Claim Analysis

Purpose

Perform detailed claim analysis by comparing product specification against patent elements from database and recording similarity results.

Prerequisites

• features table must exist with product features populated
• patents.db must exist with elements table populated (from evaluation skill)
• Load investigation-fetching skill for data retrieval operations
• Load investigation-recording skill for data recording operations

Constitution

Core Principles

Skill-Only Database Access:

• ALWAYS use the Skill tool to load investigation-fetching for ALL database retrieval operations
• ALWAYS use the Skill tool to load investigation-recording for ALL database recording operations
• NEVER write raw SQL commands or read instruction files from investigation-fetching/investigation-recording

Descriptive Technical Language:

• Avoid legal assertions ("invalid", "valid", "Does not satisfy")
• Use descriptive technical language for analysis notes

Skill Orchestration

Execute Claim Analysis

Do NOT delegate to subagents (Agent tool) — invoke Skills directly from this session.

Process:

1. Get Patents to Analyze:

   • Invoke Skill: investigation-fetching with request "Get list of patents with elements but no similarities"

2. For each patent, execute Steps 2a–2e in order:

   2a. Get Data from Database:

   • Invoke Skill: investigation-fetching with request "Search features"
   • Invoke Skill: investigation-fetching with request "Get elements for patent "

   2b. Check Feature Coverage for Each Element:

   • For each patent element, invoke Skill: investigation-fetching with request "Search feature: <element_label>"
   • If feature NOT found: Do NOT record as 'absent' automatically
     • Check test environment: echo $SKILL_BENCH_TEST_CASE
     • If SKILL_BENCH_TEST_CASE is set (testing mode): Use Skill: skill-bench-harness:question-responder with "Does the product have this feature: <element_description>?"
     • If SKILL_BENCH_TEST_CASE is NOT set (normal mode): Use AskUserQuestion tool
     • If positive: Invoke Skill: investigation-recording to record feature with presence='present'
     • If negative: Invoke Skill: investigation-recording to record feature with presence='absent'
     • If positive: Invoke Skill: investigation-recording to record feature with presence='present'
     • If negative: Invoke Skill: investigation-recording to record feature with presence='absent'

   2c. Comparison Analysis:

   • Compare product features against patent elements
   • Determine similarity level: Significant, Moderate, or Limited
   • Write detailed analysis notes

   2d. Record Similarities:

   • Invoke Skill: investigation-recording with request "Record similarities for patent : <similarities_data>"
   • Include: patent_id, claim_number, element_label, similarity_level, analysis_notes

   2e. Legal Compliance Check:

   • Invoke Skill: legal-checking with request "Check the following analysis notes for legal compliance: <analysis_notes>"
   • Revise if violations found

3. Verify Results: Confirm similarities were recorded to database

State Management

Initial State

• Patents in elements table without corresponding similarities entries exist

Final State

• No patents in elements without corresponding similarities entries (all analyzed)
