What This Skill Does

The SJ-IRAC (Trademark Opposition & Invalidation Reasoning Engine) is a specialized legal engineering tool designed for intellectual property professionals. It transforms raw case materials into professional-grade, examiner-readable legal submissions by applying the IRAC (Issue, Rule, Analysis, Conclusion) methodology specifically tuned for CNIPA standards. It integrates a 'SJ-6' evidence chain verification system and a robust 'A–E' risk-gating mechanism to ensure that cases are evaluated not just on merit, but on strategic viability. The engine automatically filters out time-barred claims, assesses standing eligibility, and maps evidence to specific statutory articles, ensuring that your arguments are anchored in current PRC trademark law rather than generic AI conjecture.

Installation

To integrate this skill into your workflow, use the following terminal command within your OpenClaw environment: clawhub install openclaw/skills/skills/jisngzhongling/jiang-irac-opposition-invalidation

Use Cases

• Pre-filing Strategic Assessment: Determine if an opposition or invalidation action has a high probability of success based on current evidence against CNIPA precedents.
• Brief Drafting: Generate structured, article-precise arguments that align with examiner expectations, reducing the need for extensive editorial revision.
• Risk Mitigation: Utilize the built-in 'stop-loss' gate to identify fatal procedural flaws or evidentiary gaps before investing resources into a formal filing.
• Evidence Mapping: Automatically organize exhibit lists into the SJ-6 evidence chain format to clearly demonstrate the connection between proof, timeline, and legal assertion.

Example Prompts

1. "Analyze the trademark 'CLAWTECH' opposition case. I have a registered mark from 2018. Based on the provided similarity report, identify the primary and auxiliary grounds for opposition and check for any 5-year time-bar risks."
2. "Review my evidence inventory for this invalidation application. Map these documents to Article 30 of the Trademark Law and identify any missing links in the probative chain."
3. "Evaluate this potential invalidation case. If the probability of success is below 40% due to evidentiary weaknesses, draft a stop-loss report outlining why we should not proceed."

Tips & Limitations

• Data Integrity: The quality of output is entirely dependent on the quality of the input. Always provide accurate, raw data regarding registration dates, class categories, and evidence descriptions.
• Human Oversight: While SJ-IRAC performs high-level legal engineering, it is an assistant, not a lawyer. Always perform a final review of the generated legal arguments to ensure they account for nuanced, local judicial interpretations.
• Focus on Evidence: Do not rely on the engine to 'invent' facts. If evidence is missing, the engine will flag it as a risk; do not try to circumvent this by prompting for hypothetical scenarios.
