Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a system for judging the similarity of a trademark or a naming, and more particularly to a system for judging the similarity of a trademark or its name.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art In order to judge the possibility of registration of a trademark to be filed for trademark registration, various databases are used as search keys. , Search and extraction are performed for items that meet a certain standard. Thus, by referring to the search result list, it is possible to confirm whether the same or similar name has already been applied for or registered by another person.

[0003]

However, it has been difficult for a person to determine whether a nickname used as a search key is similar to other nicknames in the search list, which has been difficult.
Therefore, it is preferable to have a system that determines whether or not the search name is similar to the name in the list, especially after the search list is obtained.

[0004] By the way, since the JPO has published trademark examination standards and disclosed certain similar standards in the past, it is preferable that this standard can be used for the above-mentioned search and subsequent similarity judgment. In addition, at that time, if it is possible to determine and display for what reason the two names to be compared are similar or dissimilar, it is possible to make a relatively objective and persuasive similarity judgment.

The present invention has been made in view of the above circumstances, and its main purpose is to determine the similarity between two names to be compared based on the Patent Office Trademark Examination Standards. It is an object of the present invention to provide a trademark rejection judging system capable of knowing in detail why both names are similar or dissimilar.

[0006]

In order to achieve the above object, the system of the present invention is configured as described in the above-mentioned claims, which are incorporated herein by reference.

[0007]

DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS As described above, there is a trademark examination standard as a criterion for judging whether or not a title is published by the JPO. Therefore, it is extremely significant to confirm the result of the similarity judgment based on the examination criteria. Therefore, in the present invention, the similarity judgment process of the examination criteria is provided by an algorithm as simple as possible, and is widely used for searching for similar names from a trademark database and for individual similarity judgment after searching from various databases. The purpose is to get.

According to the trademark examination standards, one kana character forms one syllable and the number of sounds, and the sullen sounds (“kya”, “shu”, “byo”)
) Is one syllable and the number of notes in two characters, and the long sound (long note "-"), the prompting sound, and the plucking sound ("n") are also assumed to make one syllable and the number of notes, respectively. Will be described.

A particular problem in the contents of the examination criteria is the approximation of consonants. The approximation of consonants is based on Article 4.1, 1
Item 1-6. As shown in (I) [Note 1] (a),
Generally, it is said that the consonant table has the same or similar articulation position and method. Criterion 6. Although (I) [Note 1] (b) is concretely described, the approximation of consonants can be said to be somewhat abstract. Therefore, in this embodiment, the approximation of consonants is first specified as follows. I tried.

That is, first, the similarity between consonants was clarified based on the results of a number of past trademark decisions. Specifically, from the column of one-tone differences in “Sequence of trademarks”, published by Patent Japan, trial cases of different tones with common vowels and different consonants are extracted to derive the relationship between consonants. did. Here, Japanese consonants are, for example, a consonant (k) for kakikukeko, a consonant (g) for gagiggego, a consonant (s) for sussuseso, a consonant for shi (∫), and a consonant for zazezo (z). , Consonant for z (ro), consonant for z (z, d
z), consonant for tate (t), consonant for j (t∫), consonant for tsu (ts), consonant for dadedo (d), consonant for naninuneno (n), consonant for hahiheho (h ), A consonant for f (f), a consonant for baby-bebo (b), a consonant for papipupepo (p), a consonant for mammim memo (m), a consonant for yayuyo (j), a consonant for larilurelo (r), Consonants for wa (w)
I divided it. In addition, other division methods may be used.

[0011] Then, the difference sounds are "ga" and "wa",
"Ku" and "fu", "da" and "na", "mu" and "nu"
The number of trial results using common vowels and different consonants was determined for each consonant. FIG. 1 is a table showing the results. For example, when the difference sounds are “ga” and “wa”, since the consonant “g” and the consonant “w” are compared, the column of the intersection of the row of “g” and the column of “w” is used. The result of the similarity judgment is described in the following. In each column, the upper left numerical value is the number of trials that have determined that the consonants are similar, and the numerical value in parentheses at the upper right is the number of trials that have been determined to be dissimilar. Also, the central number is
This is the total number of decisions (number of similar decisions + number of dissimilar decisions). Furthermore, the lower numerical value can be said to be the similarity obtained by dividing the number of similar trials by the total number of trials. In other words, the closer the value in the lower row is to 0, the more dissimilar the tendency is, and the closer the value is to 1, the more similar the tendency is. Further, when the lower numerical value is 0, it indicates that there is only a trial decision determined to be dissimilar between consonants, and when it is 1, there is only a trial decision determined to be similar. Note that a blank column in the table indicates that there is no example of judging the consonants.

