Escalate High-Threat Patent Filings to a Linear Issue
Scores each incoming competitor patent against your active roadmap and, when a filing directly threatens a planned feature, opens a triaged Linear issue and pings the product lead.
How it runs
The automated pipeline, trigger to output.

What it does
Acts as a filter and escalator. It scores every detected competitor filing for how directly it overlaps your active roadmap, and only the genuinely threatening ones become action items. High-threat filings open a Linear issue with the analysis attached; everything else is logged quietly.
When to use it
Use it when your team is drowning in patent noise and needs only the filings that demand a product or legal response to surface as work. Best for product and IP teams that already run in Linear.
How it works
- 1A webhook trigger receives a detected competitor patent with its scraped claims.
- 2An agent scores the filing against your roadmap themes and assigns a threat level with reasoning.
- 3A logic branch routes by threat level: low and medium are appended to an Airtable log and stop there.
- 4High-threat filings continue: a Linear issue is created with the threat summary, claim excerpts, and a suggested owner.
- 5A Slack direct message notifies the product lead with the issue link so triage starts immediately.
