What This Skill Does

SJ-IRAC (Jiang-IRAC-Refusal) is a sophisticated reasoning engine designed for professional IP attorneys and practitioners handling CNIPA trademark refusal reviews. Unlike standard writing tools, it operates as a decision-support system that moves beyond surface-level template filling. It forces every argument into an IRAC-based legal structure, validates every piece of evidence against the rigorous SJ-6 evidentiary chain, and enforces objective risk-gating (A-E classification) to prevent clients from investing in doomed applications. The engine specifically addresses common refusal grounds such as Art. 30 (similarity), Art. 11 (lack of distinctiveness), Art. 10 (prohibited terms), and Art. 32 (prior rights), ensuring that the generated defense is not just a document, but a strategic legal roadmap.

Installation

To integrate this skill into your OpenClaw environment, execute the following command in your terminal or terminal-integrated UI:

clawhub install openclaw/skills/skills/jisngzhongling/jiang-irac-refusal

Ensure that you are logged into your organization's repository before installation. Once installed, the skill will be available as an active agent module within your project configuration.

Use Cases

1. High-Stakes Refusal Defense: Structuring a case for Art. 30 similarity objections by mapping specific product categories to evidence of distinct usage.
2. Evidentiary Gap Analysis: Evaluating whether existing evidence is strong enough to pass the SJ-6 test or if it is susceptible to counter-questions during the review process.
3. Risk-Gate Screening: Deciding whether to proceed with a review or to execute a pivot (such as '撤三' or filing a new application) when the A-E risk assessment indicates a high probability of total rejection.
4. Official Filing Preparation: Generating professional, neutral-toned legal arguments that are directly formatted for CNIPA submission.

Example Prompts

1. "Perform a Pro Mode analysis for this Art. 30 refusal: [Paste Refusal Text]. My evidence is [List of Evidence], and the cited trademark is [Citation Info]. Give me the risk grade and IRAC structure."
2. "I am facing an Art. 11 refusal. Based on my brand's 3-year usage logs, evaluate if I should challenge the rejection or consider a name change based on the risk-gate metrics."
3. "Prepare a Document Mode draft for an Art. 32 prior rights claim. Include the evidence directory and time-axis validation as per the SJ-6 protocol."

Tips & Limitations

• Input Quality: The engine is only as strong as the input. If you provide incomplete evidence lists, the skill will default to a 'Cautious' or 'Stop-loss' recommendation to protect your budget.
• Objective Stance: The tool is designed to prevent 'hallucinations'. It will refuse to invent case history or fake dates. If you lack evidence, it will explicitly tell you to stop rather than giving you a false sense of security.
• Compliance: Always verify generated arguments against the latest CNIPA 'Guidelines for Trademark Review' as policy interpretations may shift.