In this table, the similarity between the sound-repellent "n" and each consonant is also obtained, but this is for reference. Also, for convenience, “tsu” contains a prompt sound “tsu”,
Naturally, it can be calculated in the form excluding it. Furthermore, the comparison between the consonant (k) for kakikukeko and the consonant (g) for gagiguguego, after all, requires the similarity based on the difference between the clear sound and the turbid sound (presence or absence of a turbid point). Needless to say. Also, in the column of the comparison between the consonant (k) for Kakikukeko and the consonant (f) for the fu, since only the combination of "ku" and "fu" has a common vowel, Needless to say, this is what we want.

The approximation of a consonant may be obtained based on the similarity described above, but this embodiment is slightly modified. This is because, even if the similarity is obtained as described above, if the number of trial decisions is small, there are places where the similarity greatly varies depending on the result of the next trial decision. In other words, at present, even if the number of similar trials is rather large and similar, if the next trial decision is judged to be dissimilar, the similarity will fluctuate greatly and affect similarity. It is possible.
In order to prevent this, the similarity is corrected in advance, assuming that a decision in the direction that will affect the similarity is issued next. In other words, the similarity was recalculated, assuming that the lower of the similar or dissimilar decisions was the next decision. Specifically, the similarity is calculated assuming that a similar trial decision has been newly issued for those with a large number of similar trials, or a similar trial decision has been newly issued for a large number of similar trials. Repaired. The results are shown in the table of FIG.

The configuration of the table of FIG. 2 is the same as that of FIG. 1, and the calculation is performed again assuming that one of the number of similar or dissimilar decisions in FIG. 1 has increased. For example, in FIG. 1, in the past judgment example of the consonant “k” and the consonant “s”, the number of similar judgments is 9, the number of dissimilar judgments is 13, and the similarity is 0.41.
The two consonants are rather dissimilar, but the decision in the direction to overturn this result, that is, if the similar decision is next, add 1 to the number of similar decisions and recalculate the similarity. . By such processing, when judging similarity based on the similarity shown in FIG. 1, even if the next trial decision is inconvenient, its influence can be avoided. In the table of FIG. 1, when the number of similar trials and the number of dissimilar trials are equal, the calculation is performed for both the next case of similar trials and the case of non-similar trials.

Further, similarity and dissimilarity are not separated by a similarity of 0.5, and a section from 0.4 to 0.6 is set to a neutral state (gray zone). That is, it is determined that those having a similarity degree during this period are neither similar nor dissimilar, and less than 0.4 is dissimilar, and 0.6 or more is similar. It goes without saying that the value of the border line can be changed as appropriate.

FIG. 3 is a table showing the similarity between consonants except for the gray zone by correcting the similarity of the past trademark decision example. "○" in the table
Consonants that cross in the column marked with are similar,
Consonants crossing each other in the column marked with are marked as dissimilar. For example, the consonant (k) for kakikukeko and the consonant (f) for f, when looking at the column where the row of k and the column of f intersect,
Since the degree of similarity is 0.62 and “○” is added, it can be understood that both consonants are similar.

Next, a similarity judgment system for the name of a trademark based on the examination standard will be described using the similarity table between the consonants of FIG. 3 created as described above. Here, for example, a system in which a name of a trademark to be filed and a name of a trademark in a list retrieved from a trademark database based on the name can be input to know the result of similarity determination. explain.

FIG. 4 is a flow chart showing the flow of a process for judging similarity between two names to be compared. It should be noted that, from the first class rejection determination process to the fourth
Each process up to the similarity determination process is shown in each flowchart of FIGS.

In the computer, a storage file of each name call, a sound number storage file, a sound number storage A difference storage file, a difference sound storage file, a difference number storage file, and the like are provided. The input both names are stored in the memory, and the computer controlled by the program executes the similarity judgment processing using these, and outputs the result.

