etc.       Q: Why what's interesting about Huski data?   A: The data at Huski actually can reveal many interest insights about the commercial trends. According to the data, we can observe the changing of trademark applications in recent years, also we can see some new technology and products created in recent years.       Q: What's the exciting insights you discovered so far?   A: For instance, according to our current analysis, we observe that in the recent 3 years, the application of trademarks about cryptocoin and NFT (non-fungible token) increases a lot, we also observe that since Facebook is renamed to Metaverse, lots of trademark applications on virtual reality and augmented reality appears. Of course, we also see lots of companies are applying trademarks on masks due to the Covid-19 issues.       Q: How should Huski collaborate better with academia?   A: For the collaboration, I think Huski can collaborate with universities to create some programs to allow college students to use the resources and data at Huski to work on their projects. The data at Huski is very valuable and will also help the students gain better understandings about IP, trademarks, and also analyze the trends and insights. Also probably Huski.ai can also try to create some research challenges to call for the proposals, submissions and solutions from the academia for the open problems to be addressed at Huski. Of course, Huski can also try to hire the top talents of the challenges as the interns to get them involved into the projects at Huski.ai.       The “fun” questions:   We won’t do all of these in the real interview, just the most fun ones. Answer whichever of these you’d like, or feel free to share something else that’s more interesting.       Q: What did you want to be when you grew up?   A: Originally, I planned to be an entrepreneur to create my own company that can change the world, just like Huski.ai. I still have that dream right now and probably will try to work it out.       Q: If you couldn’t work in computer science anymore, what would you do?   A: I probably will get a new degree about movie production to be a director, and try to make a movie that can reflect our current world, like Nomadland a few years ago…       Q: If you suddenly won $10 million, what would you do?   A: Probably, first buy a house at the bay area, then take a long-break to have some trips to places I cannot go. And also spend the rest on either my own startup or on my first movie.       Q: Describe your dream vacation:   A: At a deserted island, with my family, no cell-phones or computers, just reading, cooking and enjoying the peaceful time together.       Q: What’s something most people wouldn’t guess about you?   A: I used to have long-hair for more than two years since the covid, now I have my hair cut and donated to the wigs for kids.       Q: What’s your go-to coffee shop order?   A: I know may people like to drive coffee, actually I’m more like a tea lover. I used to drink tea all day long, but now my parents cannot mail new teas to me anymore due to the covid issues.       Q: Would you ever want to be famous?   A: Sometimes, sometimes I really want to promote my works to the people or get more resources to work on something out, I hope I’m famous so I can get it done easily. But for most of the time, I prefer enjoy the peaceful lives and so I can focus more on thinking deeper questions instead.       Q: Do you have any cool hobbies or talents?   A: I really like to design and make robots at my spare time, and try to make it work. I also spend lots of time to watch different kinds of movies and reading lots of novel books about history and culture, it is lots of fun.       Q: Favorite place you ever lived?   A: Probably Shanghai and Chicago, very different places with different weather and culture. I like the city life, it is much fun for young people and it is also very convenient to get everything I may need.       Q: Do you have any pets?   A: I used to have two cats when I was young, but no I have no pets since I travel a lot and it is very hard to take care of them. In the future, I probably plan to have two cats again after I finally decide to settle down at a place.       You can also watch the full interview for Jiawei conducted by our very own Tessa Molnar in <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2N5PUWH1nv0" target="_blank" rel="noopener">this video</a> (and learn more fun facts about Jiawei)

Meet the man behind the first wave of Huski Insights

There is a treasure chest of economic insights that resides within trademark application data. At Huski AI, we're excited to leverage our unparalleled expertise in AI and Big Data to work on such knowledge discovery and share it with the community. Recently, we shared the Trending Topics in...

