name: cease-desist-drafter
description: >-
  Draft proportionate, source-backed intellectual-property cease and desist
  notices. Use when a rights holder needs to identify its patent, trademark,
  copyright, design, trade-secret, domain, or passing-off claim; preserve
  evidence; demand defined action; and propose a response or resolution path.
---

# Cease and Desist Drafter

Draft a credible enforcement communication, not a substitute for an infringement
opinion. Verify current law and right status before asserting legal conclusions.

## Intake

Obtain the jurisdiction, sender and recipient, asserted rights, registrations or
applications, title documents, relevant goods or services, alleged acts, dates,
territories, specimens, source URLs, prior communications, urgency, commercial
objective, desired demands, and litigation or regulatory context.

## Drafting method

1. Identify the sender's legal and beneficial interest and authority to enforce.
2. Verify the right's owner, status, scope, territory, priority, term, renewals,
   limitations, disclaimers, licences, security interests, and pending challenges.
3. Preserve and cite evidence of the recipient's conduct, date, source, audience,
   product, channel, and territory. Distinguish observation from inference.
4. State the protected subject matter precisely. Do not rely on a registration
   number without explaining the relevant claims, mark, work, design, secret, or
   goodwill.
5. Explain the infringement theory element by element and acknowledge material
   uncertainty, permitted use, exhaustion, licence, exception, defence, or
   validity issues requiring investigation.
6. Describe harm proportionately without unsupported sales, confusion, copying,
   wilfulness, criminality, or damages claims.
7. Tailor demands: cease identified acts, preserve evidence, remove or quarantine
   specified material, disclose channels or quantities where lawful, confirm
   compliance, account, negotiate, or provide an explanation.
8. Set a reasonable dated deadline and delivery method. Separate urgent
   preservation or interim-relief needs from ordinary response timing.
9. Offer a practical route for clarification, licence, coexistence, undertaking,
   settlement, or counsel-to-counsel engagement where appropriate.
10. Reserve rights without claiming remedies unavailable in the jurisdiction.

## Output

Provide the notice, a claim-and-evidence schedule, an annex list, open factual or
legal questions, service options, and recommended escalation steps.

## Guardrails

Do not threaten baseless proceedings, misstate registration or ownership, conceal
adverse facts, demand destruction contrary to preservation duties, or imply that
silence is admission. Avoid overbroad restraints on lawful speech, competition,
interoperability, repair, criticism, parody, or other protected activity. Obtain
local counsel review before sending high-stakes or cross-border notices.

name: infringement-analyst
description: >-
  Analyse alleged intellectual-property infringement element by element,
  including title, subsistence, scope, acts, territorial nexus, defences,
  evidence, causation, and remedies. Use for patent, trademark, copyright,
  design, trade-secret, domain-name, or passing-off disputes.
---

# Infringement Analyst

Select the right-specific test before comparing the parties' material. Keep
validity, infringement, ownership, defences, and remedies as separate questions.

## Intake

Obtain the jurisdiction, forum, dates, asserted right and records, prosecution or
registration history, title chain, licences, protected and accused material,
technical or market evidence, use territories, knowledge, prior art or prior use,
communications, relief sought, and relevant contractual restrictions.

## Analysis method

1. Identify each cause of action and the law applicable at the relevant date.
2. Test standing, ownership, exclusive-license rights, subsistence, registration
   status, term, priority, territorial reach, and enforceability.
3. Define the protected scope using the correct unit: patent claim, registered
   mark and specification, copyright expression or substantial part, registered
   design, identified secret, or protected goodwill.
4. Map every required element to supporting, contrary, missing, and disputed
   evidence. Do not collapse access, copying, similarity, confusion, use, and
   causation into one conclusion.
5. For patents, construe each asserted claim and chart every limitation against
   the accused product or process, including equivalent and excluded matter.
6. For marks and passing off, compare signs, goods or services, consumers,
   channels, distinctiveness, reputation, confusion, dilution, and honest use.
7. For copyright and designs, address protectability, originality or novelty,
   access, objective similarity, substantiality, exclusions, and independent creation.
8. For trade secrets, identify the secret with specificity and test secrecy,
   reasonable safeguards, acquisition, use, disclosure, and independent development.
9. Test jurisdiction-specific exceptions and defences, including licence,
   exhaustion, fair or permitted use, descriptive or nominative use, repair,
   research, interoperability, invalidity, delay, acquiescence, and limitation.
10. Assess preservation, disclosure, experts, surveys, testing, source code,
    confidentiality rings, border measures, interim relief, damages, accounts,
    injunctions, delivery up, and corrective action.
11. State conclusions by issue with confidence, assumptions, and next evidence.

## Output

Provide a rights-and-standing table, element matrix, comparison chart, chronology,
defence and validity matrix, evidence gaps, remedy assessment, and next-step plan.

## Guardrails

Do not infer copying from similarity alone, person-level intent from corporate
conduct, or validity from registration alone. Do not expose secrets or privileged
material in the analysis. Separate legal conclusions from technical or consumer
expert opinions and seek jurisdiction-specific review for contested matters.

name: ip-assignment-drafter
description: >-
  Draft and review transfers of intellectual-property ownership. Use for
  standalone assignments, acquisition schedules, founder or employee transfers,
  confirmatory assignments, commissioned works, security releases, or recordal
  documents involving patents, marks, copyright, designs, domains, or know-how.
---

# IP Assignment Drafter

Distinguish an assignment of ownership from a licence or covenant. Identify the
asset and transferred rights precisely enough for diligence and recordal.

## Intake

Obtain the jurisdiction, transaction and effective date, assignor and assignee,
asset schedules, applications and registrations, unregistered rights, works and
versions, inventors or authors, title chain, prior licences and encumbrances,
consideration, retained rights, accrued claims, employees or contractors,
recordal needs, and tax, stamp, exchange-control, or competition issues.

## Drafting method

1. Verify the assignor's identity, capacity, ownership, authority, and ability to
   transfer each scheduled asset.
2. Define the assigned property by asset, jurisdiction, registration or
   application number, version, class, domain, repository, know-how category, and
   related goodwill or business where required.
3. State whether the transfer covers all or specified rights, current and future
   rights, continuations, divisions, renewals, extensions, causes of action,
   recoveries, priority rights, and tangible embodiments.
4. Exclude retained assets, licences, fields, territories, improvements, data,
   third-party material, and background IP explicitly.
5. Address consideration, taxes, withholding, allocation, completion mechanics,
   conditions, effective time, delivery, access, credentials, and records.
6. Allocate prosecution, maintenance, recordal, enforcement, defence, cooperation,
   signatures, powers of attorney, costs, and further-assurance duties.
7. Address author or inventor rights, attribution, integrity, remuneration,
   statutory royalties, waiver limits, and employee or contractor formalities
   under current local law.
8. Include proportionate title, authority, non-infringement, encumbrance,
   litigation, validity, and disclosure warranties with negotiated qualifiers.
9. Preserve confidentiality and trade-secret safeguards during transfer.
10. Check writing, signature, witness, notarisation, legalisation, stamp, tax,
    consent, filing, and registry recordal requirements in every jurisdiction.

## Output

Provide the assignment, asset and exclusion schedules, title-gap list, execution
and completion checklist, recordal matrix, and post-completion action calendar.

## Guardrails

Do not describe unidentified IP as safely transferred, assume an employer owns
all work, waive non-waivable rights, transfer third-party or open-source rights,
or promise validity. Flag conflicts with existing licences, grants, security,
funding terms, standards commitments, joint ownership, and change-of-control rules.

name: ip-portfolio-analyst
description: >-
  Audit an intellectual-property portfolio for ownership, protection, scope,
  deadlines, territorial coverage, use, value, encumbrances, and enforcement
  risk. Use for diligence, integration, financing, governance, renewal planning,
  product launches, or recurring portfolio reviews.
---

# IP Portfolio Analyst

Build one source-linked asset register, then separate confirmed rights from
applications, unregistered assets, contractual interests, and business claims.

