What problem does it solve?

This Skill helps you translate an invention disclosure into clear, jurisdiction-aware patent claims that define the legal scope of protection and stand up to examiner review.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Jurisdiction- and patent-type aware claim drafting: Produces CN two-part (其特征在于), US open (comprising), and EP two-part (characterised in that) claim formats, including utility model constraints (apparatus-only for 实用新型).
  • Independent + dependent claim generation with fallbacks: Drafts a balanced set of independent claims and multiple dependent claims that narrow key features while preserving defensible breadth.
  • Examiner-style quality review loop: Uses a cross-model examiner review to check clarity, support, anticipation/obviousness, antecedent basis, and result-to-be-achieved language, then revises up to a capped number of rounds.

Quick Start

Use the claims-drafting skill to draft patent claims from patent/INVENTION_DISCLOSURE.md for your target jurisdiction by including patent/PRIOR_ART_REPORT.md and patent/NOVELTY_ASSESSMENT.md as supporting inputs.

Frequently Asked Questions about claims-drafting

High-intent search queries and answers about installing and using this skill.

FAQPage Schema
How do I draft patent claims that avoid prior art and survive examiner review?

To draft patent claims avoiding prior art, provide an invention disclosure and prior art report to generate independent and dependent claims, then run an examiner-style review loop checking clarity, support, and antecedent basis.

Can I generate dependent claims with fallbacks for US, CN, and EP patent formats?

Yes, generating dependent claim fallbacks for US, CN, and EP formats applies jurisdiction-specific language like CN two-part (其特征在于) or US open (comprising) to narrow features while preserving defensible breadth.

What is a novelty-driven amendment when drafting method or system patent claims?

A novelty-driven amendment applies findings from a novelty assessment to method and system patent claim drafting, ensuring the defined legal scope actively avoids prior art anticipation and obviousness rejections.

How do I format utility model claims for CN jurisdiction restrictions?

Formatting CN utility model claims requires drafting apparatus-only claims, as utility model constraints (实用新型) exclude method claims, ensuring the generated patent claims comply with local jurisdiction rules.

Do I need a novelty assessment and prior art report before drafting patent claims?

Yes, a novelty assessment and prior art report are required supporting inputs alongside the invention disclosure, because the drafting process applies novelty-driven amendments to avoid prior art and generate defensible claim scope.
