prior-art-search

This Skill automates prior art searches across global patent databases and academic literature repositories like Google Patents, Espacenet, Google Scholar, and arXiv to identify relevant patents and literature for your invention.

A freedom-to-operate assessment evaluates overlap risk for intellectual property due diligence. This Skill classifies found references by relevance and outputs structured reports with preliminary infringement assessments to support it.

Yes, you can use this Skill for patent search and academic literature search across all technical domains. It queries global databases and categorizes references by relationship to the invention, such as anticipating or background.

To prepare a structured prior art report, provide an invention brief and this Skill will generate a standardized document featuring search strategies, reference tables categorized by overlap risk, and preliminary freedom-to-operate assessments.

The best way to classify prior art references is by overlap risk and relationship to the invention. This Skill categorizes findings into high, medium, or low risk, and anticipating, relevant, or background relationships.

Yes, prior art search works with non-patent literature by querying academic repositories like Google Scholar and arXiv alongside global patent databases to ensure comprehensive coverage for your intellectual property due diligence.
