Patent claim drafting is a challenging legal drafting task that requires technical expertise, precise linguistic control, strict adherence to formal conventions, and the preservation of complex logical relationships among claim elements. While Chain-of-Thought (CoT) prompting has been widely used to improve the reasoning capabilities of large language models (LLMs), recent evidence suggests that its benefits may be limited, or even negative, in highly structured or pattern-sensitive tasks.

arXiv:2606. 01632v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Estimating the economic contribution of a single patent inside a product that embodies tens of thousands of patents is a long-standing unsolved problem in intellectual property economics.
ARGUS is a pipeline that builds document-level Event Knowledge Graphs (EKGs) from U.S. employment‑discrimination complaints. It uses a 5W1H-inspired schema, legal-domain models, and LLM‑based structured generation to extract fact‑bearing statements, create chunk‑level event graphs with participant, temporal, and causal structure, and merge them into comprehensive document representations. Evaluation shows that graph‑structured classifiers outperform raw and linearized baselines on claim classification, and EKG‑only retrieval improves document‑scoped QA, though overall open‑retrieval gains are limited by low first‑stage candidate recall.
