Innovation & Entrepreneurship Seminar: Using Computer Vision to Measure Design Similarity – An Application to US Design Rights

Egbert Amoncio (WIPO)


hybrid (Room 313/Zoom)

Firms have increasingly been competing through design. We show how computer vision techniques can be leveraged to measure the visual similarity of design rights across large data sets of product design images. Thus we extract and standardize 611,810 unique design images embedded in US design rights (1976–2020), adapt the structural similarity index measure to quantify design similarities between images, and rigorously validate the resulting design rights similarity measure. We then use that measure to produce novel empirical evidence that the similarity density of a design space exhibits an inverted U-shape with respect to the likelihood of that space’s design rights being litigated—a relationship proposed previously but never tested. Our design rights similarity measure should facilitate the exploration of new research questions in the fields of design rights, innovation, and strategy. We grant open access to our code and data resources to encourage research in these areas.

Digitality Fireside Chat #6: WissenSchafft Gesundheit ‒ Medizinische Forschung im digitalen Wandel

Matthias Tschöp (Helmholtz Munich)
Moderation: Dietmar Harhoff


Online event (in German), with registration

Matthias Tschöp (Scientific Director, CEO and Spokesman of the Management Board at Helmholtz Munich) and Dietmar Harhoff talk about innovation, transfer and start-ups as well as breakthroughs in drug development. Digitalization is influencing medicine in all areas, including research. Start-ups are also becoming increasingly important for transferring research results into application. Matthias Tschöp is an important and successful player in these areas and will report on his experiences.


The event will be held online via zoom and is in German. Register here for the zoom link.


The Max Planck Digitality Fireside Chat is an informal event format for in-depth talks and discussions on digitality and digital transformation. The aim is to allow for an exchange between researchers and digital pioneers who have come forward with new concepts, proposals and ideas, and are actively shaping digitalization.
