clearance

0upvotes

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.

# /clearance

**This is a triage, not a clearance opinion.** A trademark clearance opinion
requires a full professional search and registered trademark counsel's
judgment. A "no obvious conflicts" result means the triage
didn't find anything — it does not mean the mark is clear. Clients have been
sued over marks that passed a knockout search.

## Instructions

1. Read `~/.claude/plugins/config/claude-for-legal/ip-legal/CLAUDE.md`. If it
   contains `[PLACEHOLDER]`, stop and direct to `/ip-legal:cold-start-interview`.
2. Follow the workflow below.
3. Run intake (mark, goods/services, classes, jurisdictions, visual/stylization).
