Prepare a patent search brief from the inventor's disclosure
Key facts
- Human involvement
- YellowClose supervision
- How AI is used
- Index the disclosure by product, how it is made, how it is used, and the features the inventor says are new. Quote the page. State no conclusion that the invention is patentable.
- What the lawyer must review
- 35 U.S.C. § 102 states the novelty conditions. You read the subsection that fits each reference before you treat the reference as prior art. Section 112(a) is the written-description, enablement and best-mode requirement for a specification, and § 112(b) requires claims that particularly point out and distinctly claim the subject matter. The search brief organises the disclosure so you can search. It does not say the invention meets § 102 or § 112. Opinion 512 keeps that judgment with you.
