FAQPage Schema
How do I check patent novelty and non-obviousness against prior art?

To check patent novelty, compare your invention's claim elements against prior art references to determine if it is novel and non-obvious. This Skill automates that comparison and applies jurisdiction-specific legal standards to assess patentability.

What is the process for evaluating patentability for different legal jurisdictions?

Evaluating patentability for different legal jurisdictions involves applying jurisdiction-specific legal standards to your invention claims. This Skill assesses novelty and non-obviousness according to the relevant jurisdiction and verifies the analysis using advanced reasoning.

Can I use Codex to verify patent analysis results like a senior examiner?

Yes, you can use Codex MCP to verify patent analysis results by running a cross-model examiner verification. This process simulates a senior patent examiner review to validate the novelty and non-obviousness assessment of your claims.

Does this patentability assessment work for any invention description?

This patentability assessment works for any invention description provided as an argument. It requires Bash, Read, Write, WebSearch, and WebFetch tools to process the description, compare it against prior art, and generate a comprehensive novelty report.

What's the best way to determine if an invention is obvious based on a combination of references?

The best way to determine if an invention is obvious is to evaluate it based on a combination of prior art references. This Skill performs an obviousness analysis by comparing your claims against multiple references and applying legal assessment standards.
