Abstract

While recent large language models (LLMs) have achieved promising results on individual patent drafting tasks, they fundamentally fail to investigate the core challenge of real-world patent drafting: generating a complete and legally coherent patent application directly from early-stage invention materials. Prior work predominantly assumes later-stage, highly structured, or already legalistic inputs. However, real patenting workflows begin with informal, de-legalized disclosures authored by inventors. To bridge the gap, we introduce Dis2Pat, a disclosure-to-patent dataset that reflects realistic patenting workflows by requiring the generation of complete patent applications directly from inventor-style, de-legalized disclosures. Given the inherent difficulty of long-form, legally constrained patent drafting and the strong privacy requirements, we further propose a strong baseline named Patent-MAF. It is a multi-agent framework for locally deployable patent drafting. Benchmark results reveal that current LLMs exhibit limitations in patent drafting, while Patent-MAF provides a strong baseline that consistently outperforms evaluated open-source models and remains competitive with large closed-source models.

What we could verify

These are the protocol signals we could actually recover from the available paper metadata. Use them to decide whether this paper is worth deeper reading.

Research brief

Metadata summary

While recent large language models (LLMs) have achieved promising results on individual patent drafting tasks, they fundamentally fail to investigate the core challenge of real-world patent drafting: generating a complete and legally coherent patent application directly from early-stage invention materials.

Based on abstract + metadata only. Check the source paper before making high-confidence protocol decisions.

Key takeaways

  • While recent large language models (LLMs) have achieved promising results on individual patent drafting tasks, they fundamentally fail to investigate the core challenge of real-world patent drafting: generating a complete and legally coherent patent application directly from early-stage invention materials.
  • Prior work predominantly assumes later-stage, highly structured, or already legalistic inputs.
  • However, real patenting workflows begin with informal, de-legalized disclosures authored by inventors.

Researcher actions

  • Compare this paper against nearby papers in the same arXiv category before using it for protocol decisions.
