The INPI, the judicial body responsible for protecting industrial property rights (trademarks, patents, and designs) in Portugal, was the first judicial body to launch a challenge aimed at startups, universities, and research centers to find a tool for "conceptual search" between trademarks. Through the "Justice Challenges," the INPI is seeking a solution for a "conceptual search" tool between trademarks that, in addition to identifying textual, phonetic, and image similarities, should also automatically detect conceptual identity or similarity between two trademarks.
