- screen_patent - Screen ONE US patent by publication number (e.g. USD689332S1): compute its statutory expiry/status, join CPSC recall-safety for its category, and run an OFAC/OIG screen on the assignee.

Full off-patent opportunity report for a category slug (see list_categories): every newly-expirable design patent with computed expiry, CPSC recall-safety band, and OFAC/OIG supplier screen, ranked by actionability.
