What it does
The `paper2patent` skill goes from paper to a document package: it reads the work, assesses disclosure and novelty, plans the claims, writes the five application parts, draws figures and checks the text. Output is Word and PDF with five parts, a separate explanation document for the applicant and patent attorney, and figures in SVG and PNG. Technical content comes only from the paper and gaps are marked `【待补充】`. The `check_patent_draft.py` script looks for banned words, broken claim references and figure number mismatches. Besides the skill, the repository holds Flash and Pro prompts for chat.
Who it is for. Researchers and labs in China turning paper results into patent applications and handing the draft to a patent attorney.
Good fit when
- A paper is ready and a first invention application draft is needed.
- Before filing you need to know whether the published paper hurts novelty.
- Claims and specification should be checked against the paper for invention.
- The application needs black-and-white flowchart drawings.
Not a fit when
- The application falls under another country's law.
- A finished document is filed without attorney review.
- The paper has no technical solution, only a survey.
Example request
Use paper2patent: take this paper, assess disclosure and generate an invention application in Word and PDF with drawings.Limitations
The skill is written for Chinese law: the Patent Law, its Implementing Rules and the Examination Guidelines. It works as a draft base, not legal advice. Figures need Pillow and a Chinese font, PDF needs LibreOffice, scripts need Python 3.9 or newer. The repository has no versions, so updating means `git pull` and copying again. The skill checks disclosure and novelty but does not guarantee patentability, which an attorney assesses.
How to disable. Delete the `paper2patent` folder from the agent skills directory, for example `~/.codex/skills/` or `~/.claude/skills/`.
FAQ
Which agents are supported?
The author tested in Codex and also lists Claude, Claude Code, Cursor and Windsurf.
Can it be used without an agent?
Yes. The Flash and Pro prompts work in a plain LLM chat and give the five text parts.
What about an already published paper?
The skill checks disclosure and novelty. If the paper is already on arXiv it shows how this threatens novelty, and the decision stays with the applicant and attorney.
Does the skill invent details?
By design no: missing information gets a `【待补充】` mark and goes onto the list of missing materials.
What does the self-check script verify?
Banned words, a single full stop per claim, references between claims, abstract length and consistency of figure numbers.
