How do I file a patent from Claude?

You file a patent from Claude by connecting it to a patent platform with registered attorneys, then running the disclosure, review and approval steps in the chat while the attorney drafts and files. With Lightbringer MCP the sequence is:

1. Create a free account at app.lightbringer.com. An administrator turns on MCP access under the cog menu, Advanced Settings, Enable MCP access for this organization.
2. In Claude (web or desktop) open Customize, then Connectors, click Add, then Browse connectors, search for Lightbringer and click Connect. Sign in with email, Google or Microsoft, approve read and write access and select your organisation.
3. Ask Claude who you are on Lightbringer to confirm the connection works.
4. Describe the invention, or paste a design document, pull request or meeting notes. Claude runs a guided interview against your organisation's disclosure template and creates the invention disclosure.
5. Ask Claude what is missing. Lightbringer scores the draft for clarity, completeness and technical depth: is the technical problem defined, are alternative embodiments described, what will a reviewer ask. Revise in the chat.
6. Submit the disclosure for attorney review. Claude asks you to confirm before any action that creates, changes or submits data.
7. A Lightbringer patent attorney drafts the application in Lightbringer. You read the attorney's comments and redlines in Claude, reply to specific passages, and approve or request changes.
8. The attorney files the application. Lightbringer files in any jurisdiction and typically gets from disclosure to filing in days.

In Claude Code, run /plugin marketplace add lightbringer-patents/claude-plugin, then /plugin install lightbringer@lightbringer, then /mcp to authenticate. The plugin adds a skill that mines your repositories, documents and tickets for patentable problem and solution pairs and drafts the disclosure. The platform and connector are free; you pay a fixed price per application when you file. Full setup notes: Lightbringer MCP.