As shown in FIG. 4, first, two names to be compared are inputted from an input device such as a keyboard. This input is performed in, for example, katakana characters.
Each input name is temporarily stored in a name storage file via the central processing unit.

The central processing unit acquires input nicknames from each nickname storage file, decomposes each nickname into constituent sounds (one note at a time), and uses the number-of-sounds calculating means to calculate the number of sounds of at least one of the nicknames. The difference in the number of sounds between the two names is obtained, and the difference is temporarily stored in each of the sound number storage file (sound number storage means) and the sound number difference storage file (sound number difference storage means).

Further, the difference sound extracting means obtains a pair of difference sounds and the like different from each other between the two names and the number of differences, which is the number of the pairs, based on the input both names and stores the difference sounds. The file (difference sound storage means) and the difference number storage file (difference number storage means) are temporarily stored in respective storage files. In the case of a pair of different sounds, if there is a difference between the 50 sounds, etc., each sound is adopted, but if there is a difference in the presence or absence of a specific sound (including a long note, etc.), the specific sound and the To indicate that there is no data.

Then, based on the difference between the number of sounds obtained by the number-of-sounds calculating means and the number of differences obtained by the different-sound extracting means, similarity judgment processing means determines whether the same number of sounds and one sound difference exist. In this case, the similarity determination process between the two names is performed, and the similarity determination is performed by the output device, which is divided into one tone difference and one tone difference, two tone differences, and three or more tone differences. The result is output. The number-of-sounds difference is obtained from the number-of-sounds difference storage file, and the number of differences is obtained from the difference number storage file and processed.

When both names are composed of the same number of tones and one of the constituent sounds is different from each other, a first type rejection determination process and a second type rejection determination process described later can be executed. . In this case, if any one of the similarity criteria in the similarity determination process is similar, then both names are determined to be similar.

In addition, the two names have a difference in the presence or absence of a specific one sound, and when the difference in the number of sounds is one sound, it is determined that a third type rejection determination process or a fourth type rejection determination process described later can be executed. Have been.
In this case, if any one of the similarity criteria in the similarity determination process is similar, then both names are determined to be similar.

Further, when the two names are different from each other by two tones,
The first to third kind rejection determination processing can be executed for each different part. In this case, if both of the different portions are similar in any of the similarity criteria in the similarity determination process, the double name call is determined to be similar. Alternatively, it is determined whether or not two adjacent tones are exchanged. If this is the case, both names are determined to be similar.

If there is a difference of three or more sounds, the two names are judged to be dissimilar to each other. The first to fourth similarity judgment processing is performed using a pair of different sounds acquired from the different sound storage file, the number of sounds acquired from the number of sound storage file, and the like.

As shown in FIG. 5, the first kind rejection determination process determines whether different sounds share a common vowel or consonant (accompaniment in the 50-sound diagram), Sa, Ta, C, Yaku) and Dakuon (Ga, The, Da, B)
, Similarity, similarity or similarity, if any of the above, depending on whether it is a difference between a long sound and a low sound, a difference between a long sound and a short sound, a difference between a long sound and a prompt sound, or a difference between a long sound and a weak sound. This is the processing to be performed. Note that the difference between the clear sound, the voiced sound, and the semi-voiced sound refers to the case of "bo" and "po", "ga" and "ka", "ba" and "ha", and the like. These processes are performed especially for intermediate tones and below.

As shown in FIG. 6, the second similarity determination process is performed for a relatively long name (approximately 6 to 8 or more sounds) or a different sound between a distinct sound and a straight sound (a sound other than the distinctive sound and the prompting sound). If any of these is a difference, a vowel approximates, or a consonant approximates, it is a process of judging similarity. Here, the approximation of the vowels is, for example, adjacent to each other in a row of the ear-ow. The approximation of consonants is determined based on the similarity table between consonants in FIG. Note that the approximation of a vowel may also be obtained based on a past decision example as in the case of a consonant. That is, the determination may be made based on the similarity between vowels obtained using the similarity / unsimilarity determination result having different vowels and common consonants based on a past trademark decision example of the JPO.

