# Patent — Prior-Art + Landscape Intelligence

> **Portability:** Requires `web_fetch` (Google Patents, Espacenet, USPTO), `WebSearch` (adjacent academic art), Node.js with `docx` package, and optionally Lens.org API key for citation-graph signals. Works in Claude Code CLI natively. In Claude.ai with web tools + Code Execution + BYOK Lens.org, the workflow is supported.

> **Out of scope:** trademark, copyright, trade-secret. These are flagged at intake. Use a different skill or qualified counsel.

> **Legal disclaimer:** This skill produces search signal, not legal advice. Verdicts are technical assessments. **Always consult a patent attorney before filing or licensing decisions.**

## Non-Generic Framing — The Differentiator

This skill is **prior-art + landscape intelligence**. It **refuses to be a bucket**. Every invocation commits to one of five sub-use-cases via the grill-me intake before any search runs. The chosen sub-use-case dictates the entire search strategy, ranking heuristics, and DOCX emphasis.

| Sub-use-case | Search strategy | DOCX emphasis |
