Ruiguan Utility Patent Detection

Ruiguan Utility Patent 检测

This skill guides you on how to search for similar utility (invention) patents based on a product's title, description, and target selling region. It helps cross-border e-commerce sellers identify potential patent infringement risks before listing products.
本技能将指导您如何根据产品标题、描述及目标销售地区，搜索相似的utility（发明）专利。它能帮助跨境电商卖家在上架产品前识别潜在的专利侵权风险。

Core Concepts

核心概念

Utility patent (also called invention patent) protects new and useful inventions or functional improvements. Unlike design patents that protect appearance, utility patents protect how a product works, its structure, or its composition. Infringing on a utility patent can lead to product removal, lawsuits, or TRO orders.
Similarity score: Each returned patent includes a 
similarity
field (0 to 1). A higher value means the patent is more closely related to the queried product. Patents with high similarity scores deserve careful review.
TRO risk indicators: Two boolean fields flag enforcement history:
  • troCase
    -- whether the patent has a history of TRO enforcement actions
  • troHolder
    -- whether the patent holder is known for initiating TRO cases
Patents flagged with either indicator require extra caution.
Patent validity: The 
patentValidity
field shows whether a patent is 
Active
or 
Invalid
. Only active patents pose infringement risk.
Utility patent（又称发明专利）保护新的、实用的发明或功能性改进。与保护外观的设计专利不同，utility patent保护产品的工作原理、结构或组成。侵犯utility patent可能导致产品下架、诉讼或TRO（临时限制令）。
相似度得分：返回的每个专利都包含一个
similarity
字段（取值0到1）。数值越高，说明该专利与查询产品的关联度越高。相似度得分高的专利需要仔细审核。
TRO风险指标：两个布尔字段标记专利的执行历史：
  • troCase
    -- 该专利是否有过TRO执行记录
  • troHolder
    -- 专利持有人是否以发起TRO案件著称
带有任一标记的专利需要格外谨慎。
专利有效性：
patentValidity
字段显示专利处于
Active
（有效）还是
Invalid
（无效）状态。只有有效专利会构成侵权风险。

Parameter Guidelines

参数指南

  1. productTitle: Use the product's actual listing title or a concise descriptive title. Be specific rather than generic -- "portable USB-C fast charger 65W" is better than "charger".
  2. productDescription: Include key features, materials, mechanisms, and technical attributes. The more detail provided, the more accurate the similarity matching.
  3. region: Currently only 
    US
    is supported. Always set to 
    US
    unless the user specifies otherwise.
  4. topNumber: Default is 100. Increase to 200 for a broader search when doing thorough patent clearance. Decrease to 10--20 for a quick preliminary scan.
  1. productTitle：使用产品的实际上架标题或简洁的描述性标题。尽量具体而非笼统——“便携式USB-C 65W快充充电器”比“充电器”更好。
  2. productDescription：包含关键功能、材质、机制和技术属性。提供的细节越多，相似度匹配就越准确。
  3. region：目前仅支持
    US
    。除非用户另有指定，否则请始终设为
    US
    。
  4. topNumber：默认值为100。进行全面专利排查时，可增加至200以扩大搜索范围。快速初步扫描时，可减少至10--20。

API Usage

references/api.md
。您也可以直接执行
scripts/ruiguan_utility_patent_detection.py
来运行查询。

Usage Examples

使用示例

1. Basic patent risk check for a product
User: "Check if this silicone kitchen spatula has any patent risks in the US."
Build the request with a descriptive product title and description, region set to US, and a reasonable topNumber.
2. Thorough patent clearance before launch
User: "I'm about to launch a new wireless earbuds product. Do a comprehensive patent check."
Use topNumber=200 for maximum coverage. Include detailed product description covering Bluetooth version, charging case design, noise cancellation features, etc.
3. Quick scan for TRO risk
User: "Any TRO risks for selling LED strip lights in the US?"
After retrieving results, filter and highlight patents where 
troCase
or 
troHolder
is true.
4. Investigating a specific product category
User: "Check patent risks for a portable blender with USB charging."
Provide both the product title and a detailed description emphasizing the functional aspects (motor type, blade design, charging mechanism, capacity).
1. 产品基础专利风险检查
用户：“检查这款硅胶厨房刮刀在美国是否存在专利风险。”
构建请求时，使用描述性的产品标题和描述，地区设为US，并设置合理的topNumber值。
2. 产品上线前的全面专利排查
用户：“我即将推出一款新的无线耳机产品，请进行全面的专利检查。”
设置topNumber=200以获得最大覆盖范围。包含详细的产品描述，涵盖蓝牙版本、充电盒设计、降噪功能等。
3. 快速扫描TRO风险
用户：“在美国销售LED灯带是否存在TRO风险？”
获取结果后，筛选并突出显示
troCase
或
troHolder
为true的专利。
4. 调查特定产品类别
用户：“检查带USB充电功能的便携式搅拌机的专利风险。”
同时提供产品标题和详细描述，重点强调功能方面（电机类型、刀片设计、充电机制、容量）。

Display Rules

展示规则

  1. Present data in tables: Show results in a clear, structured table format. Key columns to display: patent title, similarity score, patent validity, application number, publication date, TRO flags, and estimated expiration date.
  2. Sort by relevance: Display patents sorted by similarity score in descending order (highest similarity first).
  3. Highlight high-risk patents: Call attention to patents with similarity above 0.7, active validity status, and/or TRO flags.
  4. TRO warnings: If any returned patents have 
    troCase=true
    or 
    troHolder=true
    , display a prominent warning about elevated enforcement risk.
  5. Validity filtering: When presenting results, clearly distinguish between Active and Invalid patents. Emphasize that only Active patents require attention.
  6. Volume notice: When results are large, show the most relevant patents (e.g., top 10--20 by similarity) and summarize the rest.
  7. Error handling: When a query fails, explain the reason and suggest adjusting the product title or description for better results.
  8. Bilingual titles: When available, show both the English title (
    title
    ) and Chinese title (
    titleCn
    ) to aid understanding.
  9. No legal advice: Present patent data factually. Do not provide legal conclusions about infringement -- recommend consulting a patent attorney for definitive assessments.
  1. 以表格形式呈现数据：用清晰、结构化的表格展示结果。需显示的关键列：专利标题、相似度得分、专利有效性、申请号、公开日期、TRO标记、预计到期日期。
  2. 按相关性排序：按相似度得分降序排列专利（相似度最高的排在最前面）。
  3. 高亮高风险专利：突出显示相似度超过0.7、状态为有效且/或带有TRO标记的专利。
  4. TRO警告：如果返回的专利中有
    troCase=true
    或
    troHolder=true
    ，需显示醒目的警告，提示执行风险升高。
  5. 有效性过滤：展示结果时，明确区分有效（Active）和无效（Invalid）专利。强调只有有效专利需要关注。
  6. 结果数量提示：当结果数量较多时，显示最相关的专利（例如，按相似度排序的前10--20个），并总结其余结果。
  7. 错误处理：查询失败时，说明原因并建议调整产品标题或描述以获得更好的结果。
  8. 双语标题：如果有可用的英文标题（
    title
    ）和中文标题（
    titleCn
    ），同时显示以帮助理解。
  9. 不提供法律建议：如实呈现专利数据。不要提供关于侵权的法律结论——建议咨询专利律师以获得权威评估。
