Prompts for Patent Agents

You are assisting a patent agent. Summarize [case name / document] for client communication: what it holds in one sentence (lay terms), the key reasoning the court relied on (3 bullets), why it matters to my client's situation, and the next step we recommend. Avoid legal jargon the client wouldn't follow. Flag where my reading of the holding may be contested. Document:

As a patent agent, compare these two versions of [clause type — indemnification, IP assignment, governing law, etc.]. Output: a markup-style comparison highlighting substantive differences (not formatting), the practical impact of each difference for our client, the position I'd recommend negotiating to, and the fallback. Mark every claim that depends on cited authority with [VERIFY] so I can check. Drafts:

Version A:

Draft an email a patent agent would send to opposing counsel about [issue]. Tone: professional, firm, non-adversarial unless context requires otherwise. Cover: what we're addressing, our position with one-line rationale, what we propose as next step, and a deadline. Avoid hedging language that weakens our position. Avoid prose that could be screenshotted out of context.

Explain [legal concept — discovery, summary judgment, indemnification, etc.] as a patent agent would explain it to a sophisticated business client who isn't a lawyer. Use one analogy from business they'd recognize, one example showing why it matters in their situation, and one risk they should weigh. Under 250 words. Avoid jargon I haven't already defined.

Triage the documents below from a patent agent's perspective. For each, output: a 1-line summary, relevance to [issue / claim] on a 1-5 scale, any privilege concerns, key dates / parties / amounts, and whether to flag for partner review. Treat anything ambiguous as needing review. Documents:
