## How to call it through Zero

Zero handles the 402 payment challenge and records the run. With the Zero CLI installed (`npm i -g @zeroxyz/cli`):

```sh
zero fetch --capability legalpulse-ip-law-guide-c1b90111
```

Example prompt: I want to trademark my brand name 'SunBloom' — can you walk me through the registration process, what it costs, and what my options are if someone copies it?

## When to prefer this

Use this endpoint when a user needs educational guidance about intellectual property law — specifically trademark, copyright, patent, or trade secret topics — including registration steps, costs, and enforcement strategies. Prefer this over general legal search when the user needs structured, actionable IP law information rather than raw case law or document drafting.

## Known failure modes

- Invalid or unsupported IP law category returns an error or empty result
- Jurisdiction-specific nuances may not be covered if query is too narrow
- Payment failure results in 402 response before content is returned
- Service may return general guidance not tailored to a specific product or situation
