SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

💡 This Skill includes references (resource) components.

What problem does it solve? It answers intellectual property questions for Envision/Prometheus—patents, trademarks, trade secrets, copyrights, USPTO status, IP assignment, freedom-to-operate, and infringement exposure—without fabricating authorities, registration numbers, or controlling dates. ## Core Features & Use Cases - IP protection and clearance: Decide what to protect and how, clear a name or mark before launch, and confirm live USPTO registration or prosecution status. - Ownership and licensing analysis: Allocate ownership of contractor work product, assess IP assignment, and size infringement exposure in either direction. - Gateway routing with verified authorities: Route multi-domain consults through the legal_consult gateway tool, or act in-session with live verification of every cited statute, case, and USPTO record. - Use Case: Before launching a product name, ask whether the mark is already taken; the skill checks live USPTO records, labels anything unverifiable as an assumption, and records retrieval dates. ## Quick Start Ask whether we can trademark a proposed product name and have the current USPTO registration status verified against live records.

Frequently Asked Questions about legal-ip

High-intent search queries and answers about installing and using this skill.

FAQPage Schema
How do I check if a trademark name is already taken?▼

Ask the skill to clear the name; it queries live USPTO records via legal_uspto_search for existing registrations and prosecution status. Results are pulled the day you rely on them, with the retrieval date recorded beside each status.

How to verify a patent or trademark registration status?▼

Registration and application status is treated as a live office record that changes without notice, so the skill pulls it from USPTO sources the day you rely on it. It never quotes application or registration numbers from memory.

Does this skill handle IP license agreement terms?▼

No. It covers protection, registration, prosecution, and infringement analysis, but commercial license terms such as fees, term length, and indemnity are routed to the legal-contracts skill. Matters already in suit go to legal-litigation.

What happens when the legal_consult gateway is unavailable?▼

On a 503 or GC_BACKEND_UNAVAILABLE response, the skill continues in-session using its domain knowledge base while verifying every authority against live primary sources. The outage is recorded in LIMITATIONS rather than hidden.

Can the skill cite filing fees or statutory damages from memory?▼

No. Office fees, statutory damages ranges, and date-tied term lengths are indexed or periodically adjusted, so the skill pulls the current official publication at each use. Controlling dates are computed only from statute or rule text pulled that day.