<img src="/hc/article_attachments/8050447946009/Direction01.png" alt="Direction01.png"> The problems trademark attorneys are facing are well-documented, from the surge in trademark applications in 2020 and 2021 that resulted in a backlog of <a href="https://www.managingip.com/article/b1xwgkq7x8rjjr/inta-2022-vidal-says-administration-believes-in-strong-ip">544,000 unexamined classes at the USPTO</a> to trade in fake goods now representing a <a href="https://www.oecd.org/newsroom/trade-in-fake-goods-is-now-33-of-world-trade-and-rising.htm">$509-billion-dollar</a> industry. Online trademark infringement is a growing problem, with the high volume of occurrence being one of the greatest obstacles in pursuing legal action1,2.  There are many intelligent and thoughtful discussions taking place on how to address these challenges, and we’ve observed that many of the written pieces conclude with thoughts about how, in conjunction with other efforts, frontier technologies like AI may be able to assist.   We hope that by offering an overview of the existing and emerging solutions in the trademark law and brand protection ecosystem, we can enable IP professionals to assist their clients to the best of their abilities.  <img src="/hc/article_attachments/8043005622041/Landscape.png" alt="Landscape.png"> <h2> </h2> <h2>1. “Search & Watch” vs. “Brand Protection”  </h2> A Historical Divide  Up through the late 2010s, most of the technology for trademark clearance and enforcement had been segmented into two distinct groups of solutions:  <ol> <li>Search & Watch  </li> <li>Brand Protection  </li> </ol> “Search & Watch” solutions offered trademark clearance search services and the ability to watch or monitor new trademark applications for potential conflicts. These services are incredibly helpful in helping attorneys to secure and maintain the relevant IP rights for their clients, but these solutions don’t assist with protecting trademarks in use. As a result, a new category of “Brand Protection” tools began to emerge to fill this gap.   Table 1. IP technology vendors' founding focus <img src="/hc/article_attachments/8048967370649/Table1.png" alt="Table1.png"> From the start, most companies focused on only one of these two verticals, although that changed quickly in the late 2010s with a series of rapid acquisitions.     Target Markets   Generally speaking, “Search & Watch” solutions have been marketed to all lawyers and law firms, while Brand Protection tools have historically been offered directly to brand owners or their in-house counsel, not to law firms.   While we can only speculate, we believe that there are two possible reasons for this divide. First, it could be a purely commercial decision. There are more brand owners than there are IP lawyers who work in law firms, which could potentially make targeting this market more lucrative. There is also the possibility that this is a function of cost. If pricing is structured on a per trademark model, the costs would very quickly skyrocket for lawyers who manage trademark portfolios of multiple clients, not just single brands.   What we do know for sure is that many law firms – even sophisticated litigation practices – are allocating human resources to manually searching for possible instances of infringement online and recording the evidence with screenshots and saved links when they would much rather employ some forms of automation.   However, as startups have entered the space and acquisitions have accelerated in recent years, the general trends are starting to change as more and more vendors seek to offer more comprehensive solutions to better help their clients.      <h2>2. Big players have big appetites: 28 acquisitions and related activities over 5 years </h2> Between 2017 and June 2022, three of the biggest players in the IP ecosystem – <a href="https://clarivate.com/">Clarivate</a>, <a href="https://corsearch.com/">Corsearch</a>, and <a href="https://www.questel.com/">Questel</a> – were involved in 24 acquisitions, 2 partnerships, 1 collaboration, and 1 investment.   <img src="/hc/article_attachments/8049043637017/Table2.png" alt="Table2.png"> <img src="/hc/article_attachments/8042470630297/Timeline.png" alt="Timeline.png"> These acquisitions speak to the providers’ ambitions of becoming comprehensive, end-to-end providers in the IP space, with each company having a slightly different take on what that means; Questel’s acquisitions were mostly focused on expanding their patent and portfolio offerings, Clarivate’s acquisitions were mostly focused on the data and analytics space, and Corsearch’s acquisitions were focused on making gains in the online brand and content protection space.       <h2>3. Brand protection throughout the entire trademark lifecycle </h2> Corsearch alone acquired 6 companies and partnered with another 2 in less than 3 years, reflecting a broader industry trend of Search & Watch providers starting to enter the Brand Protection space.   