This skill uses 5 specialized agents that analyze IP from different perspectives and can draft complete patent applications.
| Output | Description |
|---|---|
| Prior Art Report | Similar existing patents and publications |
| Patentability Assessment | Analysis of novelty and non-obviousness |
| Draft Claims | Example patent claim language |
| IP Strategy | Recommended protection approach |
| Full Patent Draft | Complete patent application document with figures |
| Patent Figures | Generated technical drawings (via image-generation skill) |
GOOGLE_API_KEY - For generating patent figures (uses image-generation skill)pip install markdown weasyprint - For PDF generationThis agent is request-driven. Just tell it what you want and it will do what's needed:
| You Ask | What Happens |
|---|---|
| "Look at this product, can I patent it?" | Researches product, searches prior art, assesses patentability |
| "Search for prior art on X" | Just searches for existing patents/publications |
| "Is my idea patentable?" | Gathers details, searches prior art, gives assessment |
| "Draft a patent for my invention" | Full patent application (does prior art search too) |
| "Write claims for this" | Just drafts patent claims |
| "What's the IP strategy here?" | Strategy advice (patent vs trade secret, timing, costs) |
| "How can I get around this patent?" | Analyzes claims, finds gaps, suggests design alternatives |
You don't need to follow a rigid workflow. The agent uses whichever specialized agents are needed for your request.
"Can I patent this?" / "Look at this product and assess patentability"
What it does:
Uses agents: Prior Art Searcher, Patentability Analyst
"Search for prior art on foldable drone designs"
What it does:
Uses agents: Prior Art Searcher
"Write a complete patent for my invention" / "Create a patent document for this"
Use the AskUserQuestion tool for each question below. Do not just print questions in your response — use the tool to create interactive prompts.
Q1: Invention
"I'll draft a complete patent application for your invention!
⚠️ Note: This is informational only, not legal advice.
First — tell me about your invention.
(What is it? How does it work? What problem does it solve?)"
Wait for response.
Q2: Figures
"Do you want me to generate patent figures?
- 📐 Yes — perspective views, cross-sections, block diagrams (B&W technical drawings)
- 📝 No — figure descriptions only (you'll create your own drawings)
(Generating figures requires
GOOGLE_API_KEY)"
Wait for response.
What it does:
Uses agents: Prior Art Searcher, Patent Drafter + image-generation skill (if figures requested)
Output: Full patent application in Markdown + generated figure images (if requested)
"Analyze my invention and then draft the patent"
What it does:
Uses agents: All 5 agents + image-generation (if figures requested)
Note: Will ask about figure generation preference (same as section 3)
"Should I patent this or keep it as a trade secret?"
What it does:
Uses agents: IP Strategy Advisor
"Draft patent claims for my wireless charging system"
What it does:
Uses agents: Claims Strategist
"How can I get around this patent?" / "Analyze this patent and find ways to design around it"
Use the AskUserQuestion tool for each question below.
Q1: Patent
"I'll analyze that patent and identify design-around opportunities!
⚠️ Note: This is informational only, not legal advice.
First — which patent do you want to analyze?
(Provide patent number, URL, or describe the patented technology)"
Wait for response.
Q2: Your Goal
"What's your goal?
- Build a competing product
- Improve on the patented technology
- Avoid infringement in my own invention
- Understand the patent landscape
- Or describe your specific situation"
Wait for response.
Q3: Report Depth
"How detailed should the analysis be?
- Quick overview — key claims and obvious gaps
- Standard analysis — claims breakdown + design alternatives
- Deep dive — comprehensive FTO report with multiple strategies"
Wait for response.
What it does:
Output: Design-Around Report
## Patent Analysis: [Patent Number]
### 1. Patent Overview
- Title, assignee, filing date, status
- Core invention summary
### 2. Claim Analysis
- Independent claims breakdown
- Claim elements and limitations
- What's actually protected vs. assumed
### 3. Design-Around Opportunities
| Alternative | How It Differs | Risk Level | Feasibility |
|-------------|----------------|------------|-------------|
| Option A | Changes X to Y | Low | High |
| Option B | Omits element Z| Medium | Medium |
### 4. Prior Art That May Narrow Scope
- Patents/publications that predate this patent
- Potential invalidity arguments
### 5. Recommended Strategy
- Safest approach
- Cost/benefit analysis
- Next steps
### ⚠️ Disclaimer
This is informational guidance only. Consult a patent attorney.

Analyze a product:
"Look at the Dyson bladeless fan and tell me if I could patent a similar concept with my modifications"
Check patentability:
"I invented a new way to charge phones wirelessly from across the room. Is it patentable?"
Prior art search:
"Search for prior art on foldable drone designs"
Full patent from idea:
"I have an idea for a self-watering planter. Create a complete patent application for it."
Draft patent:
"Write a patent for my new compression algorithm"
