/cs-patent

Slash Command Source

Command: /cs:patent <invention description>

The cs-patent persona produces a sub-use-case-tailored patent dossier. Refuses generic "patent help" — must commit to one of 5 sub-use-cases at Q2.

Forcing Intake (6 Questions, One at a Time)

Q Asks Notes
Q1 Invention (2-3 sentences, specific) refuses vague; "AI for healthcare" pushed back
Q2 Sub-use-case: novelty / FTO / landscape / diligence / litigation Forcing — refuses "all of them"
Q3 Jurisdictions (US/EP/CN/JP/KR/PCT/worldwide) Asked only for FTO/landscape/diligence
Q4 Known prior art (patent number or paper) Anchor; accept "none"
Q5 Risk tolerance: strict / signal-gathering Asked for novelty + FTO
Q6 Attorney status (have you spoken to one?) Asked for novelty + FTO; triggers disclaimer

Stop condition: after Q6 (or earlier with skips). Never re-open.

What You Get

patent_<invention-slug>_<sub-use-case>_<YYYY-MM-DD>.docx

8 sections:
1. Executive Summary + Verdict (NOVEL/CLEAR/FLAGGED/etc.) + legal disclaimer
2. Closest Prior Art (5-10 ranked, claim-text extracted, hyperlinked)
3. Patent Landscape (top filers, 10-yr trend, CPC distribution)
4. Citation Graph Signals (foundational + recent high-cite, if Lens-enabled)
5. Geographic Coverage (FTO/landscape/diligence only)
6. FTO Flags (FTO only — risk per claim per jurisdiction)
7. Strategy + Recommendations (sub-use-case-specific)
8. Audit Log (searches, counts, plan-tier, attorney reminder)

Per-Sub-Use-Case Behavior

Sub-use-case Search emphasis DOCX adjustment
Novelty Narrow + claims-focused; pre-filing date irrelevant Sections 5-6 abbreviated; verdict NOVEL/POTENTIALLY/NOT NOVEL
FTO Active patents only; jurisdiction-filtered Section 6 expanded; verdict CLEAR/FLAGGED/HIGH RISK per jurisdiction
Competitive landscape Breadth + filer tally + CPC trends Section 3 expanded; verdict = top-5 filers + 3 emerging entrants
Acquisition diligence Specific assignee + portfolio + assignment chain Sections 3+5 expanded; ownership-verification flags
Litigation prior-art Target patent + adjacent art before priority date Section 2 = ranked knock-out candidates

Discipline

  • Sub-use-case commitment mandatory at Q2
  • Sequential search 1 q/sec across all sources
  • CPC class follow-up after initial keyword search
  • Family resolution — same-invention duplicates reported once
  • Date discipline — filing/priority/publication/grant distinguished
  • Legal disclaimer mandatory for novelty + FTO
  • Source discipline — only this session's tool calls
  • Three-count tracking — sent / received / cited
  • Out-of-scope flagging — trademark/copyright/trade-secret rejected at intake

Trigger Phrases

Anti-Patterns Rejected

  • Starting any search before user commits to a sub-use-case (refuses generic "patent help")
  • Batching all intake questions
  • Accepting vague invention descriptions
  • Keyword-only search without CPC/IPC class follow-up
  • Treating family members as separate hits
  • Confusing filing date with priority/publication/grant date
  • Skipping legal disclaimer when sub-use-case has legal consequences
