Prompt Library — Specialized Modes for Patent Prosecution Tasks
Use specialized AI prompt types optimized for patent prosecution — analyze obviousness rejections, anticipation rejections, patent eligibility, claim amendments, and office action response strategy.
Last updated: February 8, 2026
The Prompt Library gives you access to specialized conversation modes optimized for different patent prosecution tasks. Each prompt type configures the AI with domain-specific expertise for analyzing patent office actions, prior art rejections, and claim amendments.
Accessing the Prompt Library
The prompt type selector appears at the top of the Chat with Documents panel. Click it to see available patent prosecution prompt types.
You can also access saved prompts via the Prompt Library sidebar from the dashboard.
Available Prompt Types
General Chat
The default mode for open-ended questions about any aspect of your patent analysis. Use this when your question spans multiple rejection types or doesn't fit neatly into a single patent prosecution category.
§101 Follow-up (Patent Eligibility)
Optimized for patent subject matter eligibility discussions under 35 U.S.C. §101:
- Alice/Mayo two-step framework analysis
- Abstract idea identification and "significantly more" arguments
- Practical application and technical improvement arguments to establish patent eligibility
§102 Follow-up (Anticipation Rejection)
Optimized for anticipation rejection discussions under 35 U.S.C. §102:
- Element-by-element prior art comparison against patent claim limitations
- Missing element identification in the cited prior art reference
- Distinguishing feature analysis to overcome the anticipation rejection
§103 Follow-up (Obviousness Rejection)
Optimized for obviousness rejection discussions under 35 U.S.C. §103:
- Motivation to combine prior art references analysis
- Teaching away arguments against the examiner's combination
- Secondary considerations (unexpected results, long-felt need, commercial success)
- Hindsight reconstruction arguments to challenge the obviousness rejection
§112 Follow-up (Disclosure Requirements)
Optimized for patent disclosure requirement discussions under 35 U.S.C. §112:
- Written description support in the patent specification
- Enablement analysis
- Indefiniteness and antecedent basis issues in patent claims
Strategy
Focused on overall office action response strategy:
- Patent claim amendment vs. argument approach selection
- Claim scope impact analysis
- Multi-claim coordination for consistent prosecution
Claims
Focused on patent claim language and claim amendments:
- Patent claim scope and breadth analysis
- Claim amendment drafting assistance
- Dependent claim strategies
- New patent claim suggestions
How Prompt Types Work
When you select a prompt type, the system:
- Loads patent prosecution expertise — Each prompt type activates specialized "skills" that give the AI deep knowledge about that area of patent law and prosecution
- Adjusts context selection — Auto context selection prioritizes documents most relevant to the prompt type (e.g., §103 Follow-up prioritizes the obviousness analysis and cited prior art)
- Focuses the response — The AI tailors its answers to the specific patent prosecution context
Using Prompt Types Effectively
- Start with a specific type when you know what you want to discuss (e.g., use "§103 Follow-up" when asking about an obviousness rejection)
- Switch types during a conversation if the discussion shifts to a different patent prosecution topic
- Use General Chat when your question spans multiple rejection types or is exploratory
