When to Use
Use this skill in the following scenarios:
- Drafting a patent technical disclosure from an inventor’s informal or incomplete technical description.
- Structuring an invention description into standard patent-style sections (field, background, summary, embodiments, drawings).
- Preparing for a novelty search by extracting keywords, synonyms, and IPC suggestions from a technical solution.
- Finding related patents and producing a similarity comparison against the user’s key technical features.
- Improving patent readiness by identifying missing technical details and proposing claim-writing directions (non-legal, for drafting support).
Key Features
- Converts colloquial technical descriptions into a structured patent technical disclosure document.
- Uses a guided information-collection checklist to fill gaps (problem, prior art defects, core solution, features, effects).
- Generates a disclosure with a consistent section template (Title, Field, Background, Summary, Detailed Description, Drawings, Keywords).
- Performs multi-platform patent search orchestration via a CLI script and supports optional similarity analysis.
- Produces novelty-oriented analysis: similarity ranking, key-feature comparison, and preliminary novelty judgment.
- Provides post-draft optimization suggestions (claim directions, expansion ideas, missing details to supplement).
Dependencies
- Python
>= 3.9
- (Optional, if enabled by the project) Common Python packages for HTTP parsing and analysis, such as:
requests >= 2.28beautifulsoup4 >= 4.11lxml >= 4.9
Note: Exact runtime dependencies may vary depending on how scripts/patent_search.py is implemented in your repository.
Example Usage
1) Generate a Patent Technical Disclosure Document
User prompt
Help me write a patent disclosure document:
I designed a system that uses an on-device model to detect abnormal vibration patterns in industrial motors.
It compresses sensor streams, runs anomaly detection locally, and only uploads event snippets to reduce bandwidth.
