IP Safety Gate
Example session with this skill installed
I want to make a t-shirt that says 'May the Force be with you' in a cool retro 70s font for my Etsy store. Should I proceed?
- Read your context and instructions
- Compiled the ip safety gate
- Generated the document
I have evaluated your design request against the IP safety gate criteria. This request involves a highly protected cinematic franchise.
DECISION: ❌ REJECT
Reason: This is a direct, trademarked quote from the Star Wars film franchise owned by Disney, which is on the automatic reject list.
Fix: None possible for this specific phrase; avoid all Star Wars, Marvel, or Disney-related quotes and aesthetics.
Risk Assessment Audit
| Category | Status | Risk Level | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| Trademark | ❌ Fail | Critical | Registered trademark by Lucasfilm Ltd. |
| Personality Rights | ✅ Pass | Low | No specific actor likeness mentioned. |
| Platform Policy | ❌ Fail | High | Etsy and Printify proactively scan for 'May the Force'. |
| Copyright | ❌ Fail | Critical | Script excerpt from a protected cinematic work. |
Next steps
- Pivot to a generic space-themed design, such as "Astronomy Enthusiast" or "Future Astronaut."
- Research public domain NASA imagery which is generally safe for commercial POD use.
- Ensure any "retro 70s" fonts used carry a full commercial extended license for merchandise.

About this skill
The problem
Print-on-demand sellers face permanent shop bans on Etsy and Amazon because they accidentally infringe on trademarks or personality rights. Asymmetric risk means one bad design can destroy years of business growth.
What it does
- Screens every design idea, slogan, and character reference against a strict intellectual property database.
- Identifies high-risk elements like sports teams, movie quotes, song lyrics, and public figure likenesses.
- Provides a binary PASS/REJECT verdict or a FIX recommendation to salvage ideas.
- Enforces platform-specific compliance, such as Printify partner declarations for Etsy.
Why this beats prompting it yourself
General AI models are often too permissive and lack the specific "refuse by default" logic required for POD safety. This skill implements an asymmetric risk model that prioritizes shop longevity over creative edge cases.
Use cases
- Vetting trending meme phrases for active USPTO trademarks.
- Checking if a "inspired by" character design crosses into copyright infringement.
- Verifying public domain status for historical artwork or literary quotes.
- Reviewing niche hobby slogans for potential generic trademark squatting.
Known limitations
This is an operational risk filter, not formal legal advice. It cannot access real-time, live-only trademark filings from the last 24 hours.