By the way, in the first kind rejection judgment processing and the second kind rejection judgment processing, specifically, sounds that meet each similarity criterion are associated with each found sound such as 50 sounds. , Using the similarity correspondence table stored in the memory.

In the similarity correspondence table, for the first kind rejection judgment processing, for example, for "ka", "a", "sa", "ta", "ta" Na ",
"Ki", "ku", "ke", "ko" as sounds that share a consonant with "ha", "ma", "ya", "la", "wa"
Is associated with "ga" as a sound obtained by changing a clear tone, a voice sound, and a semi-voice sound. Also, for example, for the weak sound “M”, “U”, “C”,
"S", "Ts", "Nu", "F", "Yu", "Le",
"Ma", "mi", "me",
"M", "I", "U", "N",
“F”, “S”, etc. (Note that the already duplicated ones, such as “U”, “F”, “S”, etc., may be omitted in some cases), and a long sound “ -"Is associated. Further, a long sound is associated with a long sound, and a long sound is associated with a long sound.

Therefore, when performing the first kind rejection judgment processing by comparing the different sounds, the corresponding sound is searched from the part for the first kind rejection processing of the similar correspondence table based on one sound. It may be determined whether or not the other sound exists in the searched corresponding sound. If the other sound is present, the two names will be similar.

On the other hand, the second kind judgment processing can be performed by using the same method. That is, the similarity correspondence table includes, for example, 5
For each of the zero sounds, a resonant sound, a sound similar to a vowel, and a sound similar to a consonant are associated with each other. Based on one sound to be compared, this table is searched and the other sound is searched. What is necessary is just to see if the sounds are in correspondence. If there is a correspondence, it is similar. In addition, whether or not only one sound is different in a relatively long name during the second kind rejection determination process can be easily obtained from the number of sounds of the name.

As shown in FIG. 7, the third kind rejection judgment processing corresponds to one of the different parts depending on whether there is a weak sound, a long sound, or a prompt. The time is a process of judging similarity. In other words, it is only necessary to determine whether the extra sound in one of the calls compared to the other is a weak sound, a long sound, or a prompt sound.

As shown in FIG. 8, the fourth similarity judgment process is a process of judging similarity or similarity based on a relatively long name when it is applicable. This is easily obtained from the number of sounds of the name.

In the above description, the foreign language characters (lowercase letters) "a", "i", "@", "e", and "o" have not been described. ,
It can be converted to "i", "u", "d", "o", or converted to another sound for processing. For example, "wo" can be processed as "wo" or "va" as "ba". Alternatively, a foreign language character may be treated as a murmur.

The trademark rejection determination system of the present invention is not limited to the configuration of the above-described embodiment, but can be changed as appropriate. For example, in the case of the same number of sounds and a difference of one sound, the second type similarity determination process may be executed only when the similarity is not achieved by all the similarity criteria in the first type similarity determination process. This is realized by checking a similarity / non-classification flag that is switched when the similarity / non-similarity is determined during the first type similarity determination process before executing the second type similarity determination process.

Similarly, in the case of one sound difference and one sound difference, the fourth similarity judgment processing is performed only when the similarity is not obtained by all the similarity criteria in the third similarity judgment processing. It may be executed.

Further, in the case of a two-tone difference, the third kind rejection processing for each difference part is performed when all of the similarity criteria in the first kind rejection processing for the different part do not indicate similarity. Can only be performed. Moreover, the similarity judgment processing based on whether or not two adjacent sounds are exchanged is not made to be similar with respect to any of different portions by all the similarity criteria of the first similarity judgment processing or the third similarity judgment processing. It can only be performed on a case-by-case basis.

In the case of a two-tone difference, it is determined in advance whether there is a difference between the 50 tones or the like at each difference, or whether there is a difference in the presence or absence of the 50 tones or the like. A determination process may be performed, and in the latter case, a third type rejection determination process may be performed.

When outputting the result of the similarity judgment, it is preferable to be able to output for what reason similarity or dissimilarity. In this case, each of the 50 sounds, the sound-pickup, the prompting sound, the prolonged sound, the voiced sound, the semi-voiced sound, and the consonant sound is defined as the found sound, and the corresponding sound that matches each similarity criterion in the similarity judgment processing for each found sound Create and use a similarity reference table (corresponding to the similarity correspondence table) associated with each similarity reference in a memory.

