patent-analysis

patent-analysis is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from beita6969/ScienceClaw. It costs 48 tokens per session (767 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A research workflow for studying patents, earlier inventions, ownership, and possible conflicts between technologies.

In plain words
What is it for?
It supports prior-art searches, patent landscape mapping, patent-claim interpretation, freedom-to-operate checks, and intellectual-property strategy.
Why use it?
It helps developers understand whether an invention is new, who may already have rights to related work, and where legal risks might exist.

Token cost

What it costs to keep this loaded

Counted locally with the o200k_base tokenizer, which is exact for GPT models; Claude uses its own tokenizer and its counts differ. Treat this as one consistent yardstick across the catalogue rather than a bill. Prices are per million input tokens.

Security

Grade A, and why

patent-analysis scanned grade A with 0 findings against 26 rules in 11 categories — prompt injection, anti-refusal, data exfiltration, privilege escalation, supply chain, agent snooping, system-prompt leakage, SSRF and excessive agency — measured 9d ago.

A static scan of the body, not an audit. Every finding is printed with the line that produced it so you can judge whether it matters here. A mod is markdown that instructs an agent; that is exactly why what it instructs is worth reading.

Nothing flagged

None of the 26 patterns this scan looks for appear in this file: no shell pipes, no recursive deletes, no credential paths, no hidden text, no instruction-override or anti-refusal phrasing, no agent-config snooping. That is not a guarantee, it is the absence of the things that are checkable.

When to Trigger

Activate this skill when the user mentions:

  • Patent search, prior art, novelty search
  • Patent claims, claim construction, claim interpretation
  • Freedom to operate (FTO), infringement analysis
  • Patent landscape, technology mapping, IP portfolio
  • Provisional patent, utility patent, PCT application
  • Licensing, royalties, technology transfer
  • Patent classification (CPC, IPC), patent families

Step-by-Step Methodology

  1. Define the invention - Clearly articulate the novel technical features. Distinguish the invention from the prior art. Identify the technical problem solved and the solution provided.
  2. Prior art search - Search patent databases systematically: Google Patents, USPTO (PatFT/AppFT), Espacenet, WIPO PatentScope. Use keyword combinations, CPC/IPC classification codes, and citation analysis. Search non-patent literature (publications, conference papers) as well.
  3. Landscape analysis - Map the patent landscape: identify key players, filing trends over time, geographic distribution, technology clusters. Use patent classification to categorize technologies. Identify white spaces (underpatented areas).
  4. Claim analysis - Parse claims into elements. Identify independent vs. dependent claims. Map claim elements to technical features. For FTO: compare each element of relevant claims against the proposed product/method.
  5. Novelty and non-obviousness assessment - Compare invention against closest prior art references. Identify elements that are novel (not found in any single reference) and non-obvious (not a trivial combination of references to a person of ordinary skill in the art).
  6. IP strategy recommendation - Advise on filing strategy: provisional vs. utility, domestic vs. PCT, continuation and divisional applications. Consider timing (grace periods, priority dates). Evaluate trade secret vs. patent protection trade-offs.
  7. Documentation - Prepare invention disclosure with: title, inventors, technical field, background, description of embodiments, and claims outline. Note that legal patent drafting requires a registered patent attorney.

What this file has done since we first saw it

Hashed on every crawl. A supply-chain change to an agent config is a question of when, not whether, so the history is kept rather than the latest state alone.

patent-analysis is a skill published in the GitHub repository beita6969/ScienceClaw (898 stars, last pushed 3mo ago), licensed MIT. It adds 48 tokens to every session and 767 once invoked, about $0.0002 per session on Opus 5. A static security scan graded it A with 0 findings. No closer match exists in the catalogue, so it is treated as the original; first seen 2026-09-03.
