# Overview

TMT and IP work sits at the intersection of commercial drafting, regulatory advisory, and product fluency. The [Research](https://jurisphere.gitbook.io/jurisphere-guide/research/overview-of-the-research-tool) database covers covers the full range of technology and IP statutes, telecom regulations, data protection frameworks and more, across 9+ jurisdictions. The [Word Add-In](https://jurisphere.gitbook.io/jurisphere-guide/word-add-in/overview-of-the-word-add-in) carries the contract work.

## The shape of the work

A TMT/IP workstream typically spans technology commercial contracts (SaaS, MSA, licensing, services), IP strategy and prosecution support, data protection compliance, and platform/content regulation. Tech-commercial contracts move in Word: the Add-In drafts and reviews SaaS, MSA, and licensing agreements in-place with TMT-specific [Review Playbooks](https://jurisphere.gitbook.io/jurisphere-guide/word-add-in/review-playbooks).

* [Research](https://jurisphere.gitbook.io/jurisphere-guide/research/overview-of-the-research-tool) carries the regulatory side: DPDP, IT Rules, GDPR, UK Data Protection, and US state-level privacy regimes are all part of the database.
* For privacy-policy and DPA drafting, [Custom Workflows](https://jurisphere.gitbook.io/jurisphere-guide/creating-custom-workflows) uploaded from your firm's templates adapt to the factual context of each new draft.

Licensing strategy, IP portfolio decisions, and product governance judgement remain with the partner.

## How the work moves

A mandate moves through the stages set out below. The detailed walkthrough — with the tools used in each stage uses and the call the lawyer still owns — is on the next page.

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:

```
GET https://help.jurisphere.ai/jurisphere-guide/handbook/technology-media-and-ip/overview.md?ask=<question>&goal=<endgoal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
