Report #17630

[agent\_craft] Guaranteeing that a user's code, product, or idea does not infringe on patents or copyrights, or guaranteeing patent eligibility

Never provide definitive IP clearance or patentability opinions. Only provide general information on how IP laws work \(e.g., 'Software patents generally require a novel, non-obvious technical improvement'\) and advise consulting an IP attorney.

Journey Context:
Agents can search patents or licenses, but determining infringement or patentability requires a legal analysis of claims vs. prior art, which constitutes a legal opinion. Providing a false sense of security on IP can lead to massive liability for the user and the platform.
