To this day I wonder if the trademark search site runs on Windows 98
- UseStrict 3y agoI'm sure they've upgrade since then, at least Windows 98 SE.
- PaulHoule 3y agoWindows ME? I worked at a place for six months where I worked on an impossible number of projects that were hosted on Windows particularly including the really strange such as hosted on MS Access. (Something that could work pretty well or pretty poorly depending on how it was configured.)
- PaulHoule 3y agoI worked on a patent search that was way better than the USPTO search and it was a lot of work. I'd imagine trademark search would be easier and it looks like you can get that out of a data dump just like you can for patents. https://bulkdata.uspto.gov/ https://bulkdata.uspto.gov/
- NotYourLawyer 3y agoWhat patent search? Does it still exist?
- PaulHoule 3y agoSee https://ip.com/ https://ip.com/ I don't know if it has a public demo anymore. The search engine used a neural network autoencoder for "more like this" queries and did a great job if you wrote a paragraph describing your invention and want to find related inventions, both in patent and non-patent literature. If it hasn't been made obsolete by Sentence BERT, however, it soon will be.
- holler 3y agoNot sure if they've upgraded but you used to not be able to permalink to a search result.
- PaulHoule 3y ago… oops, unfortunately it doesn’t work. If I didn’t already have side projects coming out of my ears I’d go home and code a better trademark search up.
- holler 3y agoHaha totally, they could use the help! What's the system of "three sided cards"?
- PaulHoule 3y agoMost of the images I post here https://mastodon.social/@UP8/media https://mastodon.social/@UP8/media have to do with "three-sided cards"; these have many uses not least I can throw down several of them and take a picture to show on social media.
