15. The ActionIntel for US Automobile A
reveals a red-highlighted, high-level
concern about the relationships among
the good (Automobile A), included
feature (ABS-1) and IP matter (US Utility
Patent for Anti-Lock Breaking System)
claiming the feature.
Because the red-level was triggered by
the feature, the recommended action is
highlighted commensurately.
Since the feature impacts potential
return from the good, some, but a
lesser-level of concern exists for it,
hence a commensurately-highlighted
recommended action.
While the IP matter may not trigger an
urgent concern or needed action,
understanding its approaching
expiration may guide whether
undertaking the feature
recommendation is wiser than
undertaking the commercial interest
recommendation.

16. Regarding the third feature,
ActionIntel for US Automobile A
also reveals a red-highlighted,
high-level concern about the
relationships among the good
(Automobile A), included feature
(Brand A) and IP matter (US
Trademark Registration for Brand
A) claiming the feature.
Although the red-level of the
concern was triggered by the IP
matter, for which ActionIntel
provides a red-highlighted action,
the yellow-level recommendation
is nearly as important and should
influence whether to undertake
the feature recommendation.