Other vendors have also taken steps to offer more comprehensive services. For example, <a href="https://www.questel.com/tradermak/asset-management-software/markify-brand-monitoring/">Markify</a> quietly entered the eCommerce infringement detection space following their acquisition by Questel earlier this year; however, their monitoring services are text-only at this time.   Table 2. Search & Watch providers start to enter the Brand Protection space <img src="/hc/article_attachments/8049140832025/Table02.png" alt="Table02.png"> Then in 2022, a new vendor emerged from the Silicon Valley called <a class="Hyperlink SCXW241835760 BCX9" href="https://huski.ai/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Huski</a>. Huski was founded by engineers who are image recognition experts who abandoned working on self-driving cars to join an IP litigator in building a new solution for trademark and brand protection. From the start, Huski offered both Search & Watch and Brand Protection services, as well as native image recognition technology.        <h2>4. A continued focus on image recognition technology  </h2> Image recognition technology is still a challenge for many vendors, especially when entering the eCommerce space. The more distorted an image becomes compared to the original, the harder it is for a computer to recognize it, as is shown below:   <img src="/hc/article_attachments/8049181247001/image_15.png" alt="image_15.png"> In 2013, the first image-based trademark search engine was released by an Australian company called TrademarkVision.   Table 3. Search & Watch solutions providers embrace image recognition technology  <img src="/hc/article_attachments/8049239084825/Table3.png" alt="Table3.png"> Clarivate took interest, and in 2017, CompuMark released TM go365™ image search, powered by TrademarkVision. TrademarkVision was then officially acquired by Clarivate the next year.   Other companies soon followed suit. It’s harder to precisely date when Corsearch first integrated image recognition into their offerings, but their marketing materials and <a href="https://corsearch.com/knowledge-base/news/article/logo-detection-brand-risk-insights/">blog posts</a> suggest that it became a focus in 2020, following the acquisition of Pointer Brand Protection at the beginning of the year. <a href="https://www.markify.com/services/image-based-trademark-search.html">Markify</a> then released their own image-based trademark search in May of 2020. Eleven months later, Corsearch released LogoCheck™, a self-service search tool for screening logos. In January 2022, <a href="https://www.foveaip.com/en/index.php">Fovea IP</a> merged with <a href="https://ipsensus.com/">IPSensus</a> for their image recognition capabilities. At this same time, <a href="https://huski.ai/">Huski</a> was successfully completing some final quality assurance benchmarks before going to market. By the official launch in February 2022, Huski’s self-taught model was able to reliably detect over 1,000,000 pictorial brands (logos, design marks) in real-life images, even in very challenging contexts.       <h2>5. Self-service and affordability go hand-in-hand  </h2> As technology advances enough for better image recognition technology, there’s more opportunity to make trademark clearance and watching more accessible without sacrificing quality. While some providers continue to offer “expert search services,” advancements in AI are enabling attorneys to run high-quality searches on their own.    Table 4. Emergence of self-service trademark clearance and screening tools for attorneys  <img src="/hc/article_attachments/8049405080601/Table5.png" alt="Table5.png"> Even the most skeptical and careful attorneys see the value in self-screening before paying hundreds or thousands of dollars for a full search.  In addition to the established providers entering the self-service search space, many of the new players entering the arena are offering their services at substantially reduced rates thanks to technical advancements. For example, the newest provider, Huski offers unlimited text and image searching for as little as $299 per month. These savings are substantial, considering that a single-class US design search can cost anywhere from $100-$1,000+ with other providers. The promotion of efficient and cost-effective services is an important step forward in improving access to legal services and bettering the IP system for all players.      Disclaimer: This piece is in no way intended to be conclusive, all-encompassing, or the only possible analysis of the industry. It is also not intended to be disparaging of any service providers; we firmly believe that everyone has much to learn from one another about how to make IP better.

