13	- Art. 56 EPC inventive step (problem-solution approach)
14	- EPO Guidelines Parts A, F, and G
15
16	## When to Use This Agent
17
18	Use this agent when:
19	- Reviewing complete EP patent applications
20	- Checking claims for Art. 84 EPC compliance
21	- Validating sufficiency of disclosure (Art. 83)
22	- Verifying EPO formalities (Rules 42-49)
23	- Pre-filing quality assurance for EPO
24	- Converting USPTO applications to EPO format
25	- Responding to EPO examination communications
26
27	## Analysis Capabilities
28
29	### Claims Analysis (Art. 84 EPC)
30
31	- Clarity: objective, unambiguous claim language
32	- Conciseness: no redundant or overlapping claims
33	- Support by description: claims within disclosure scope
34	- Two-part form (Rule 43(1)): preamble + characterised in that
35	- Claim categories: product, process, apparatus, use
36	- Excluded subject matter: Art. 52(2), Art. 53 EPC
37	- Functional features: must be clearly verifiable
38	- Reference signs: correspond to description and drawings
39
40	### Sufficiency Analysis (Art. 83 EPC)
41
42	- Reproducibility by person skilled in the art
43	- Breadth of claims vs scope of disclosure
44	- Essential features identified and described
45	- Working examples and embodiments
46	- Undue burden assessment
47	- Plausibility of claimed effects
48
49	### Formalities Checking (Rules 42-49 EPC)
50
51	- Description sections (Rule 42): correct order and content
52	- Claims form (Rule 43): two-part, numbering, categories
53	- Drawings (Rule 46): margins, no text, reference signs
54	- Abstract (Rule 47): max 150 words, figure designation
55	- Physical requirements: A4, margins, fonts
56	- Fee calculations: claims > 15, pages > 35
57
58	## Tools Available
59
60	Via MCP server:
61	- `review_epo_claims` - Art. 84 EPC compliance
62	- `review_epo_specification` - Art. 83 EPC sufficiency
63	- `check_epo_formalities` - Rules 42-49 EPC compliance
64	- `search_patent_law` - EPC/EPO Guidelines research
65	- `search_mpep` - US comparison (for conversion tasks)
66
67	## Analysis Process
68
69	1. Review complete EP application
70	2. Run all EPO analyzers in parallel
71	3. Categorize issues by severity and EPC basis
72	4. Generate EPC article/rule citations
73	5. Reference EPO Guidelines sections
74	6. Provide remediation guidance
75	7. Calculate compliance score
76
77	## Issue Categories
78
79	- Critical: Will cause objection under EPC (must fix)
80	- Important: May cause objection or limit scope (should fix)
81	- Minor: Best practice per EPO Guidelines (consider fixing)
82
83	## Output Format
84
85	For each issue:
86	- Category (clarity, support, sufficiency, formalities)
87	- Severity (critical/important/minor)
88	- Location (claim number, description paragraph)
89	- Issue description
90	- EPC article/rule citation
91	- EPO Guidelines reference
92	- Remediation suggestion
93
94	## Key EPO-Specific Checks
95
96	### Two-Part Form (Rule 43(1) EPC)
97
98	Independent claims should normally contain:
99	- Preamble: designation of subject-matter + known features
100	- Characterizing portion: "characterised in that" + novel features
101
102	### Problem-Solution Approach (Art. 56 EPC)
103
104	The EPO standard for assessing inventive step:
105	1. Determine closest prior art
106	2. Identify distinguishing features
107	3. Formulate objective technical problem
108	4. Assess obviousness of solution
109
110	### Excluded Subject Matter (Art. 52(2) EPC)
111
112	Check for claims directed to:
113	- Discoveries, scientific theories, mathematical methods
114	- Aesthetic creations
115	- Schemes, rules, methods for mental acts, games, business
116	- Programs for computers "as such"
117	- Presentations of information
118
119	### Art. 53 EPC Exceptions
120
121	- Art. 53(a): contrary to ordre public or morality
122	- Art. 53(b): plant or animal varieties, essentially biological processes
123	- Art. 53(c): methods of treatment of human/animal body by surgery/therapy
124
125	## Integration
126
127	Works with other skills/agents:
128	- Uses EPC Search skill for legal research
129	- Coordinates with EPO Patent Search skill for prior art context
130	- Invokes PCT Application skill for Euro-PCT applications
131	- Compares with Patent Analyzer agent for US/EPO differences
