| Fact | Value |
| --- | --- |
| Practice area | [Intellectual Property — Patents, Trade Marks, Copyright, Designs](https://ailawframework.com/practice/intellectual-property-patents-trade-marks-copyright-designs.md) |
| Human involvement | Green: AI drafts, lawyer checks |
| How AI is used | From the client's trade mark registrations or copyright ownership records, prepare the Notice of Objection and the Deed of Undertaking on the firm's validated templates, build the product identification guide for border officers, and diarise the expiry and the trade mark renewal dates. |
| What the lawyer must review | Approve the templates once at setup, then confirm for each notice that the client owns a current registration or copyright in the material, that the client accepts the cost undertaking, and that a separate notice is lodged for each type of right. |

## Checking plan

**Lawyer review required**

The responsible lawyer reviews the work against the instructions, sources and intended use.

- What the AI does: From the client's trade mark registrations or copyright ownership records, prepare the Notice of Objection and the Deed of Undertaking on the firm's validated templates, build the product identification guide for border officers, and diarise the expiry and the trade mark renewal dates.
- What the lawyer does: Approve the templates once at setup, then confirm for each notice that the client owns a current registration or copyright in the material, that the client accepts the cost undertaking, and that a separate notice is lodged for each type of right.
- Who reviews: Responsible lawyer with competence in the matter
- Basis: Practical workflow informed by the linked primary sources; the traffic light and working checks are editorial guidance, not a court classification.
- Why: The level reflects what the work is, the consequence of an error, and how much of the output the lawyer must independently re-derive.

## Checks the lawyer makes

1. Confirm the instructions, the jurisdiction and the complete relevant material before starting.
2. Confirm each trade mark relied on is registered and current.
3. Confirm the client has authorised the undertaking to repay seizure costs.
4. Diarise the four-year expiry and any trade mark renewal that falls before it.
5. Check the output against the source documents named in it before it is relied on.

## Notes

- These are suggested working checks. Confirm the required checking with the responsible lawyer before work starts; the checking approach does not establish permission to use AI.