The official name of the Act is the Stopping Harmful Offers on Platforms by Screening Against Fakes in E-commerce Act. While the bill has not moved much in Congress yet, rumors are that some in Congress are planning to add this Act to the bipartisan Endless Frontier Act, a technology infrastructure bill already passed in the Senate and could become law in the foreseeable future. If the plan to bundle with The Endless Frontier Act succeeds, it could soon create an earthshaking shock to online marketplaces like Amazon, eBay, or the likes.   What does the Shop Safe Act do? It would amend the Trademark Act of 1946 to give certain e-commerce platforms contributory liability when counterfeits are sold. Liability would apply for counterfeit products that pose a health risk. Under the current law, e-commerce platforms are rarely liable for counterfeit products sold by third parties. However, under the Shop Safe Act, if counterfeit products sold by a third-party seller on the platform pose a health risk to consumers, the trademark owner or customer can hold the e-commerce platform liable for allowing the counterfeit. Given the phenomenal growth in e-commerce during the pandemic and growing online counterfeiting problems, e-commerce platforms could soon be hit with overwhelming counterfeit lawsuits and liabilities if they are not adequately prepared for it.   Liability will be huge for e-commerce platforms under the Shop Safe Act. A court can grant statutory damages between $1000 and $200,000 even in a case without an actual sale of the accused counterfeit products. The damage awards could go up to 2 million dollars if the infringement is found to be willful. Given the significant number of counterfeiting products, damages against e-commerce platforms for non-compliance with the Shop Safe Act could rise astronomically in a short period.   The Shop Safe Act does provide a way out for e-commerce platforms if the third-party seller in question is available to be served a lawsuit in the U.S or the platforms do the following:   (1) required the third-party seller to have a registered agent or a verified address for service of process in the United States; (2) verified the seller’s identity and contact information; (3) required as a condition of using the platform that sellers agree not to use counterfeit marks and to consent to the jurisdiction of U.S. courts in any claims related to selling on the platform; (4) implemented policies to remove and ban repeat offenders; and (5) implemented technical measures to prescreen listings on the platform and remove listings for goods being sold with a counterfeit mark.   Most popular e-commerce platforms are already doing some or most of the steps (1) through (4). What is lacking is Step №5, i.e., implementing technical measures to prescreen listings on the platform and remove listings for goods being sold with a counterfeit mark. Some platforms like Amazon have already implemented some measures to combat the counterfeiting problem. But that effort is mostly manual and Amazon’s effort to combat counterfeit still largely relies on user or seller reporting/complaints of trademark infringement.   Why have no e-commerce platforms implemented a prescreening procedure for online listings yet? Policing hundreds of millions of listings online is a daunting task, even for a technology powerhouse like Amazon. Not only the volume of listings is too big to manage, but online counterfeiters are also getting “smarter“ and more sophisticated. For example, instead of using famous brand names as part of the listing, counterfeit sellers can use images like the one below to make it difficult for a typical keyword search engine to find a counterfeit product. In this example, the complete phrase “Calvin Klein” is nowhere to be found. Instead, the picture only shows “…vin Klein” and “Calvin….” Counterfeiting is apparent to a person looking at this picture but very difficult for a regular search engine like Google to pinpoint.   <figure class="tt tu tv tw qs sq gz ha paragraph-image"> <div class="gz ha zd wysiwyg-text-align-center"><img class="dq sv sw" src="https://miro.medium.com/max/744/1*5acCG-FA9Rz5xK6bq8epNA.png" alt="" width="372" height="281"></div> <div class="gz ha zd wysiwyg-text-align-center"> </div> </figure> Huski.ai, a Silicon Valley-based tech startup, has recently launched an AI-powered branding analysis and monitoring service.

Should the Shop Safe Act pass Congress in the near future, e-commerce platforms can quickly become compliant with the law and avoid getting hit by the enormous liabilities if they fail to root out counterfeiters on their platforms.

The Shop Safe Act Calls for Smart Solutions Against Online Counterfeiting

The Shop Safe Act is a bipartisan bill introduced in the House of Representatives on March 2, 2020. The official name of the Act is the Stopping Harmful Offers on Platforms by Screening Against Fakes in E-commerce Act. While the bill has not moved much in Congress yet, rumors are th...

