We need to output HTML fragment with sections: About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule. Only include sections that have real specific content. We must remove boilerplate: EEO, accommodation, etc. Also remove application instructions like "Apply now", "If you have any questions, please speak with your recruiter", etc. Also remove navigation/cookie etc. We need to preserve all substantive information. Let's parse the posting: Title: Build Our Future Together The Director, Patent Attorney will act as legal counsel on matters related to the development, protection, and management of Regeneron’s valuable intellectual property pertaining to its manufacturing. The role will be responsible for patent activities relating to manufacturing and bioprocessing at all stages of the development pipeline including cell line technologies, purification, formulations, assay and media development. This position will partner closely with our world-class scientists and manufacturing development leaders around key strategies for our rapidly growing patent portfolio, patent filings, trade secret protection, and patent actions. Then "When & Where Work Location: Warren, NJ and Tarrytown, NYHybrid: 4 days per week on site". That's schedule/location info. Then "Discover Your Role" bullet list: Identifying, capturing and prosecuting new inventions relating to manufacturing and bioprocessing; Preparing and prosecuting global patent applications relating to all aspects of manufacturing & bioprocessing including cell development, cell culture, purification, assay development, formulation, packaging and delivery; Leading outside counsel on various projects as appropriate; Conducting patent landscape overviews, freedom-to-operate analyses, validity assessments and patentability assessments in relation to Regeneron pipeline products, and presenting the results and analyses to senior members of the Law Department and senior management; Leading US and foreign administrative patent actions (e.g., oppositions, third party observations, inter partes reviews, etc.); Supporting due diligence projects, agreements and other transactional work, administrative initiatives, and policy questions. Advising on emerging legal issues, including monitoring and reviewing case law and legislative developments. Possess strong interpersonal skills and the ability run multiple projects against competing priorities. Excel at handling a large and sophisticated docket with minimal direction. Have exceptional communication skills, including presentation, interpersonal, writing and conflict resolution. Then "This Role Requires": Ph.D. in the life sciences (e.g., biochemistry, molecular biology, cell biology, or related fields) Juris Doctorate from an accredited law school Admitted to practice before the USPTO and licensed to practice law in at least one state (member of the NY bar or eligible for in-house licensure in NY) 5- 10 years of proven experience in a law firm setting (with or without corporate law department experience) preparing and prosecuting patent applications in the biological arts. Then "Does this sound like you? Apply now to take your first step towards living the Regeneron Way!" (application instruction, remove) Then EEO boilerplate (remove). Then "Where required, we will provide reasonable accommodation..." (remove). Then "Where necessary, we disclose salary ranges for roles in all countries in which we operate. The final offer will be determined within the relevant range based on the country of employment, specific role level, and your skills and experience. In some countries, collective bargaining agreements (CBAs) may apply and influence certain elements of pay or benefits. Regeneron offers a competitive and comprehensive total rewards package which may include, depending on country and role: annual bonuses or other incentive plans, equity awards, pension or retirement benefits, 401(k) company match, health and wellness programs, fitness centers, insurance benefits (e.g. medical, dental, vision, life and disability), paid time off, and family support benefits. For additional information about Regeneron benefits in the U.S., please visit https://careers.regeneron.com/en/working-at-regeneron/total-rewards/. For other locations, additional information will be provided during the recruitment process. If you have any questions, please speak with your recruiter." (some of this is benefits info; we can keep benefits description but remove instructions to visit link? The instruction to visit link is maybe considered application instruction? It's about benefits info; we can keep the description but maybe drop the link as it's a reference; but we should preserve substantive info: benefits list. The link is not essential but could be considered boilerplate? It's a URL; we could keep it as part of benefits description? The rule: remove cookie/navigation/legal/EEO/equal-opportunity/scam-warning boilerplate, duplicated lines, and application instructions. The link is not exactly those; it's a reference for benefits. Might be okay to keep but it's not essential. Safer to keep benefits description without the link? The instruction "For additional information about Regeneron benefits in the U.S., please visit ..." is like a pointer; could be considered application instruction? Not exactly. I'd keep the benefits description but maybe drop the sentence that tells to visit link. However, we need to preserve ALL substantive information; the link is not substantive info about benefits; it's a pointer. So we can drop that sentence. Then "Please be advised that at Regeneron, we believe we do our best work when we are together. For that reason, many roles are required to be performed on‑site. Please speak with your recruiter and hiring manager for more information about on‑site expectations for your role and location." That's about schedule/on-site expectations; we can incorporate into Schedule section. Then "As part of the recruitment process, certain background checks may be conducted in accordance with the laws of the country where the position is based. The purpose of such checks is to verify certain information prior to the commencement of employment such as identity, right to work and educational qualifications." That's boilerplate (legal). Remove. Then "For jobs in Canada: this posting is for an existing position. Salary Range (annually) $205,000.00 - $341,600.00". This is salary range; we need Pay section. Now we need to structure sections. We have: About the role: maybe a paragraph summarizing the role: The Director, Patent Attorney will act as legal counsel on matters related to the development, protection, and management of Regeneron’s valuable intellectual property pertaining to its manufacturing. The role will be responsible for patent activities relating to manufacturing and bioprocessing at all stages of the development pipeline including cell line technologies, purification, formulations, assay and media development. This position will partner closely with our world-class scientists and manufacturing development leaders around key strategies for our rapidly growing patent portfolio, patent filings, trade secret protection, and patent actions. That's substantive. Responsibilities: list from "Discover Your Role" bullet points (the list of duties). We'll put each as
  • . Requirements: maybe the "This Role Requires" bullet list (PhD, JD, admitted to USPTO, NY bar, 5-10 years experience). That's requirements. Qualifications: maybe overlapping with requirements? Could treat requirements as qualifications. But we need to decide sections. The instruction: Use headings for section headings (e.g. About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule). We can include both Requirements and Qualifications if there is distinct content. The posting has "This Role Requires" which includes education, licensure, experience. That's both requirements and qualifications. Could split: Requirements: PhD, JD, admitted to USPTO, NY bar. Qualifications: 5-10 years experience, strong interpersonal skills, ability to run multiple projects, exceptional communication skills, etc. However the skills list also appears later: "Possess strong interpersonal skills and the ability run multiple projects against competing priorities. Excel at handling a large and sophisticated docket with minimal direction. Have exceptional communication skills, including presentation, interpersonal, writing and conflict resolution." Those are skills. Thus we can map: - About the role: introductory paragraph. - Responsibilities: the list of duties (identifying, capturing, prosecuting; preparing and prosecuting global patent applications; leading outside counsel; conducting patent landscape overviews; leading US and foreign administrative patent actions; supporting due diligence; advising on emerging legal issues). - Requirements: education and licensure: Ph.D. in life sciences; Juris Doctorate; admitted to practice before USPTO; licensed to practice law in at least one state (member of NY bar or eligible for in-house licensure in NY). - Qualifications: 5-10 years of proven experience in a law firm setting preparing and prosecuting patent applications in the biological arts. - Skills: strong interpersonal skills; ability to run multiple projects against competing priorities; excel at handling a large and sophisticated docket with minimal direction; exceptional communication skills (presentation, interpersonal, writing, conflict resolution). - Benefits: list from total rewards: annual bonuses or other incentive plans, equity awards, pension or retirement benefits, 401(k) company match, health and wellness programs, fitness centers, insurance benefits (medical, dental, vision, life and disability), paid time off, family support benefits. - Pay: Salary Range (annually) $205,000.00 - $341,600.00. - Schedule: Hybrid: 4 days per week on site; Work Location: Warren, NJ and Tarrytown, NY; also note on-site expectations: many roles required to be performed on-site; speak with recruiter for more info. We'll summarize: Hybrid role requiring 4 days per week on-site; locations: Warren, NJ and Tarrytown, NY. We must not include placeholders like "commensurate with experience". Not present. We must not repeat job title as heading. We must not include Job ID/requisition numbers. We must output only HTML fragment. Let's craft. We'll need to wrap sections in appropriate tags: each section heading

