Description
Conduct FTO patent searches and infringement risk analyses by querying granted and pending patents based on technical descriptions and images.
Usage Guidance
This is an instruction-only FTO research skill that primarily uses Google Patents (public) and optionally Patsnap (commercial). Before installing or using it: (1) be prepared to provide the technical description and any images you want analyzed; (2) if you want Patsnap searches, expect to supply your Patsnap account or to authorize access — the skill does not declare stored credentials; (3) do not submit confidential designs or secrets unless you trust the environment and understand where queries/searches are performed; (4) the output is for reference only and not legal advice — consult a patent attorney for binding opinions; (5) review terms of service for any external patent database you choose to use.
Capability Analysis
Type: OpenClaw Skill
Name: patent-fto
Version: 1.0.0
The skill bundle is a legitimate and highly structured tool for performing Freedom-to-Operate (FTO) patent infringement analysis. It guides the AI agent through a 9-step professional workflow, including technical feature extraction, multi-dimensional search strategies on Google Patents and Patsnap, and document generation using the 'docx' skill. There is no evidence of malicious intent, data exfiltration, or harmful prompt injection; the instructions are consistent with the stated purpose and include appropriate legal disclaimers.
Capability Assessment
Purpose & Capability
Name/description match the SKILL.md: it explains step-by-step how to perform FTO searches using Google Patents and Patsnap and how to decompose technical features. Minor note: Patsnap is listed as a supported platform (account required) but the skill declares no credential input, which is a small inconsistency (the skill will need the user to provide login/access at runtime or rely on the agent's capabilities).
Instruction Scope
Instructions stay within the patent search and analysis domain: they ask for technical descriptions and optional images, decompose features, build search queries, and iterate searches on patent databases. There are no instructions to read unrelated local files or environment variables, nor to exfiltrate system data. It does assume use of the agent's image-analysis capability and external patent sites.
Install Mechanism
No install spec and no code files (instruction-only). This is low-risk: nothing is written to disk or installed by the skill itself.
Credentials
The skill declares no required environment variables or secrets, which is reasonable. However, it references a commercial database (Patsnap) that requires an account; the SKILL.md does not specify how credentials will be supplied (prompted interactively vs. env vars). Expect the skill to ask the user for login/access at runtime if Patsnap is chosen.
Persistence & Privilege
The skill is not marked 'always' and is user-invocable; it does not request elevated persistence or to modify other skills or system-wide settings.
How to Use
- Make sure OpenClaw is installed (local or Docker)
- Run the install command in chat:
/install patent-fto - After installation, invoke the skill by name or use
/patent-fto - Provide required inputs per the skill's parameter spec and get structured output