With the advent of Metaverse, the frenzy for NFTs or virtual properties shows no sign of cooling off anytime soon. From art and music to burgers or anything else you can imagine, these digital assets sell like exotic treasures — some for millions of dollars. However, for the big fashion houses, NFT’s phenomenal growth poses both opportunities and challenges. Famous brands like Luis Vuitton and Burberry have already ventured into the NFT worlds by developing their own digital assets. In the meantime, brand owners are presented with a new and unique challenge in the era of metaverse and NFTs: how to protect their intellectual property rights in the metaverse? According to The Fashion Law, Hermès recently sent a cease and desist letter to Mason Rothschild, the artist behind the MetaBirkins NFTs. One of the MetaBirkins NFTs is shown below: <figure class="tt tu tv tw qs sq gz ha paragraph-image"> <div class="sr ss cj st dq su"> <div class="gz ha acb wysiwyg-text-align-center"><img class="dq sv sw" src="https://miro.medium.com/max/1400/1*VS4BHaUc7r99H4Te0xn9kA.png" alt="" width="700" height="467"></div> <div class="gz ha acb wysiwyg-text-align-center">NFT created by MetaBirkins</div> </div> </figure> The creator of the NFT Birkin bags admits his work is spired by Hermès’ famed Birkin bag. Launched by shopping and social platform Basic Space, the NFT Birkin bag sold for $47,000 USD. Following the inaugural Birkin bag NFT, Rothschild created MetaBirkins, a collection of 100 unique Birkin-inspired NFTs. At this time, Rothschild claims that MetaBirkins has sold over 1.1 million USD, which is an amazing feat but not uncommon in the NFT world. As one of Hermès’ most famous fashion products, a Birkin bag looks like the one shown below. <figure class="tt tu tv tw qs sq gz ha paragraph-image"> <div class="gz ha acc wysiwyg-text-align-center"><img class="dq sv sw" src="https://miro.medium.com/max/800/0*XXeWDgz881I3jF5G" alt="" width="400" height="400"></div> <div class="gz ha acc wysiwyg-text-align-center">A Hermès Birkin Handbag</div> </figure> The Birkin bag is so famous, Hermès has spared no expense in protecting its most prestigious product design. It not only registered the Birkin name as a trademark but also managed to register at least two design trademarks in connection with the Birkin bag. One is <a class="au kw" href="https://huski.ai/trademark/76700120" target="_blank" rel="noopener ugc nofollow noreferrer">U.S. Trademark Registration №3,936,105 (“‘105 Trademark”)</a>, which covers the contour and overall design of the bag (dotted lines are not part of the trademark). Another is <a class="au kw" href="https://huski.ai/trademark/74336038" target="_blank" rel="noopener ugc nofollow noreferrer">U.S. Trademark Registration №1,806,107 (“‘107 Trademark”)</a>, which covers the middle belt with a lock. Both design trademarks are shown as follows: <figure class="tt tu tv tw qs sq gz ha paragraph-image"> <div class="sr ss cj st dq su"> <div class="gz ha acd wysiwyg-text-align-center"><img class="dq sv sw" src="https://miro.medium.com/max/332/1*J9CqXsxV5EGuINu8ywODnQ.png" alt="" width="166" height="189"></div> <div class="gz ha acd wysiwyg-text-align-center"><a class="au kw" href="https://huski.ai/trademark/76700120" target="_blank" rel="noopener ugc nofollow noreferrer">U.S. Trademark Registration № 3,936,105</a></div> </div> </figure> <figure class="tt tu tv tw qs sq gz ha paragraph-image"> <div class="gz ha ace wysiwyg-text-align-center"><img class="dq sv sw" src="https://miro.medium.com/max/672/1*7Js_iXFFwJaxHVXEJhzMsQ.png" alt="" width="336" height="166"></div> <div class="gz ha ace wysiwyg-text-align-center"><a class="au kw" href="https://huski.ai/trademark/74336038" target="_blank" rel="noopener ugc nofollow noreferrer">U.S. Trademark Registration № 1,806,107</a></div> <div class="gz ha ace wysiwyg-text-align-center"> </div> </figure> The benefit of a product design trademark is that it could theoretically protect the design of a famous product forever without worrying about the legal expiration of a design patent and copyrighted work. The question is: do Rothschild’s MetaBirkin bags infringe Hermès’ trademark rights? The simple answer is that it depends. Although Rothschild publicly admitted that his works were inspired by the Birkin bag, it does not necessarily mean he does not have a good defense to his works. One, he could claim fair use of the Birkin bag trademarks because his designs are artworks, not trademark use. Under the U.S. trademark law, Rothschild could also claim exceptions as artistic works protected under the First Amendment, which he rightfully claimed in an open letter response to Hermès. To claim protection under First Amendment, Rothschild likely has to prove that his use of the Birkin trademarks is (1) “artistically relevant” to the work and (2) not “explicitly misleading” as to the source of the content of the work. Whether this defense works, it will be up to the judge and jury should Hermès decide to take this case to court. The Hermès v. Rothschild ordeal won’t be the only incident for brand owners. With the flooding of NFTs in the Metaverse, brand owners will have to face the challenge of policing their precious IP against those who seek to profit from it in the virtual world. The MetaBirkin bag NFTs are relatively easy for Hermès to spot. How about millions of other NFTs currently on sale in OpenSea and other NFT platforms? Do brand owners need a virtual operator to help them scout the virtual world for infringement? Detecting infringement in the virtual poses unique challenges for the tech world. Luckily, we are in the age of artificial intelligence. A.I.