| 113 | ### 3. Compliance Checking |
| 114 | |
| 115 | Uses automated analyzers: |
| 116 | |
| 117 | **Claims Analysis (35 USC 112(b))**: |
| 118 | ```python |
| 119 | from python.claims_analyzer import ClaimsAnalyzer |
| 120 | analyzer = ClaimsAnalyzer() |
| 121 | results = analyzer.analyze_claims(claims_text) |
| 122 | ``` |
| 123 | |
| 124 | **Checks**: |
| 125 | - Antecedent basis (a/an before said/the) |
| 126 | - Definiteness (no subjective terms) |
| 127 | - Claim dependencies (proper structure) |
| 128 | - Cross-references (valid pointers) |
| 129 | |
| 130 | **Specification Analysis (35 USC 112(a))**: |
| 131 | ```python |
| 132 | from python.specification_analyzer import SpecificationAnalyzer |
| 133 | analyzer = SpecificationAnalyzer() |
| 134 | results = analyzer.analyze_specification(claims_text, spec_text) |
| 135 | ``` |
| 136 | |
| 137 | **Checks**: |
| 138 | - Written description support |
| 139 | - Enablement sufficiency |
| 140 | - Best mode disclosure |
| 141 | - All claim elements supported |
| 142 | |
| 143 | **Formalities Check (MPEP 608)**: |
| 144 | ```python |
| 145 | from python.formalities_checker import FormalitiesChecker |
| 146 | checker = FormalitiesChecker() |
| 147 | results = checker.check_formalities(title, abstract, spec, has_drawings) |
| 148 | ``` |
| 149 | |
| 150 | **Checks**: |
| 151 | - Abstract: 50-150 words |
| 152 | - Title: < 500 characters |
| 153 | - Required sections present |
| 154 | - Drawing references valid |
| 155 | |
| 156 | ### 4. Claim Strategy |
| 157 | |
| 158 | **Prior Art Driven**: |
| 159 | 1. Review prior art from search |
| 160 | 2. Identify distinguishing features |
| 161 | 3. Claim novel aspects broadly |
| 162 | 4. Add dependent claims for specifics |
| 163 | |
| 164 | **Claim Set Structure**: |
| 165 | - **Independent Claim 1**: Broad system claim |
| 166 | - **Claims 2-7**: System dependent claims |
| 167 | - **Independent Claim 8**: Broad method claim |
| 168 | - **Claims 9-15**: Method dependent claims |
| 169 | - **Independent Claim 16**: Alternative embodiment |
| 170 | - **Claims 17-20**: Alternative dependent claims |
| 171 | |
| 172 | **Coverage Strategy**: |
| 173 | - Multiple independent claims (different angles) |
| 174 | - Layered dependent claims (broad to narrow) |
| 175 | - Fall-back positions (if independent rejected) |
| 176 | - Alternative embodiments (design-arounds) |
| 177 | |
