PATENT

PATENT

PATENT governs intellectual property. Every filing evidenced. Every disclosure tracked.

Purpose

PATENT discovers inventions by governing. You don’t write patents — you govern, and patents fall out.

Here’s the trick: every time you write a CANON.md, every time you define a VOCAB term, every time you commit a governance artifact — that’s a timestamped, hash-committed claim. The governance system IS the invention disclosure system. They’re the same thing.

MAGIC scans every git commit across every repo. When it detects a boundary signal — a NEW_CONSTRAINT, a NEW_DIMENSION, a NEW_COMPOSITION — it generates an IDF (Invention Disclosure Form). The IDF maps the commit to MAGIC dimensions, extracts the claim, and links the evidence chain.

The numbers tell the story:

What Count
IDFs discovered from commit signals 80+
Provisionals drafted 6
Total claims across portfolio 90
Independent claims 20
Prior art searches 252
Cost per provisional filing $320 (micro-entity)
Cost savings vs traditional prosecution 99.5% ($1.8M avoided)

That’s the pipeline. Govern → Discover → Disclose → File → Prosecute. All governed. All ledgered. All automatic.

Discovery Pipeline

GOVERN
  │  Write governance artifacts (.md files)
  │  Every commit = timestamped hash = priority claim
  │
  ▼
DISCOVER
  │  MAGIC scans git commits across all repos
  │  Signals: NEW_CONSTRAINT, NEW_DIMENSION, NEW_COMPOSITION
  │  Each signal = potential IDF
  │
  ▼
DISCLOSE
  │  IDF generated per signal
  │  Maps commit → MAGIC dimensions → claim → evidence chain
  │  Priority date = commit timestamp
  │
  ▼
MAP
  │  IDFs clustered into provisionals by domain
  │  PROV-001 = MAGIC compliance governance language
  │  PROV-002 = COIN=WORK attestation
  │  PROV-003 = Governed federated learning
  │  PROV-004 = Governance-preserving transcompiler
  │  PROV-005 = Healthcare credentials governance
  │  PROV-006 = MAGIC compliance-governed robotic action
  │
  ▼
SEARCH
  │  252 prior art queries across USPTO, EPO, JPO, non-patent lit
  │  Claims differentiated against prior art
  │  Cross-portfolio checked for double-patenting
  │
  ▼
FILE
  │  Provisionals filed ($320/each, micro-entity)
  │  12-month clock starts at priority date
  │
  ▼
PROSECUTE
      Convert to non-provisional utilities (~$1,500/each)
      PCT for international coverage (30 months from priority)
      USPTO examination → office actions → grant

Structure

Leaf SERVICE scope. No governed child scopes. Patent evidence and filings live in {USER}/PATENTS/ (auth-gated via VAULT.md projection). Instance follows the Instance Pattern at {USER}/PATENTS/.

Instance lanes: DISCLOSURES/ — 80+ IDFs, each linked to a commit signal. PROVISIONALS/ — 6 drafted provisional patent applications. OUTPUT/ — compiled patent documents (LaTeX → PDF).

Required closure artifacts per scope: CANON.md, README.md, PATENT.md, VOCAB.md, ROADMAP.md, COVERAGE.md, LEARNING.md.

Gates

Each stage transition is a governed gate. Promotion requires evidence and mints COIN.

Gate From To Evidence Required
DISCLOSE — DISCLOSURE IDF filed, priority claim anchored, commit hash frozen
FILE DISCLOSURE PROVISIONAL Legal review, prior art search, claims drafted
APPLY PROVISIONAL APPLICATION Claims refined, prosecution strategy governed 
MUST:     Mint COIN on every gate transition (scope: PATENT)
MUST:     Ledger every promotion (work_ref = IDF id or provisional number)
MUST:     Evidence every promotion — no empty promotions
MUST NOT: Skip gates — DISCLOSURE before PROVISIONAL before APPLICATION

Prosecution Strengths

Strength Evidence
Physical hardware transformation PROV-006 satisfies Bilski machine-or-transformation
O(1) compliance checking MAGIC compliance 255 compiles to uint8_t bitmask with bitwise AND
Git-committed evidence chain Every claim traces to IDF with commit hash
Cross-portfolio differentiation No double-patenting across all 6 provisionals
Prior art coverage 252 queries across USPTO, EPO, JPO, non-patent lit

Ecosystem Connectivity

  1. Upstream: SERVICES governance contracts and DEXTER scope inheritance.
  2. MAGIC plane: commit signals trigger IDF discovery — the governance system IS the invention disclosure system.
  3. LEDGER plane: every gate transition (DISCLOSE → FILE → APPLY) ledgered with evidence chain.
  4. COIN plane: every promotion mints COIN. Filing is economic. Governance is work.
  5. KYC plane: micro-entity status verified before each filing.
  6. VAULT plane: all patent content VAULT-gated pre-publication. SHOP-safe proofs only (disclosure hash, commit ref, timestamp).
  7. FINANCIALS plane: $10,125 total patent budget covers 3 phases. Valued in portfolio.
