Getting it into your agent
One page per mod, every tool's command on it. A separate URL per tool would split the same page into five that compete with each other.

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.
| Model | Per session | Once invoked |
|---|---|---|
| Fable 5.1 | $0.00081 | $0.00614 |
| Opus 5 | $0.00041 | $0.00307 |
| Sonnet 5 | $0.00016 | $0.00123 |
| Haiku 4.5 | $0.00008 | $0.00061 |
Grade A, and why
patsnap-ip-innovation-courses 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 12d 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.

IP & Innovation Courses
This skill connects your AI agent to Patsnap's IP & Innovation Courses MCP server.
With this skill, your agent can use Patsnap data and workflow capabilities for IP Intelligence tasks.
Prerequisites
This skill requires the Patsnap IP & Innovation Courses MCP server to be configured in your environment:
{
"mcpServers": {
"ip_innovation_courses": {
"url": "https://connect.patsnap.com/588922/mcp?apikey=YOUR_API_KEY",
"type": "streamableHttp"
}
}
}
Get your API key at open.patsnap.com.
For the full list of available tools and input parameters, refer to the official MCP server documentation: https://open.patsnap.com/marketplace/mcp-servers/ip-courses
Instructions for AI Agents
Step 1: Understand the user's search intent
Identify the target entities, date ranges, owners, patent numbers, technologies, or document types in the user's request.
Step 2: Choose the right workflow
Use semantic, fielded, identifier-based, analytics, or retrieval workflows according to the task and available MCP tools.
Step 3: Synthesize and cite
Present results in a structured format and cite returned patent numbers, record IDs, titles, organizations, or source names when available.
Example Workflows
- Use IP & Innovation Courses to analyze recent patent activity for a target technology.
- Find relevant patents and summarize the key applicants, dates, and technical themes.
- Compare the most important records returned by IP & Innovation Courses.

What ships with it
1 file beside SKILL.md in the same directory: the scripts, references and assets a skill reads on demand. Not counted in the per-session cost; read them before you install if any of them is executable.
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.

patsnap-ip-innovation-courses is a skill published in the GitHub repository patsnap/mcp (111 stars, last pushed 22d ago), licensed Apache-2.0. It adds 81 tokens to every session and 614 once invoked, about $0.0004 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 2026-08-30.
