Patent Application Creator Skill

Complete end-to-end patent application creation from invention disclosure to USPTO-ready filing.

When to Use

Invoke this skill when users ask to:

  • Create a complete patent application
  • Draft a provisional patent application
  • Prepare a utility patent application
  • Write patent claims and specification
  • Generate a full patent filing package

What This Skill Does

Orchestrates the complete patent creation workflow:

  1. Prior Art Search → Identify existing patents
  2. Claims Drafting → Write independent and dependent claims
  3. Specification Writing → Create detailed description
  4. Diagram Generation → Produce technical figures
  5. Abstract Creation → Write concise summary
  6. Compliance Checking → Validate USPTO requirements
  7. IDS Preparation → List prior art for disclosure

Complete Workflow

Phase 1: Discovery & Research (15-30 min)

  1. Invention Interview:

    • Get detailed invention description from user
    • Extract key features and novel aspects

    • Correspondence address
    • Prior applications (if any)

  3. Cross-References:

    • Related applications
    • Priority claims
    • Provisional references

Output: Complete front matter

Phase 6: Compliance & Validation (15-20 min)

  1. Formalities Check:

    • Use Patent Claims Analyzer skill (formalities mode)
    • Abstract length: 50-150 words
    • Title length: < 500 characters
    • Required sections present
    • Drawing references valid

  2. Claims Compliance:

    • 35 USC 112(b) definiteness
    • Antecedent basis correct
    • No indefinite terms
    • Proper dependencies

  3. Specification Compliance:

    • 35 USC 112(a) written description
    • Enablement complete
    • Best mode disclosed
    • All claims supported

  4. MPEP Guidance:

    • Use MPEP Search skill
    • Verify format requirements
    • Check section 608 compliance
    • Review any special requirements

Output: Compliance report with fixes

Phase 7: Final Assembly (10-15 min)

  1. Document Assembly:

    • Title page
    • Abstract
    • Drawings (brief description)
    • Specification
    • Claims
    • Abstract (at end)

  2. IDS Preparation:
