Example Output
Example 1: Patent Risk Assessment
Product: Smart water bottle with app connectivity
Risk Score: MEDIUM (6.2/10)
Top Patent Concerns:
- U.S. Patent 10,234,567: IoT hydration monitoring (20% similarity)
Recommendation: Conduct full claim chart analysis before launch
- U.S. Patent 9,987,654: Wireless charging for water containers (40% similarity)
Recommendation: Consider design-around or licensing negotiation
Mitigation: Review existing patents in wearable hydration tech; consult patent counsel on claim avoidance strategies.
Example 2: Trademark Conflict Check
- Brand Name: "FlowSync"
- Risk Score: LOW (2.1/10)
- Findings: One international trademark using "Flow" in tech; no "FlowSync" exact match

Example 3: Copyright/Licensing Audit
- Content: Your published e-book with 5 stock images and 2 AI-generated designs
- Risk Score: HIGH (7.8/10) due to unclear image licensing history
