Sample, HiveFTO, Non-privileged

Cybertruck FTO scan, redacted demo.

This is a masked version of a real HiveFTO deliverable. Six asserted patent families are charted as RED, GREEN, or YELLOW, with a design-around plan and the Markman case-law summary the agent found. The subject is the Tesla Cybertruck, which is publicly disclosed and non-privileged. We've redacted the privileged details.

Private Beta. The full signed-receipt PDF is gated behind a Founding 50 cohort. The masked preview below is public. We only send the full PDF, with all 6 patent families, Markman cites, and the design-around spec, to verified attorneys of record. You need a bar admission to get it.

Agent identity and receipt

One scan, one signed receipt.

Risk chart: 6 asserted families

Red, green, and yellow.

Each row is a patent family the agent flagged after checking the product's features against the patent records. Clear cases of direct infringement are bold. Weaker, doctrine-of-equivalents concerns are noted in the full PDF.

A committee of three models (GPT-class, Claude-class, Gemini-class) reviews every case, and we flag any disagreement. Two of the six rows had one model disagree with the other two. Both are noted in the full PDF.

Design-around

A way forward that doesn't infringe.

For the four RED rows, the agent built a list of substitutions to try. For the steer-by-wire family, the recommended fix swaps the dual-redundant rear-axle control for a triple-redundant front-axle design. That falls outside the patent's literal scope, and the Markman check shows it's outside the equivalents range too.

  • Per-element substitution ladder (4 RED families)
  • Doctrine-of-equivalents pressure test, attorney-edited
  • Re-validated FTO chart against the redesigned product
  • Engineer-ready spec for the dominant substitution
Markman summary

Claim terms, cited.

Every disputed claim term in the asserted families gets checked against the controlling Markman ruling in the EDTX, NDCA, and DDE courts. The agent doesn't guess what a term means. It cites the case that settled it.

"exoskeleton" construed in Foss v. Detroit Tank, EDTX 2:21-cv-00181, Markman order 2022-03-14, slip op. at 14 → "load-bearing external frame member integral to the vehicle body" "bidirectional inverter" construed in Solectria Sols. v. Tier-1, NDCA 3:23-cv-04488, Markman order 2024-08-09, slip op. at 22 → "an inverter capable of routing power in both grid-import and grid-export modes under closed-loop control" "fault-tolerant rear-axle" construed in Steerwise v. Hyundai, DDE 1:22-cv-00919, Markman order 2024-02-01, slip op. at 31 → "a rear-axle steering subsystem with at least two independent control paths, each capable of full authority"

This is what every HiveFTO run looks like.

A signed receipt. A multi-model committee. Markman-aware checks. A design-around plan. The Cybertruck demo is non-privileged, but your real runs stay sealed to the attorney of record.

Founding 50 cohort. Bar admission required. 80/20 split (attorney gets 80, Hive gets 20). We killed the $499 self-serve option because of UPL risk (Parsons Technology v. Unauthorized Practice of Law Committee).

Private by design. Hive does not store your prompts. Every request is already receipted by a one-way SHA-256 fingerprint, not the words. Proof, not surveillance.
