Invention Structuring
Structure the invention into a formal disclosure based on: $ARGUMENTS
Adapted from the refinement pattern in /research-refine for patent invention decomposition.
Constants
REVIEWER_MODEL = gpt-5.5 — External reviewer for invention decomposition validation
MAX_REFINEMENT_ROUNDS = 3 — Maximum structuring iterations
Inputs
- Invention description from
$ARGUMENTS
patent/INVENTION_BRIEF.md if exists
patent/PRIOR_ART_REPORT.md — prior art landscape
patent/NOVELTY_ASSESSMENT.md — novelty analysis
Shared References
Load ../shared-references/patent-writing-principles.md for the Problem-Solution-Advantage framework and claimable subject matter guidelines.
Workflow
Step 1: Problem-Solution-Advantage Framework
Structure the invention using the universal patent framework:
Technical Problem (要解决的技术问题):
- Derived from prior art deficiencies identified in NOVELTY_ASSESSMENT.md
- Must be a specific, technical problem (not a commercial or social problem)
- Statement format: "The technical problem to be solved is how to [specific technical objective] given [specific technical constraint]."
Technical Solution (技术方案):
- The invention's specific technical contribution
- Focus on the mechanism, not the result
- Must be described at a level that matches the intended claim scope
- Identify which features are known vs. inventive
Advantages (有益效果):
- Measurable or quantifiable improvements over prior art
- Must result from the inventive features, not just good engineering
- Include specific technical effects if known (e.g., "reduces processing time by 40%")
Step 2: Invention Decomposition
Break the invention into three layers:
Core Inventive Concept (核心发明构思):
- The minimal set of features that make the invention patentable
- This maps to the independent claim scope
- Test: if you remove this feature, the invention is no longer novel
Supporting Features (支撑性特征):
- Features that make the invention work well in practice
