Step 2.1: Conditional API Search

Check for availability of SERPAPI_KEY and EXA_API_KEY:

• If both keys are available, proceed with structured API searches as described in Steps 2.2-2.4

• If keys are missing, inform the user briefly and automatically proceed with WebSearch as a fallback

Step 2.2: API Patent Search (Conditional)

Execute only if API keys are available:

Method A: SerpAPI Google Patents (Keyword-based)

# Example: Search for AR gesture recognition patents

curl -s "https://serpapi.com/search.json?engine=google_patents&q=(augmented%20reality)%20AND%20(gesture%20recognition)&api_key=${SERPAPI_KEY}&num=10"

Method B: Exa.ai (Semantic)

# Example: Semantic search for similar inventions

curl -X POST 'https://api.exa.ai/search' \

  -H "x-api-key: ${EXA_API_KEY}" \

  -H 'Content-Type: application/json' \

  -d '{ "query": "augmented reality gesture recognition hand tracking", "type": "neural", "numResults": 10, "includeDomains": ["patents.google.com"] }'

Extract from API results:

• Patent IDs and titles

• Publication dates

• Key claims and technical solutions

• Assignees and filing dates

Step 2.3: WebSearch Fallback (Used when APIs unavailable)

When API keys are not available, automatically use Claude's WebSearch tool:

• Use the WebSearch tool to find relevant patent and technical information

• Query format: "[user's invention description] prior art patent search comparative analysis"

• Example: WebSearch("[specific technical concept] prior art patent 2025")

Step 2.4: Parallel Web Search

Perform web searches to gather comprehensive context regardless of API availability:

• Specific patents: Search for detailed patent information by technical concept

• Technical implementations: Search for how the solution works in practice

• Industry standards: Search for relevant technical standards and specifications

• Academic research: Search for latest research papers on related technologies

• Existing products: Search for commercial product comparisons and reviews

Search query patterns (customize based on invention):

• "[user's specific technical concept] vs [similar concept] patent"

• "[user's solution approach] implementation challenges and approaches"

• "[domain] technical standards and requirements 2025"

• "recent research [user's technical concept] academic papers"

• "[user's solution category] commercial implementation comparison"

Step 2.5: Novelty Analysis

Synthesize findings from both API and web search results:

• Comparison: Compare the user's idea with the top 3-5 most relevant patents

• Prior Art Identification: Identify the closest prior art (最接近的现有技术)

• Distinguishing Features: Determine distinguishing features (区别技术特征)

• Novelty Gaps: Note any potential novelty gaps or white spaces

• Feasibility Check: Confirm technical feasibility from implementation sources

Output: Comprehensive prior art analysis with novelty assessment.

Phase 3: Generate Application Form

Goal: Draft the complete patent application document.

Actions:

• Structure Setup: Follow the exact format specified in template.md

• Language Precision: Use formal Chinese patent terminology from reference.md

• Embodiments Creation: Design at least 3 distinct embodiments (具体实施方式):

• Vary data flow (push/pull, sync/async)

• Vary trigger conditions (time-based, event-based, threshold-based)

• Vary architecture (monolithic, distributed, edge-cloud)

• Novelty Articulation: Clearly state creative points (创新点) vs. existing solutions

• Completeness Check: Ensure all required sections are present

Output: Complete Chinese patent application form ready for filing.

Quality Principles

Critical Requirements:

• Grantability: Focus on technical solutions, not abstract ideas

• Precision: Avoid vague marketing terms; use precise technical descriptions from reference.md

• Honesty: Explicitly list potential defects and alternatives in the "Others" section

• Completeness: All required sections must be present and substantive

Language Conventions:

• Use formal Chinese patent terminology as defined in reference.md

• Avoid using product names, UI terms, brand names, and colloquial expressions

• Apply standard patent phrases such as "一种..." (A kind of...), "用于..." (for...), "其特征在于" (characterized in that...)
