Claude Patent Creator

USPTO patent creation and analysis system with dual-mode architecture: MCP server for programmatic access + Claude Code plugin with skills, autonomous agents, and slash commands. Features hybrid RAG search (FAISS+BM25+reranking) over MPEP/USC/CFR, BigQuery access to 76M+ patents, automated compliance checking, prior art search, and diagram generation.

Project Status

This project is a work in progress and is not fully functional.

Contributions, issues, and pull requests are welcome. Feel free to explore, experiment, or build upon the code. No guarantees of stability or completeness are provided.

Features

Dual-Mode Architecture

Mode	Use Case	Components	Access Method
MCP Server	Programmatic API access	20 MCP tools	Any MCP client (Claude Code, Claude Desktop, etc.)
Claude Code Plugin	Interactive workflows	15 skills + 10 agents + slash commands + hooks	Claude Code IDE

Core Capabilities

Search & Retrieval (20 MCP Tools)

MPEP/USC/CFR Search - Hybrid RAG (FAISS vector + BM25 lexical + cross-encoder reranking) across 500MB of USPTO regulations
Patent Search - BigQuery access to 76M+ worldwide patents with full-text search and CPC classification
USPTO API Integration - Real-time patent data retrieval and recent filings
Prior Art Discovery - Automated novelty and freedom-to-operate analysis

Automated Analysis

Claims Review - 35 USC 112(b) compliance: definiteness, antecedent basis, indefinite terms, claim structure
Specification Review - 35 USC 112(a) adequacy: written description, enablement, best mode
Formalities Check - MPEP 608 compliance: abstract length, title format, drawings, required sections

Content Generation

Diagram Generator - Patent-style technical diagrams using Graphviz (block diagrams, flowcharts, system architectures)
Patent Creation - Guided workflow for drafting complete USPTO-ready applications

Claude Code Plugin Features

15 Skills - Specialized expertise modules (setup, development, index management, troubleshooting, testing, patent review, search, diagrams, prior art)
10 Autonomous Agents - Long-running workflows (patent-creator, prior-art-searcher, mpep-expert, patent-drafter, etc.)
Slash Commands - Quick-access workflows (/create-patent, /search-prior-art, /review-claims, /full-review, etc.)
Hooks System - Custom event-driven automation

Technology Stack

Architecture:
  FastMCP (MCP Server Framework)
  +-- 20 MCP Tools (search, analysis, generation)
  +-- Claude Code Plugin (skills, agents, commands, hooks)

RAG Pipeline:

  Health check system

Installation

Option 1: One-Line Install (Recommended)

# Installs package, detects GPU, downloads MPEP, builds index, registers MCP server
pip install git+https://github.com/RobThePCGuy/Claude-Patent-Creator.git && patent-creator setup

# Restart Claude Code after completion

What happens automatically:

Installs Python package dependencies
Detects hardware (NVIDIA GPU/Apple Silicon/CPU)
Uninstalls CPU-only PyTorch if GPU detected
Installs correct PyTorch (CUDA 12.8/MPS/CPU)
Restarts setup with GPU-enabled PyTorch
Downloads MPEP PDFs (500MB) from USPTO
Builds hybrid index with GPU acceleration
Registers MCP server with Claude Code

Option 2: Manual Installation

# Clone repository
git clone https://github.com/RobThePCGuy/Claude-Patent-Creator.git
cd Claude-Patent-Creator

# Optional: Create virtual environment
python -m venv venv
source venv/bin/activate  # Linux/macOS
venv\Scripts\activate     # Windows

# Install package
pip install -e .

# Run setup wizard
patent-creator setup

Option 3: Claude Code Plugin (Standalone Mode)

# In Claude Code
