SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve? Reviewing intellectual property clauses in contracts is high-stakes and easy to get wrong — a missing assignment or ambiguous license scope can surface years later in M&A diligence, financing, or litigation. This Skill systematically reviews IP provisions in agreements and produces an actionable memo a lawyer can act on in one pass. ## Core Features & Use Cases - Assignment Gap Check: Prioritizes detecting missing or weak IP assignment language in employment, consulting, SOW, and work-for-hire agreements, including present-tense assignment, moral rights waivers, and further assurances clauses. - Clause-by-Clause Risk Memo: Analyzes ownership, license grants, warranties, indemnities, open source, and trademark clauses, rating each 🔴/🟠/🟡/🟢 with proposed redline language. - Cross-Clause & Jurisdiction Analysis: Checks consistency between grants, warranties, and indemnities, and flags jurisdiction-specific issues like moral rights, work-for-hire, and implied licenses. - Use Case: Paste a vendor SOW or provide a file path, and receive a structured memo with a bottom-line assessment, per-clause findings, escalation routing, and surgical redlines aligned to your practice profile. ## Quick Start Review the IP clauses in the attached consulting agreement and flag any assignment gaps or license scope issues with suggested redlines.

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

FAQPage Schema
How do I review IP clauses in a contract?

Provide the agreement as a file path, Drive link, or pasted text. The skill checks assignment language first, then reviews each IP clause for risk, cross-clause consistency, and jurisdiction issues, producing a memo with severity ratings and redline suggestions.

What is an IP assignment gap in a consulting agreement?

An assignment gap occurs when a contract lacks present-tense assignment language ("hereby assigns"), has narrow scope, or omits moral rights waivers and further assurances clauses. These gaps can surface years later in M&A diligence or litigation.

Does this skill work without a practice profile configured?

No. It requires a practice profile at the configured CLAUDE.md path defining jurisdiction footprint, approval routing, and output headers. If placeholders remain, it stops and directs you to run the cold-start interview first.

Can it review both sides of a licensing agreement?

Yes. The skill determines which side the company is on for IP — granting, receiving, or both — on a per-document basis. For collaboration agreements where both parties contribute and receive rights, it reviews each direction separately.

What are the limitations of automated IP clause review?

The skill flags ambiguous IP allocations for attorney review rather than deciding them, and tags citations requiring verification. It does not replace legal judgment on subjective allocation questions or evolving areas like AI-generated content copyrightability.