-powered tools can be adjusted to meet the new challenges for brand owners in the virtual world. For example, the A.I.-based search engine developed by Huski.ai can be applied to detect “virtual” trademark counterfeiters in the Metaverse. The Huski.ai engine proves to be capable of catching the “smart” counterfeiters on the Internet, who use twisted or cropped images to make it difficult for brand owners to detect infringement. The Huski.ai engine can be redeployed in the virtual world to catch “virtual” infringers using the same technologies. In proving the effectiveness of the search engine, Huski.ai quickly indexed all products listed on <a class="au kw" href="https://www.hermes.com/" target="_blank" rel="noopener ugc nofollow noreferrer">Hermes</a>.com, which includes about 10,000 images for a wide range of products, such as handbags, shoes, clothes, accessories, home decors, fragrances, makeups, etc. A couple of search results are displayed below. As the results show, Huski.ai’s engine can effectively find similar Hermès products using the MetaBirkins’ NFT as input. As the NFTs are accepted into the mainstream, “virtual” enforcers will undoubtedly play a more significant role for the big IP houses. <figure class="tt tu tv tw qs sq gz ha paragraph-image"> <div class="sr ss cj st dq su"> <div class="gz ha acf wysiwyg-text-align-center"><img class="dq sv sw" src="https://miro.medium.com/max/1400/1*J-QgXq4AKq2JZ70ZqMFXhA.png" alt="" width="700" height="199"></div> <div class="gz ha acf wysiwyg-text-align-center">Huski.ai’s search engine identified similar Hermès Birkin products to Metabirkins’ NFT</div> </div> </figure> <figure class="tt tu tv tw qs sq gz ha paragraph-image"> <div class="sr ss cj st dq su"> <div class="gz ha acg wysiwyg-text-align-center"><img class="dq sv sw" src="https://miro.medium.com/max/1400/1*ZZoIGQHETgNeQsZKBH3VCg.png" alt="" width="700" height="207"></div> <div class="gz ha acg wysiwyg-text-align-center">Huski.ai’s search engine identified similar Hermès Birkin products to Metabirkins’ NFT</div> </div> </figure>

NFT — The New Wild West For IP Infringement?

##01/09/22## Whether you like it or not, non-fungible tokens (NFTs) have exploded in this universe in the past year.

<img src="/hc/article_attachments/4610745622041/brett-jordan-zVkL5L7eGrw-unsplash.jpg" alt="brett-jordan-zVkL5L7eGrw-unsplash.jpg">   Just like taxes, fighting counterfeit is the perennial challenge for brand owners. With online sales taking the dominant role in the 21st century, guarding brand owners’ most precious assets has become more technical than a legal hassle. According to the U.S. Census Bureau, Total retail sales for the first quarter of 2021 were estimated at $1,581.4 billion, an increase of 7.8 percent from the fourth quarter of 2020. The first quarter of 2021 e-commerce estimate increased 39.1 percent from the first quarter of 2020, while total retail sales increased 16.8 percent in the same period. E-commerce sales in the first quarter of 2021 accounted for 13.6 percent of total sales. As the dominant online platform for e-commerce, Amazon enjoys continuing fanatic growth to its sales forces. Through its third-party vendor partnership program, hundreds of thousands of new vendors join the platform each year to sell all kinds of products. Competitors like Shopify and others also enjoy phenomenal growth using their proprietary technologies to help vendors set up online shops. However, for brand owners, the ease of setting up online stores or listings makes the counterfeiting problem far worse than before. Online counterfeiters are getting quicker and smarter. They are getting more sophisticated with advanced algorithms and targeted marketing techniques. For example, a counterfeit watch seller can quickly set up an online store, send a wave of targeted ads to Facebook users, and reappear under a different name and online store. The swift actions by counterfeiters make it difficult for brand owners to catch up. Instead of using famous brand names as part of the listing, counterfeit sellers can use images like the one below to make it difficult for a keyword searcher to find a fake product. In this example, the complete phrase “Calvin Klein” is nowhere to be found. Instead, the picture only shows “…vin Klein” and “Calvin….” It is apparent to a person looking at this product but challenging for a regular search engine like Google to pinpoint. <figure class="tt tu tv tw qs sq gz ha paragraph-image"> <div class="gz ha zd wysiwyg-text-align-center"><img class="dq sv sw" src="https://miro.medium.com/max/744/1*ixE4Lc0-TVDTZ71NPZ1bIw.png" alt="" width="372" height="281"></div> </figure> The anti-counterfeiting law in the U.S. is already tough enough. Statutory damages could go up to 2 million dollars if the defendant is found willful. Even if no willfulness is found, a court can grant