ArcPrime Patent Prompts

Hi, I’m Jon. I’m the founder of ArcPrime. Before this, I was patent counsel at Meta and Fish & Richardson. I’ve spent my career doing patent work end to end: drafting claims from disclosures, reviewing applications, searching prior art, responding to office actions, building claim charts, filing continuations, and making portfolio decisions across thousands of patents.

These prompts are how I actually do patent work. Drafting claims from a messy disclosure, figuring out which continuations to file, mapping claims to a competitor’s product, deciding what to prune. These are real workflows I’ve run across real patents and real portfolios. They work for me.

They won’t replace your judgment. A prompt can give you a strong first draft of claims, a solid prior art analysis, a continuation strategy worth discussing. But you still need to review, refine, and make the final call. The work’s not done when the output lands. But a lot of it is, and you’re starting from a much better place than a blank page.

Two caveats:

1. Domain. These prompts come from my practice, which is mostly software and hardware. If you work in pharma, biotech, or other fields, you’ll want to adjust the claim drafting conventions and legal frameworks to match your domain.
2. Depth. These are the single-prompt versions, designed for easy use. In production at ArcPrime, these run as multi-stage pipelines with anti-hallucination checks, specification cross-referencing, and output validation. The multi-stage versions are where the last mile of accuracy comes from.

Fork them. Improve them. Make them yours.

Who this is for:

• Patent attorneys and agents who want to 100x their throughput on drafting, prosecution, and portfolio analysis
• In-house patent counsel making strategic decisions about large portfolios: pruning, continuations, categorization
• Patent professionals at any level who want to see what AI can actually do for patent work, with real prompts that produce real output