## Intake

Obtain entity and affiliate scope, jurisdictions, products and brands, registry
exports, invention and work records, agreements, employee and contractor terms,
licences, security interests, disputes, prosecution files, renewal data, domains,
repositories, confidential-information controls, budgets, and strategy.

## Audit method

1. Define the reporting date, entities, right types, countries, products, and
   materiality thresholds.
2. Normalise each asset with a stable ID, owner, creator, right type, subject
   matter, jurisdiction, number, status, dates, classes or claims, and source.
3. Verify live registry status and prosecution or renewal deadlines from
   authoritative sources; label unverified vendor or spreadsheet data.
4. Reconstruct title from creator or inventor through the current owner,
   including employment, contractor, merger, name change, assignment, recordal,
   joint ownership, and missing signatures.
5. Map assets to products, services, territories, revenue, roadmap, and
   competitors without treating volume as value.
6. Review protection gaps: filings, claim or specification coverage, evidence of
   use, copyright records, designs, domains, trade secrets, confidentiality, and
   defensive publications.
7. Identify outbound and inbound licences, coexistence terms, covenants, liens,
   funding obligations, standards commitments, settlements, restrictions, and
   change-of-control effects.
8. Separate ownership and validity review from freedom-to-operate; flag where a
   distinct clearance or infringement search is required.
9. Assess maintenance cost, remaining term, use, enforceability, geographic fit,
   dependency, substitution, evidence quality, and commercial relevance.
10. Create deadline, remediation, filing, abandonment, licensing, enforcement,
    and governance recommendations with owners and priorities.

## Output

Provide the verified register, title-chain matrix, deadline calendar, product and
territory coverage map, licence and encumbrance schedule, gap and risk register,
and prioritised portfolio action plan.

## Guardrails

Do not assume registry ownership proves complete title, a pending application is
a granted right, or ownership provides freedom to operate. Protect unpublished
inventions and secrets. Confirm current status, fees, grace periods, restoration,
and recordal rules with the relevant office and qualified local counsel.

name: licensing-agreement-reviewer
description: >-
  Review and draft intellectual-property licences for scope, exclusivity,
  territory, economics, quality control, improvements, enforcement, risk, and
  termination. Use for patent, trademark, copyright, software, data, design,
  content, technology, know-how, franchise, or mixed-IP agreements.
---

# Licensing Agreement Reviewer

Translate the commercial deal into an auditable permission set. Keep licensed
rights, retained rights, restrictions, deliverables, and dependencies explicit.

## Intake

Obtain the parties and affiliates, jurisdiction, IP schedules and title records,
products, field, territory, channels, exclusivity, sublicensing, term, economics,
technology transfer, standards or regulatory constraints, third-party material,
open-source components, data, improvements, enforcement, and exit objectives.

## Review method

1. Verify ownership, authority, right status, existing grants, encumbrances, and
   whether registration, consent, or recordal is required.
2. Define the licensed asset, version, claims, marks, works, designs, know-how,
   documentation, data, updates, and tangible deliverables.
3. Map permitted acts by right, product, field, territory, channel, customer,
   affiliate, contractor, and sublicensee. State all reserved rights.
4. Test sole, exclusive, and non-exclusive language against carve-outs, retained
   use, competing licences, minimum performance, milestones, and conversion rights.
5. Review fees, royalties, bases, deductions, bundles, transfer pricing, currency,
   tax, withholding, reports, records, audit, underpayment, interest, and forecasts.
6. For trademarks, require suitable quality standards, approvals, inspection,
   brand rules, goodwill attribution, use evidence, and post-termination transition.
7. Allocate prosecution, maintenance, infringement notices, control of actions,
   settlements, recoveries, defence, and cooperation.
8. Allocate improvements, derivatives, feedback, data, models, inventions,
   authorship, source code, escrow, interoperability, and open-source compliance.
9. Test confidentiality, trade-secret controls, cybersecurity, privacy, export,
   sanctions, competition, product, advertising, and regulatory obligations.
10. Review warranties, disclaimers, indemnities, caps, insurance, injunctive
    relief, assignment, change of control, termination, survival, sell-off,
    deletion or return, continued support, and stranded-user risk.
11. Produce fallback language tied to each party's priorities.

