Claude & Claude Code

Can you patent Claude-generated code?

Short answer: Claude and Claude Code can implement your design quickly; patentability depends on human conception and prior-art clearance. Install Patent PreCheck MCP so Claude can call precheck_score on the files it edits.

Claude Code users treat the agent as a pair programmer. Examiners treat your claims against published patents and open source. Bridge the gap with statute-by-statute scoring and prior-art matches inside the same session.

Add @patentprecheck/mcp to your MCP config (stdio or hosted https://patentprecheck.com/mcp). Then ask: “Run precheck_score on src/core/invention.ts.”

Setup: Integrations

Long-context builds still need Alice analysis

Large refactors can implement eligible technical improvements — or generic automation. Patent PreCheck separates §101 eligibility from §102/§103 so you know which pillar to fix.
