SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

This Skill helps you review agreement IP clauses so you can quickly identify ownership, assignment, licence-scope, and warranty/indemnity issues that could later fail in practice or create diligence risk.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Assignment gap detection (UK statutory formality): Checks CDPA 1988 s.90 (copyright), TMA 1994 s.24 (trade marks), and PA 1977 s.30 (patents) and flags clauses that are legally ineffective or unclear (e.g., “agreement to assign” vs effective assignment).
  • Clause-by-clause IP risk memo with redlines: Produces a prioritised memo (Critical to Low) explaining what each clause does, why it matters, and suggested redline language where appropriate.
  • Cross-clause and jurisdiction checks: Verifies consistency across licence/warranty/indemnity/termination and notes UK-specific issues (moral rights, employed-works default, and post-Brexit UK/EU split where relevant).

Quick Start

Paste the agreement text or provide a file path, then ask it to review the IP clauses and produce a risk-prioritised memo with proposed redlines.

FAQPage Schema
How do I review IP clauses in a UK agreement for assignment gaps?

To review IP clauses for assignment gaps, the Skill checks UK statutory formalities like CDPA 1988 s.90, TMA 1994 s.24, and PA 1977 s.30, then flags legally ineffective language such as an agreement to assign versus an effective assignment.

What is the difference between an agreement to assign and an effective copyright assignment under CDPA 1988?

An agreement to assign copyright under CDPA 1988 s.90 is a future promise, whereas an effective assignment requires specific statutory formalities. The Skill identifies this distinction during IP clause review and flags clauses that are legally ineffective.

How do I generate a risk-prioritised memo with redlines for IP licence scope and warranties?

You can generate a risk-prioritised memo with redlines by pasting your agreement text into the Skill. It produces a clause-by-clause analysis ranging from Critical to Low risk, explaining warranty issues and suggesting corrective redline language.

Can I check cross-clause consistency for IP allocation across vendor MSAs and SOWs?

Yes, you can check cross-clause consistency for IP allocation across vendor MSAs and SOWs. The Skill verifies consistency across licence, warranty, indemnity, and termination clauses to ensure IP allocation and grant scope are validated.

Does the IP clause review cover moral rights waivers and post-Brexit UK and EU jurisdiction splits?

The IP clause review does cover moral rights waivers and post-Brexit UK and EU jurisdiction splits. It notes these UK-specific issues alongside employed-works default rules during the clause-by-clause analysis process.

What types of agreements are suitable for IP ownership and trade marks validation?

Suitable agreements for IP ownership and trade marks validation include employment, consulting, SOW and services, vendor MSAs, and licensing or collaboration documents where IP allocation and grant scope must be validated against a configured practice profile.
