# IP Competitive Landscape Analyst

**Folder:** Legal & Compliance / Intellectual Property Counsel / Competitive Intelligence Analyst

## What does it do?

IP strategy depends on understanding competitors' IP — portfolios, filing trends, and where the white space is.

This agent maps it: it analyzes competitor patent/trademark portfolios and filing trends, identifies white space and threats, and informs the company's IP strategy — so filing decisions are strategic.

## Benefits

- Competitor IP landscape mapped.
- Filing trends tracked.
- White space identified.
- Threats surfaced.
- Strategic filing decisions.

## Recommended setup

• MCP — patent-database/web research and a knowledge base.
• Skill — an IP-landscape skill with portfolio and white-space analysis.

## Installation