## Output

Provide an executive risk summary, permission-and-restriction matrix, issue list,
clause comments, proposed language, economics checklist, and termination map.

## Guardrails

Do not treat access as a licence, silence as permission, or ownership as freedom
to operate. Do not overlook non-waivable royalties, moral rights, competition
limits, open-source obligations, privacy, or export controls. Verify formalities
and recordal requirements under current law in each relevant jurisdiction.

name: trademark-opposition-drafter
description: >-
  Draft and review Indian trademark opposition, counterstatement, evidence, and
  rectification materials. Use for Trade Marks Registry proceedings involving
  absolute or relative grounds, prior rights, non-use, bad faith, passing off,
  specification defects, or register correction under current Indian law.
---

# Trademark Opposition Drafter

Apply the Trade Marks Act, 1999, Trade Marks Rules, 2017, current notifications,
Registry practice, forms, fees, and binding decisions as at the filing date.

## Intake

Obtain the opposed or challenged mark, application or registration number,
Journal publication and page, classes and specification, applicant or proprietor,
opponent or applicant details, priority and use dates, registration certificates,
search results, use and reputation evidence, correspondence, procedural service,
current status, and desired relief.

## Procedure and analysis

1. Confirm whether the matter is opposition, counterstatement, cancellation for
   non-use, rectification, invalidity, or another proceeding; standing and relief differ.
2. Verify Registry status, Journal date, statutory provision, current TM form,
   official fee, service method, address for service, and every deadline from
   authoritative sources. Opposition ordinarily follows publication and must be
   filed within the current statutory window; do not rely on a saved calendar.
3. Build a priority chronology for adoption, application, registration, first
   use, reputation, knowledge, publication, notice, and challenged use.
4. Identify only supportable grounds, including absolute grounds, relative
   grounds, earlier rights, prior continuous use, passing off, bad faith,
   prohibited matter, non-use, entry without sufficient cause, or remaining
   wrongly on the register.
5. Compare marks overall and by visual, phonetic, conceptual, structural, and
   dominant features without mechanically dissecting them.
6. Compare goods or services, consumers, purchasing conditions, trade channels,
   price, geography, imperfect recollection, distinctiveness, reputation,
   confusion, association, and honest concurrent use where relevant.
7. Plead material facts, not evidence or unsupported conclusions. Tie each fact
   to a ground and preserve consistent dates, names, classes, and relief.
8. For a counterstatement, admit, deny, or require proof paragraph by paragraph;
   state the applicant's positive case, defences, and prior-use position.
9. Build a separate evidence plan for affidavits, registrations, sales, invoices,
   advertising, digital records, market reach, enforcement, confusion, searches,
   and witnesses, with provenance and admissibility checks.
10. Prepare service, filing, evidence-stage, hearing, appeal, and settlement
    calendars and recheck them after every Registry communication.

## Output

Provide the pleading, allegation-and-ground matrix, mark and goods comparison,
chronology, evidence schedule, form and fee checklist, service record, and live
procedural calendar.

## Guardrails

Do not invent use, sales, reputation, confusion, searches, service, or Registry
status. Do not plead every possible ground without facts. Protect privileged and
confidential evidence and use qualified Indian trademark counsel to verify the
current form, fee, deadline, affidavit, service, and hearing requirements.
