ip-legal

Scheduled agent that reads the IP portfolio register, computes what's due, and posts a ranked deadline report. Runs weekly by default. Posts to the channel named in `~/.claude/plugins/config/claude-for-legal/ip-legal/CLAUDE.md` → Renewal alerts. Trigger phrases: "what's renewing", "IP deadlines", "portfolio check", "IP renewal report", or on schedule.

Draft a cease-and-desist letter (send mode) or triage one you received (receive mode). Use when asserting your rights against an infringer with a demand letter calibrated to your enforcement posture, or when an incoming C&D needs triage into a structured options memo with a recommendation.

Trademark clearance first pass — knockout + similar-marks check producing a flag list, not a clearance opinion. Use when a new mark is proposed, when asked whether a mark is available or to run a knockout search, or when assessing likelihood-of-confusion factors before a full professional search. This skill never concludes a mark is clear.

Run the cold-start interview to learn your IP practice and write your practice profile. Use on first install when the practice profile is missing or still contains placeholders, when re-onboarding with --redo, or when re-probing integrations with --check-integrations after connecting or disconnecting an MCP. This is the ONLY skill that should run on a fresh install.

Guided customization of your IP practice profile — change one thing without re-running the whole cold-start interview. Adjust risk posture, escalation contacts, portfolio scope, brand protection strategy, enforcement posture, clearance thresholds, OSS review rules, or matter workspace paths. Use when the user says "change my [thing]", "update my profile", "edit my config", or "customize".

Freedom-to-operate triage — a structured first look at potentially blocking patents, not an FTO opinion. Use when a product, process, or feature is being evaluated for blocking patents, when asked whether anything stops a launch, or to build a claim-chart first pass against the most plausible patents before patent counsel review. This skill never concludes a product is clear to launch.

Patent workflows — search patent and non-patent literature, legal texts, SEP technical standards, prior art, claim analysis.
