patent-novelty-check

To assess patent novelty and non-obviousness, you compare extracted claim elements against prior art references. This analysis tests single references for absolute anticipation and reference combinations for obviousness to determine patentability.

Yes, jurisdiction-specific patentability evaluation applies US 35 USC 102/103, CN Article 22, and EP Article 54/56 reasoning. The assessment produces a structured matrix applying the appropriate legal standards for each territory.

Obviousness analysis examines combinations of 2–3 prior art references, including the motivation to combine them. This determines whether the claimed subject matter would be obvious to a person skilled in the art.

Yes, you need prior-art search outputs stored in the patent workspace, specifically a PRIOR_ART_REPORT.md file. The novelty assessment compares your invention's draft claim elements against these existing references.

Claim-element extraction converts an invention description into preliminary claim elements and draft independent claims, defining both method and system scope. These extracted elements are then tested against prior art for novelty.

Automated patent novelty analysis requires text-based invention descriptions and pre-existing prior art reports. It cannot replace formal legal counsel and relies on the completeness of the prior art references provided in the workspace.
