Jurisdiction Format: Patent Filing Compilation

Compile the patent application into filing-ready format based on: $ARGUMENTS

Analogous to /paper-compile but for patent document formatting instead of LaTeX.

Constants

• JURISDICTION = "auto", From pipeline or args: CN, US, EP, ALL
• PATENT_TYPE = "invention", invention (发明专利) or utility_model (实用新型, CN only)
• OUTPUT_FORMAT = "markdown", markdown (for review) or docx (for filing, requires python-docx)
• OUTPUT_DIR = "patent/output/", Base output directory

Inputs

1. patent/CLAIMS.md, drafted claims
2. patent/specification/, all specification sections (title, technical_field, background, summary, drawings_description, detailed_description, abstract)
3. patent/figures/, figure descriptions and numeral index
4. patent/INVENTION_DISCLOSURE.md, for metadata

Shared References

Load ../shared-references/patent-format-cn.md for CNIPA document structure and formatting rules. Load ../shared-references/patent-format-us.md for USPTO document structure. Load ../shared-references/patent-format-ep.md for EPO document structure.

Workflow

Step 1: Determine Output Jurisdictions

From $ARGUMENTS or constant:

• CN -> Generate CNIPA format only
• US -> Generate USPTO format only
• EP -> Generate EPO format only
• ALL -> Generate all three formats

Step 2: Generate CN Format (if CN or ALL)

Output to patent/output/CN/:

权利要求书 (Claims)

• Extract claims from patent/CLAIMS.md
• Format per CNIPA conventions:
  • Independent claims: "1. 一种[主题]的方法，...其特征在于..."
  • Dependent claims: "2. 根据权利要求1所述的方法，其特征在于..."
• Ensure Chinese terminology is correct (所述, 其特征在于, 包括, 等)