statutory damages between $1000 and $200,000 even in cases without an actual sale of the accused counterfeit products. For brand owners, the difficulty of catching counterfeiters is no longer a legal issue; instead, it hinges on how fast brand owners can locate these online counterfeiters and quickly shut them down through temporary restraining orders issued by the court. This is when AI-powered search engines such as Huski.ai come into play. Huski.ai, a Silicon Valley-based tech startup, has recently launched an AI-powered branding analysis and monitoring service. Its trademark search engine is particularly powerful for difficult design mark searches and could become a powerful tool for a brand owner to catch carefully disguised online infringers. In the example shown below, the Huski.ai search engine searched an online store and accurately located the infringing symbol on a jersey that counterfeits the logo for the NBA Cleveland Cavaliers team. <figure class="tt tu tv tw qs sq gz ha paragraph-image"> <div class="sr ss cj st dq su"> <div class="gz ha ze wysiwyg-text-align-center"><img class="dq sv sw" src="https://miro.medium.com/max/1400/1*5CKcGBJZt503XlPOp5t05Q.png" alt="" width="700" height="450"></div> </div> </figure> Huski also offers intelligent tools for trademark registrability and online infringement analysis. For trademark litigators, Huski’s litigation tool provides valuable insights and docket entries for all trademark infringement cases in U.S. district courts. It could soon relieve a trademark litigator from relying on the clumsy and costly Pacer system. With a powerful tool like Huski.ai, a brand owner can rest assured that no “smart” counterfeiter can get away from infringement with tricky techniques. If an online marketplace like Amazon or Aliexpress employs an AI-powered tool like Huski.ai to scan its new online listings, can we finally root out the growing problem of online counterfeiting? While it may take a more powerful engine to police an enormous marketplace like Amazon.com, the emergence of Huski.ai and similar tools are indeed off to a good start.

When Facebook announced on Oct 28, 2021, that Meta’s new mission is to build this augmented virtual/mix reality world, Metaverse, the company apparently claimed the beginning of making science fiction into reality. Cryptocurrency is the primary currency used in Metaverse. Just like we use the money to buy goods, we will use cryptocurrency to purchase virtual goods in the metaverse. <figure class="tt tu tv tw qs sq gz ha paragraph-image"> <div class="sr ss cj st dq su"> <div class="gz ha zz wysiwyg-text-align-center"><img class="dq sv sw" src="https://miro.medium.com/max/1400/0*ODmYe856qx4v1dQD.jpeg" alt="" width="700" height="429"></div> <div class="gz ha zz wysiwyg-text-align-center">The image is from the Internet, for illustrative purposes only</div> </div> </figure> NFT is the ownership certificate of virtual goods in the metaverse. <figure class="tt tu tv tw qs sq gz ha paragraph-image"> <div class="gz ha aba wysiwyg-text-align-center"><img class="dq sv sw" src="https://miro.medium.com/max/460/0*jVZ4VDbZcfQO4nT9.png" alt="" width="230" height="230"></div> </figure> People sometimes need ownership certificates to prove they own something in the physical world. A title of a house or a grocery shopping receipt can be an example of such certificates. In the physical world, we don’t always need a receipt after shopping because the goods are physically in our hands after we pay the price. However, in the virtual world, the exchange can only be verified with such certificates, which is why NFT is so important in Metaverse. NFT and Cryptocurrency together will be the foundation of the economy in Metaverse. Web3.0 is the next version of the Internet where users have clear ownership over their contributions, such as creation, data, and playtime, and get a share of any revenue generated with their contributions. <figure class="tt tu tv tw qs sq gz ha paragraph-image"> <div class="sr ss cj st dq su"> <div class="gz ha abb wysiwyg-text-align-center"><img class="dq sv sw" src="https://miro.medium.com/max/1400/0*hnzxvDp-UsgeJULo.png" alt="" width="700" height="391"></div> <div class="gz ha abb wysiwyg-text-align-center">The image is from the Internet, for illustrative purposes only</div> </div> </figure> In contrast, the current Internet, or Web2.0, is a system where user data is maintained by the big companies and for the big companies only. In Web2.0, the primary economy is the targeted ads, whereas the creator economy will be the leading economy in Web3.0. The Relation among Metaverse, Cryptocurrency, NFT, and Web3.0 is the following. The Metaverse is going to be a big piece of Web3.0. There will be multiple metaverses, such as the numerous websites we use every day, to provide new experiences for users constantly. Creators will build each and every one of the fancy metaverses with virtual worlds, including goods, services, and every detail of them. Such creations will create an economy where consumers use cryptocurrency to do business together and use NFTs to certify the ownership of virtual stuff.   <h2 id="7600" 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">NFTs and Copyright Infringements</h2> As discussed above, the creator economy will play a central role in Web3.0 and Metaverse. Therefore, we need an infrastructure that can empower creators like never before. While other aspects, such as the ease of use of creator tools or the flourishing of the virtual goods marketplaces, have to be prioritized, we see copyright protection as the crown jewel of such creator-friendly infrastructure. No creators will get their fair shares if other people simply download their virtual creations and begin to sell them somewhere else. A healthy ecosystem should, and must, reward creators by either recognization or economic benefit for long-lasting motivation and momentum of growth. <figure class="tt tu tv tw qs sq gz ha paragraph-image"> <div class="gz ha abc wysiwyg-text-align-center"><img class="dq sv sw" src="https://miro.medium.com/max/1400/1*4kWMllSSp5ohQWB5VRcN1w.png" alt="" width="700" height="347"></div> <div class="gz ha abc wysiwyg-text-align-center">Illustration of Similar Copyrighted Content in Comparison</div> </figure> The digital assets infringement issue has begun to draw a lot of attention around the globe recently. On Oct 29, 2021, Reuters published an extended discussion of “<a class="au kw" href="https://www.reuters.com/legal/transactional/what-are-copyright-implications-nfts-2021-10-29/" target="_blank" rel="noopener ugc nofollow noreferrer">What are the copyright implications of NFTs?</a>” They cited some copyright laws about ownership relations between creators and owners, and they discussed the responsibilities among sellers and the NFT marketplaces against copyright infringement activities. On Aug 4, 2021, Fortune.com published “<a class="au kw" href="https://fortune.com/2021/08/04/nfts-copyright-violations-penalties-non-fungible-tokens-collectibles-nfttorney-jonathan-schmalfeld/" target="_blank" rel="noopener ugc nofollow noreferrer">Copyright violations could crash the NFT party</a>”. The article discussed the phenomenon of an NFT price dropping dramatically when people found out it was infringing other digital art. On Jun 16, 2021, Techcrunch published “<a class="au kw" href="https://techcrunch.com/2021/06/16/no-nfts-arent-copyrights/" target="_blank" rel="noopener ugc nofollow noreferrer">No, NFTs aren’t copyrights</a>”. They had a good and clear discussion about the relation between NFTs (the certificates) and digital assets (the virtual goods). And they clarified that although two parties could use two distinct NFTs to certify two pieces of virtual assets, the assets could have infringement relations to one another. They also said, “Without legal parameters, fraud is inevitable”, referring to such infringements.   <h2 id="ee5e" 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">Huski Technology and Large Scale Infringement Detection</h2> This previous <a class="au kw" href="https://medium.com/@huski/what-is-huski-d009bd2d30c5" rel="noopener">article</a> explained that Huski.ai exists to detect brand infringements so that brand owners are better informed and brand growth protected. In that article, we also hinted at the vision of everyone being a brand owner in the metaverse. In retrospect, that vision is exactly the creator economy we talked about in this article. Brands, digital assets, and virtual goods are actually interchangeable terms in terms of the entities our technology could process. <figure class="tt tu tv tw qs sq gz ha paragraph-image"> <div class="sr ss cj st dq su"> <div class="gz ha abd wysiwyg-text-align-center"><img class="dq sv sw" src="https://miro.medium.com/max/1400/1*TdLSpgPzJEJADB1IE_wyHw.png" alt="" width="700" height="478"></div> </div> </figure> Generally speaking, infringement detection or search engine will index an enormous amount of copyright content in multimedia formats and detect their presence in any given query (in the forms of text, image, etc.). Given the nature of the countless copyright content, we can neither build one model for each content nor rely on labeling enough data per content to create AI systems to tackle the problem. It will either end with too many models to handle or too much data to label. Instead, we have to find a scalable way to train as few models as possible to learn the abstract essence of each copyright content about what made them originally unique and try to identify that uniqueness when it appears again in the query. And we have to do it by an unsupervised show and tell. <a class="au kw" href="https://medium.com/me/stats/post/9557c8afce8f" rel="noopener">This article</a> has more details about our technology roadmap and progress. Fortunately, this long-shot technology roadmap paid off. Because we built our technology the way we envisioned, the effectiveness of our search engine is indeed insensible to the content, regardless of representing brands, digital assets, or virtual goods.