    then content: either

    for prose or

    • for lists. We'll need to decide which content is prose vs list. About the role: prose ->

      . Responsibilities: list ->

      • each duty. Requirements: list ->
        • each. Qualifications: maybe single item -> could be

          or

          • . Since it's one line, we can use

            . Skills: list ->

            • . Benefits: list ->
              • . Pay: maybe

                with salary range. Schedule: maybe

                with hybrid and locations. Let's extract exact phrasing to preserve. About the role paragraph: "The Director, Patent Attorney will act as legal counsel on matters related to the development, protection, and management of Regeneron’s valuable intellectual property pertaining to its manufacturing. The role will be responsible for patent activities relating to manufacturing and bioprocessing at all stages of the development pipeline including cell line technologies, purification, formulations, assay and media development. This position will partner closely with our world-class scientists and manufacturing development leaders around key strategies for our rapidly growing patent portfolio, patent filings, trade secret protection, and patent actions." We'll keep that. Responsibilities list items: need to capture each bullet from "Discover Your Role". The text: "Identifying, capturing and prosecuting new inventions relating to manufacturing and bioprocessing; Preparing and prosecuting global patent applications relating to all aspects of manufacturing & bioprocessing including cell development, cell culture, purification, assay development, formulation, packaging and delivery; Leading outside counsel on various projects as appropriate; Conducting patent landscape overviews, freedom-to-operate analyses, validity assessments and patentability assessments in relation to Regeneron pipeline products, and presenting the results and analyses to senior members of the Law Department and senior management; Leading US and foreign administrative patent actions (e.g., oppositions, third party observations, inter partes reviews, etc.); Supporting due diligence projects, agreements and other transactional work, administrative initiatives, and policy questions. Advising on emerging legal issues, including monitoring and reviewing case law and legislative developments." Note there is also "Possess strong interpersonal skills..." but that's skills. Thus responsibilities list: 6 items (maybe 7 if we split the supporting due dil
