patent-novelty-check

To assess patent novelty and non-obviousness, map extracted claim elements against a prior art report to test single-reference anticipation and multi-reference obviousness with motivation to combine, generating a structured assessment report.

Checking patentability across jurisdictions involves evaluating claim elements against shared patent standards and writing a cross-jurisdiction assessment report aligned with 35 USC 102/103, CN patent law, and EPC novelty and inventive step criteria.

To evaluate patentability using a prior art report, parse the invention scope into claim elements, test them against prior art references for anticipation and obviousness, and output a structured NOVELTY_ASSESSMENT.md report.

Yes, you can analyze multi-reference obviousness by evaluating whether 2 to 3 prior art references together render a claim obvious, including generating a rationale for the motivation to combine them.

The patent novelty check works with an invention description to extract preliminary claim elements and draft claim language, utilizing an optional INVENTION_BRIEF.md file alongside a required PRIOR_ART_REPORT.md for analysis.

A limitation of automated claim element extraction is that it converts invention descriptions into preliminary claim elements and draft language for analysis, meaning the resulting patentability evaluation is advisory and requires legal review.
