• {{jurisdiction}}: The target jurisdiction (e.g., US, EU, PCT) if relevant.
• {{specific_concerns}}: Any specific concerns or areas where guidance is needed (e.g., claims, background, drawings).

Instructions

1. If any of the above inputs are missing, ask for them before proceeding.

3. Identify common mistakes in drafting the background, summary, and claims sections.
4. Offer tips for drafting clear and protective claims.
