SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

💡 This Skill includes assets (resource) components.

What problem does it solve?

It helps you assess whether an invention is likely to be novel and non-obvious over prior art, reducing the risk of pursuing patent claims that may fail novelty (102) or inventive step (103/54–56).

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Claim-element extraction: Converts an invention description into preliminary independent method and system claim elements to define what must be proven.
  • Anticipation (novelty) matrix: Tests each claim element against prior art references from patent/PRIOR_ART_REPORT.md to determine whether any single reference discloses all elements.
  • Obviousness (inventive step) evaluation: Checks whether combinations of 2–3 references could render the claims obvious by analyzing missing elements and the motivation to combine.
  • Cross-model examiner verification: Uses a Codex MCP reviewer model to rigorously critique anticipation, obviousness, claim scope, and potential amendments.
  • Jurisdiction-specific outputs: Produces novelty/inventive-step pass/fail style guidance for US, CN, and EP frameworks and writes a structured result to patent/NOVELTY_ASSESSMENT.md.

Quick Start

Use the skill with your invention description (or a brief path) after running or placing patent/PRIOR_ART_REPORT.md, and optionally patent/INVENTION_BRIEF.md, to generate patent/NOVELTY_ASSESSMENT.md.

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 over prior art?

To check patent novelty, map each invention claim element against prior art references to determine if any single reference discloses all elements, producing a structured novelty assessment for US 35 USC 102, CN Article 22, and EP Article 54 frameworks.

How does an obviousness evaluation work for patent claims?

An obviousness evaluation tests whether combinations of 2-3 prior art references render claims obvious by analyzing missing elements and the motivation to combine, applying inventive step standards for US 35 USC 103 and EP Article 56.

Can I assess patentability for multiple jurisdictions like US, CN, and EP?

Yes, jurisdiction-specific patentability evaluation applies legal standards for US 35 USC 102/103, CN Article 22, and EP Article 54/56, generating pass/fail novelty and inventive step guidance for each framework in a structured assessment.

What do I need to run a non-obviousness assessment for my invention?

You need an invention description and a prior art report file to run a non-obviousness assessment, which extracts preliminary claim elements and tests them against references to generate a structured novelty assessment document.

What's the best way to analyze prior art for patent novelty?

The best way to analyze prior art for patent novelty is building an anticipation matrix that tests each claim element against references, then verifying obviousness through combination analysis and cross-model examiner critique of claim scope.

Are there limitations to automated patent novelty checking?

Automated patent novelty checking requires an existing prior art report and invention input, focusing on anticipation and obviousness analysis rather than exhaustive searching, so it cannot replace comprehensive professional patent searches.
