Results of the Second TM5 Image Search Project Experts Meeting

The Image Search Project is one of the TM5 Cooperative Projects, for which the Japan Patent Office (JPO) serves as the lead office. The objectives of this Project are (1) to define issues and possible solutions for development and implementation of an image search system for figurative trademarks; and (2) to create and share successful achievements, which will be useful for the Offices toward introducing an image search system.

This Experts Meeting was the second meeting since the first one in March 2014. The participants shared information on and actively discussed various issues on image searches, including the recent activities of each TM5 office, and the latest technological trends in private companies. This meeting provided useful and effective information for the participants to consider introducing an image search system at each Office.
