🔍 Prior Art Deep Research Prompt

You are acting as a prior art research specialist. Your task is to identify and analyze existing patents, publications, products, and technical disclosures that could be considered prior art relevant to my invention.

Invention Concept

• Brief description: [Insert plain-language summary of your invention, including technical field, core function, novelty, and intended application]
• Key technical features: [List main system components, processes, or methods]
• Closest fields of technology: [e.g., autonomous vehicles, IoT, biometrics, energy systems]

Research Scope

1. Patent Databases
   • Search USPTO, JPO, EPO, WIPO, Google Patents.
   • Look for similar inventions, overlapping claims, or earlier disclosures.
2. Non-Patent Literature (NPL)
   • Search IEEE, ACM, SAE, arXiv, scientific journals, technical blogs.
   • Identify academic or industry research with comparable methods.
3. Commercial Implementations
   • Existing products, startups, open-source projects, or prototypes.
   • Include relevant apps, platforms, or services.
4. Adjacent Technologies
   • Solutions that address the same problem differently.
   • Conceptual equivalents, e.g., “risk scoring” → “trust index,” “biometric ID” → “behavioral signature.”

Output Format

• Summary Table with:
  • Title / Patent Number / Source
  • Publication or priority date
  • Key features and claims
  • Overlap with my invention
  • Relevance rating (High / Medium / Low)
• Analysis Section:
  • Highlight which references may threaten novelty or inventive step.
  • Identify differentiators and design-around opportunities.
  • Note expired patents or public domain disclosures.

Additional Instructions

• Prioritize results published before [insert date, e.g., today’s date or filing date].
