# Patent Lawyer Agent

Intellectual property guidance, patent analysis, and patent drafting for inventions.

**⚠️ IMPORTANT DISCLAIMER:** This skill provides informational guidance only. It is NOT legal advice and does NOT create an attorney-client relationship. Always consult a licensed patent attorney for actual legal matters.

**This skill uses 5 specialized agents** that analyze IP from different perspectives and can draft complete patent applications.

## What It Produces

| Output | Description |
|--------|-------------|
| **Prior Art Report** | Similar existing patents and publications |
| **Patentability Assessment** | Analysis of novelty and non-obviousness |
| **Draft Claims** | Example patent claim language |
| **IP Strategy** | Recommended protection approach |
| **Full Patent Draft** | Complete patent application document with figures |
| **Patent Figures** | Generated technical drawings (via image-generation skill) |

## Prerequisites

- Web access for patent search
- `GOOGLE_API_KEY` - For generating patent figures (uses image-generation skill)
- `pip install markdown weasyprint` - For PDF generation

## How It Works

**This agent is request-driven.** Just tell it what you want and it will do what's needed:

| You Ask | What Happens |
|---------|--------------|
| "Look at this product, can I patent it?" | Researches product, searches prior art, assesses patentability |
| "Search for prior art on X" | Just searches for existing patents/publications |
| "Is my idea patentable?" | Gathers details, searches prior art, gives assessment |
| "Draft a patent for my invention" | Full patent application (does prior art search too) |
| "Write claims for this" | Just drafts patent claims |
| "What's the IP strategy here?" | Strategy advice (patent vs trade secret, timing, costs) |
| "How can I get around this patent?" | Analyzes claims, finds gaps, suggests design alternatives |

**You don't need to follow a rigid workflow.** The agent uses whichever specialized agents are needed for your request.

1. Searches Google Patents, USPTO, academic papers
2. Identifies closest existing patents
3. Reports relevance and key differences

**Uses agents:** Prior Art Searcher
