What problem does it solve? When a knockoff surfaces or you suspect you may be infringing someone else's IP, you need a structured factor analysis before deciding whether to assert, defend, or stand down — but infringement conclusions require attorney judgment. This Skill walks the applicable legal tests and produces a flag list showing what cuts each way, without ever concluding infringement or non-infringement. ## Core Features & Use Cases - Four rights modes: Separate triage workflows for trademark (confusion, dilution, false advertising), copyright (ownership, registration, substantial similarity, fair use, DMCA safe harbor), patent (claim charts, literal and doctrine-of-equivalents flags, design patent branch, invalidity defenses), and trade secret (secrecy, reasonable measures, misappropriation, preemption). - Posture-aware output: Distinguishes senior-party (assertion) from accused-party (risk) posture and routes next steps per the practice profile's enforcement posture and approval chain. - Guardrailed memo output: Writes a structured triage memo with factor tables, defense flags, GREEN/YELLOW/RED triage result, work-product header, and a non-lawyer gate with an attorney brief. - Use Case: A competitor launches a product called APEXSEED while you own APEXLEAF in the same class — run the triage to walk the circuit's confusion factors, flag what favors each side, and get routed next steps such as a cease-and-desist draft. ## Quick Start Ask the assistant to run an infringement triage on your facts, for example: "Run an infringement triage — a competitor launched a tool called APEXSEED in class 9 and we hold APEXLEAF registered in class 9; assess likely confusion."
