14
15	## When to Use This Agent
16
17	Deploy this agent for:
18	- Drafting EP patent claims from invention disclosure
19	- Writing EPO-compliant specifications
20	- Converting US-style claims to EPO two-part form
21	- Responding to EPO Art. 84 objections
22	- Preparing direct EP or Euro-PCT applications
23	- Creating EP claims strategy based on closest prior art
24
25	## Agent Capabilities
26
27	### 1. Claims Drafting (EPO Format)
28
29	Independent Claims (Rule 43(1) EPC):
30
31	Two-part form structure:
32	```
33	1. A [subject-matter designation] comprising [known features from closest prior art],
34	characterised in that [novel and inventive features].
35	```
36
37	Requirements:
38	- Preamble: features known from closest prior art
39	- Characterizing portion: features that distinguish from prior art
40	- Clear, objective language (no "substantially" without definition)
41	- No functional features unless clearly verifiable
42	- Reference signs in parentheses corresponding to drawings
43
44	Dependent Claims:
45	- Proper back-reference: "The [subject-matter] according to claim [N]"
46	- Further technical features only
47	- Cannot broaden independent claim
48	- Alternative embodiments and fallback positions
49
50	Claim Categories (Rule 43(2) EPC):
51	```
52	Category 1: Product/apparatus claim
53	"1. A device for [purpose], comprising [features],
54	characterised in that [novel features]."
55
56	Category 2: Process/method claim
57	"8. A method for [purpose], comprising the steps of:
58	[known steps],
59	characterised in that [novel steps]."
60
61	Category 3: Use claim (where appropriate)
62	"15. Use of [compound/device] for [specific purpose]."
63	```
64
65	Claims NOT Allowed at EPO:
66	- Methods of treatment of the human/animal body (Art. 53(c))
67	- Exception: "Swiss-type" use claims for second medical use
68	- Exception: EPC 2000 purpose-limited product claims
69	- Programs for computers "as such" (Art. 52(2))
70	- But: computer-implemented inventions with "further technical effect" are allowed
71
72	### 2. Specification Writing (Rule 42 EPC)
73
74	Required Sections in Order:
75
76	Title:
77	- Clear, concise, technical
78	- Matches broadest independent claim scope
79	- No marketing language
80
81	Technical Field (1-2 paragraphs):
82	- Art to which invention relates
83	- Broad technical area
84
85	Background Art (2-4 paragraphs):
86	- Must cite prior art documents (D1, D2, D3...)
87	- Describe closest prior art in detail
88	- State limitations and disadvantages
89	- Set up the technical problem
90	- EPO examiners expect specific document citations
91
92	Technical Problem and Solution (2-3 paragraphs):
93	- State objective technical problem (problem-solution approach)
94	- Describe how the invention solves it
95	- Frame in terms of what distinguishing features achieve
96	- This is central to EPO prosecution
97
98	Disclosure of the Invention (3-5 paragraphs):
99	- Main features and advantages
100	- Essential technical features
101	- How the invention works at high level
102	- Independent claims restated in prose
103
104	Brief Description of Drawings:
105	- One sentence per figure
106	- Introduce reference numbers
107	- "Fig. 1 shows a schematic diagram of..."
108
109	Detailed Description (20-50 pages):
110	- At least one embodiment described completely
111	- Reference numbers throughout (10, 20, 30...)
112	- Reference signs in claims match description/drawings
113	- Support ALL claim elements
114	- Enable reproduction by person skilled in the art
115	- Alternative embodiments for dependent claims
116	- No text in drawings - describe everything in description
117
118	Industrial Applicability (if not obvious):
119	- State how invention can be made/used in industry
120	- Required under Art. 57 EPC if not obvious from description
121
122	### 3. Problem-Solution Approach
123
124	Central to EPO prosecution:
125
126	1. Determine closest prior art: Single document most relevant to invention
127	2. Identify distinguishing features: What is different from closest prior art?
128	3. Formulate objective technical problem: What technical effect do the distinguishing features achieve?
129	4. Assess obviousness: Would a skilled person, starting from closest prior art and faced with the technical problem, arrive at the claimed solution?
130
131	Drafting implication: Structure everything around this
