  • Execute FTO searches, Novelty Searches, and Prior Art Searches specific to:
  • Machine learning architectures (e.g., GNNs, transformers used in molecule prediction)
  • Software pipelines for target identification, QSAR modeling, docking, virtual screening
  • Cloud-based computational platforms for drug discovery
  • Analyze claims and map them against:
  • Algorithmic steps
  • Data structures
  • Model architectures
  • Software modules and APIs
  • Generate Patentability Reports, Claim Charts, and Technology Mapping Documents.

2. Patent Drafting – Software + Computational Biology

  • Draft detailed software + algorithm-centric patent specifications, including:
  • System architecture
  • Data flow diagrams
  • Model training workflows
  • Feature engineering pipelines
  • Molecular representation techniques (SMILES, fingerprints, embeddings)
  • Prepare claim sets covering:
  • Method claims (ML workflows, computational processes)
  • System claims (AI platforms, computational frameworks)
  • Computer-readable medium claims
  • Collaborate with inventors to capture both technical effect and novel algorithmic implementation.

3. Patent Filing & Prosecution Support

  • Support drafting of provisional, non-provisional, and PCT applications.
  • Prepare technical responses to office actions, focusing on algorithmic novelty and inventive step.
  • Coordinate with patent attorneys on claim amendments and prosecution strategy.

4. Technical Evaluation & Deep-Dive Analysis

  • Review source code architectures, model design documents, and software product flows.
  • Evaluate:
  • Novelty in ML architectures for molecule generation/optimization
  • Data engineering logic (ETL, preprocessing, feature selection)
  • Cloud-native deployment of AI drug discovery workflows
  • Assess scientific publications and compute-heavy pipelines for patentability.

5. Competitive Intelligence (Tech + Bio)

  • Track global IP filings across:
  • AI drug discovery platforms
  • Computational chemistry models
  • Generative ML frameworks for molecule design
  • Bioinformatics software tools
  • Develop landscape reports highlighting whitespace in algorithmic innovation.

Required Skills & Technical Qualifications

  • M.Tech/MS in Bioinformatics, Computer Science, AI/ML, Biotechnology, or related field.
  • Experience in:
  • Patent Drafting (software + algorithm emphasis)
  • FTO, Novelty & Prior Art Searches
  • IP mapping for AI/ML techniques
  • Strong understanding of:
  • Machine learning workflows (training, inference, optimization)
  • Drug discovery AI tools (Docking, QSAR, molecular dynamics, GNNs, generative models)
  • Software architectures, APIs, cloud platforms
  • Hands-on familiarity with patent databases:
  • USPTO, EPO, WIPO, Derwent, Orbit, PatBase
  • Ability to convert technical descriptions into claim-worthy IP language.
  • Excellent analytical writing and documentation skills.
