Ip Legal

Track the IP portfolio — registrations, renewals, maintenance fees, and use declarations. Use when checking what's renewing, adding or updating an asset, recording a maintenance filing, or auditing the register for gaps, lapses, and use-in-commerce questions. Receives handoffs from prosecution and clearance work.

Open source license compliance check for a dependency list, a single library, or outbound code. Use when reviewing a manifest, SBOM, or repo for copyleft obligations and license compatibility, when asked whether a library can ship, or when preparing code to be open-sourced.

Review the IP clauses in an agreement — assignment, ownership, license grants, warranties, indemnities. Use when reviewing IP terms in employment, consulting, SOW, vendor, or licensing agreements, when asked to check the assignment language or license scope, or when an agreement with IP provisions is pasted or attached.

Manage matter workspaces — create, list, switch, close, or detach the active matter. Use in multi-client private practice to keep one client's context separate from another, or when a substantive skill needs to know which matter it's working in.