When similarity is determined, the similarity criterion table is searched based on one difference sound, and the presence or absence of the other difference sound in the sound corresponding to each similar criterion is determined. If there is a different sound, the similarity may be determined. Then, when it is determined that they are similar, a similarity criterion serving as the basis may be output together with the fact. In addition,
In this case, it is more preferable to determine whether or not all the similar criteria in each of the similarity determination processes match the similar criteria.

FIG. 9 shows an example of the output screen of the similarity judgment result and the reason. In this example, the similarity or dissimilarity as a similarity determination result, the difference in the number of tones and the number of differences between the two names are output, and in the case of a difference of two or less, a pair of the difference sounds,
For each different part, the corresponding similarity criterion is checked and output. In addition, among the past trial decisions related to each similarity criterion, a trial number or the like, or preferably a summary thereof, of the same or similar condition as the similarity determination condition may be displayed.

Further, the trademark similarity judging system connects the terminal which performs similarity judging processing from a terminal via a communication line, inputs a name to be judged similarity, and obtains the result on the terminal side. can do. For example, as shown in FIG. 10, by connecting to the WEB server 1 via the Internet 2 from a personal computer 3 having a WWW browser and inputting a name on the web page, it is possible to obtain a similarity determination result. Can be In this case, the server is provided with a means for receiving a name, a means for determining similarity using the name, and a means for outputting the result. The output screen of the similarity determination result shown in FIG. 9 can be used.

By the way, if it is desired to simply determine whether or not the two names are similar, if the similarity is determined, the subsequent processing is omitted, so that the similarity determination processing is further speeded up. be able to. That is, in the case of the same number of sounds and a difference of one sound, when the similarity is determined to be similar based on any similarity criterion in the first similarity determination processing or the second similarity determination processing, the similarity determination processing is performed thereafter. The similarity determination process can be ended without performing the processing.

In the case of one sound difference and one sound difference, when the similarity is determined to be similar based on any similarity criterion in the third or fourth similarity determination processing, the subsequent similarity determination is performed. The similarity determination process can be ended without performing the similarity determination process.

Further, in the case of a two-tone difference, first, when the first difference point is judged to be similar to or similar to any one of the similarity criteria in the first to third kind rejection processing or the third kind rejection judgment processing. Thus, it is possible not to perform the subsequent processes of the first type rejection determination process or the third type rejection determination process for the difference.

In the case of a two-tone difference, if the first difference is not judged to be similar by all the similarity criteria of the first similarity judgment processing to the third similarity judgment processing, The execution of the first type rejection determination process and the third type rejection determination process for the second different part can be omitted. That is, the first type rejection determination process for the second difference portion and the third type
The similarity determination process can be executed only when it is determined that the similarity based on any similarity criterion in the first similarity determination process and the third similarity determination process for the first difference portion. . In addition, when the second difference portion is determined to be similar to the similarity by any one of the similarity criteria in the first type similarity determination process or the third type similarity determination process, the similarity determination process is not performed thereafter. The similarity determination process may be terminated.

In the above embodiment, two names are input and
Although the case of judging the similarity has been described, it is also possible to input a nickname of a search object to be filed from now on, and to search for a nickname related to the nickname from the trademark database and use it to narrow down. It should be noted that the trademark database stores at least the names of the trademarks whose rights are still in existence and whose applications are pending. Also in this case, the terminal serving as the input / output device and the server on the trademark database side can be connected by a communication line, and the server can perform the search for the related name and the similarity determination processing.

Finally, processing including input / output processing and similarity judgment processing for realizing the similarity judgment system of the present invention is described in the CD-ROM.
It can be distributed on a medium such as a ROM (a computer-readable recording medium on which a program to be executed by a computer is recorded). Alternatively, the computer program for executing the processing can be transmitted and supplied to various terminals via a communication line (an information transmission medium for transmitting a computer-readable program to be executed by a computer).

According to the above examination standard conformity type similarity judgment system, the processing is divided into the first to fourth similarity judgment processing, so that the processing can be shared and the algorithm is simplified.
Processing is speeded up.
