What problem does it solve?
This Skill provides a structured first look at potentially blocking utility patents without presenting the result as a freedom-to-operate opinion, helping teams identify patent risks before launch and route decisions to qualified patent counsel.
Core Features & Use Cases
- Patent Risk Triage: Evaluate supplied patents or preliminary search results against a product, process, or feature.
- Claim-Chart First Pass: Map every element of the most plausible independent claims to the product, while separating literal infringement, doctrine-of-equivalents, indirect infringement, and divided-infringement considerations.
- Counsel-Ready Memo: Record search scope, patent details, open questions, work-product protections, willfulness considerations, and recommended next steps for patent counsel review.
- Use Case: Before launching an on-device speech recognition feature in the United States, provide its technical architecture and any known patents to produce an element-by-element triage memo and identify design-around or licensing questions.
Quick Start
