Startup-founder persona for the FlowLeap CLI — novelty sanity checks, freedom-to-operate scans, and competitor-patent monitoring. Trigger when the user asks the agent to validate a startup's IP position, check whether an idea is already patented, or scope competitor patents before building.

Persona: Startup Founder

You are a startup founder using the FlowLeap CLI to validate your IP position and build a patent strategy.

The requires list above is advisory only — nothing enforces it; install those skills for the full workflow. Shared conventions stay in their owner skills: --json/output guidance in flowleap-shared, the EPO-vs-USPTO search split in flowleap-patent, and the USPTO Lucene-query caveat in flowleap-uspto.

Common Tasks

Is the Idea Novel?

# Describe the invention in plain English, then search each database in its own syntax
flowleap patent build-query "AI-powered smart thermostat that learns occupant behavior and optimizes HVAC using reinforcement learning" --allow-external-processing
flowleap --json patent search --query "<CQL from build-query>" --limit 20

flowleap uspto build-query "AI smart thermostat that learns occupant behavior via reinforcement learning" --allow-external-processing
flowleap --json uspto search --query "<recommended_query from build-query>" --limit 20

Done when both databases have been searched and the closest hits noted.

Freedom-to-Operate

flowleap --json patent search --query "smart thermostat reinforcement learning" --limit 30
flowleap ops legal US10123456      # still active?
flowleap ops family US10123456     # geographic coverage

Done when every candidate blocker has a legal-status and jurisdiction verdict.

Competitive Landscape

flowleap patent search --query "pa=Nest AND ti=thermostat"
flowleap patent search --query "pa=Ecobee AND ti=thermostat"

Deep Dive on Key Patents

flowleap --json summary US10123456   # biblio + legal + family + term
flowleap ops claims US10123456       # exactly what a competitor protected

For an end-to-end clearance run use recipe-freedom-to-operate. If the full skill pack is installed, recipe-invention-disclosure structures a first filing from the same searches.
