SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

💡 This Skill includes references (resource) components.

What problem does it solve?

It helps you assess whether an invention is likely to be novel and non-obvious in a patentability context by analyzing prior art against extracted claim elements.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Novelty (Anticipation) Check: Breaks an invention into preliminary claim elements and tests whether any single prior art reference discloses all elements.
  • Non-Obviousness (Inventive Step) Check: Evaluates whether combinations of prior art references could be combined with a plausible motivation to render the claims obvious.
  • Jurisdiction-Specific Output: Produces a structured assessment across US (35 USC 102/103), CN (Art. 22), and EP (Art. 54/56), including pass/fail style verdicts and risk factors.
  • Cross-Model Examiner Verification: Optionally invokes a senior patent-examiner style review via an MCP Codex model for additional rigor.

Quick Start

Provide a brief invention description to the skill and point it at your generated prior art report so it can write patent/NOVELTY_ASSESSMENT.md with novelty and non-obviousness findings.

Frequently Asked Questions about patent-novelty-check

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

FAQPage Schema
How do I check if my invention is novel against prior art references?

To check patent novelty, the skill extracts preliminary claim elements from your invention description and tests whether any single prior art reference discloses all elements, outputting structured anticipation findings.

How does non-obviousness evaluation work for method and system claims?

Non-obviousness evaluation analyzes whether combinations of prior art references could be combined with a plausible motivation to render method or system claims obvious, applying jurisdiction-specific inventive step reasoning.

Can I assess patentability across USPTO, CNIPA, and EPO jurisdictions?

Yes, the skill produces structured patentability assessments across US (35 USC 102/103), CN (Art. 22), and EP (Art. 54/56) jurisdictions, including pass/fail style verdicts and risk factors.

What do I need to provide to run a patentability assessment?

You need to provide a brief invention description and a generated prior art report, which the skill uses to extract claim elements and write a structured novelty and non-obviousness assessment file.

Does the patentability screening support examiner-style verification?

Yes, the skill optionally invokes a senior patent-examiner style review via an MCP Codex model to provide additional rigor and cross-model verification for the anticipation and obviousness findings.

When should I use an automated prior art analysis for patent drafting?

Use automated prior art analysis during patent drafting and patentability screening to identify anticipation risks and amendment guidance before submission, reducing the likelihood of office action rejections.
