SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

Patent drafting requires precise, formal descriptions of technical figures paired with consistent reference numerals, a process that is tedious, error-prone, and time-consuming when performed manually for multi-figure patent applications.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Automated Figure Discovery: Scans project directories for patent figures (PNG, JPG, SVG, PDF) and identifies missing figures required by patent claims.
  • Consistent Reference Numeral Assignment: Automatically assigns per-figure 100-series numerals, cross-references components to claim elements, and maintains numeral consistency across all figures.
  • Jurisdiction-Aware Output: Generates compliant drawing descriptions for both Chinese (附图说明) and US/EP (FIG. descriptions) patent jurisdictions.
  • Use Case: A patent attorney drafting a medical device patent can use this skill to process system architecture and method flowchart figures, assign numerals to all components, and generate compliant drawing descriptions aligned with claim language.

Quick Start

Use the figure-description skill to process all patent figures in your project directory and generate formal drawing descriptions with reference numerals mapped to your invention disclosure and claims.

FAQPage Schema
How do I generate patent figure descriptions with consistent reference numerals?

To generate patent figure descriptions with consistent reference numerals, the skill processes technical diagrams and flowcharts from your project directory, automatically assigning per-figure 100-series numerals and cross-referencing components to claim elements. This ensures compliant formal drawing descriptions for multi-figure applications.

Can I use automated figure drafting for both Chinese and US patent applications?

Yes, you can use automated figure drafting for both Chinese and US patent applications. The skill is jurisdiction-aware, generating compliant formal drawing descriptions tailored for Chinese (附图说明) and US/EP (FIG. descriptions) patent filings from your provided technical figures.

How does cross-referencing figure components to claim elements work?

Cross-referencing figure components to claim elements works by scanning your patent claims and mapping the identified components in system architecture diagrams or flowcharts to corresponding claim language. This maintains numeral consistency across all figures and flags any missing figures required by the claims.

What file formats are supported for scanning technical diagrams in patent drafting?

Supported file formats for scanning technical diagrams in patent drafting include PNG, JPG, SVG, and PDF. The skill scans your project directories for these figure formats to identify components, assign reference numerals, and detect missing figures required by your patent claims.

Does automated patent drawing description flag missing figures required by claims?

Yes, automated patent drawing description flags missing figures required by claims. During the directory scanning process, the skill analyzes your patent claims and identifies any referenced figures that are absent from your project files, ensuring complete drawing compliance before submission.

What is the best way to maintain reference numeral consistency across multiple patent figures?

The best way to maintain reference numeral consistency across multiple patent figures is to automate the assignment using a jurisdiction-aware tool that applies per-figure 100-series numerals. This ensures components are consistently numbered and cross-referenced to claim elements without manual errors.
