Patent Counsel/ Patent Agent, Innovation Law

We need to output HTML fragment with sections: About the role? The posting includes a paragraph about culture, purpose, etc. That could be "About the role" or maybe "About the company". The instruction: use

for section headings (e.g. About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule). We need to include sections only when posting has real specific content. We have: - About the role / company: The first paragraph about BMS purpose, culture, etc. That's substantive. - Position Summary: description of role location etc. Could be part of About the role or separate? Could be "Position Summary". Not listed as allowed heading but we can use "About the role". Probably combine. - Responsibilities: list of duties (Key Responsibilities). Use

• . - Qualifications: list of qualifications. - Skills: maybe not separate; qualifications include skills. Could have Skills section if we extract skills like analytical, written, verbal communication, service-oriented, etc. But we already have qualifications covering. Might not need separate Skills. - Benefits: there is a Benefits paragraph describing benefits. Use
  • for list? It's prose with list-like items. Could convert to
    • . - Pay: Compensation Overview with salary ranges per location. That's specific. So include Pay section. - Schedule: Not mentioned. No schedule info. So omit. We must not repeat job title as heading. No Job ID/requisition as heading. We can include minor metadata in a short

      or drop it. The posting ends with "R1606490 : Patent Counsel/ Patent Agent, Innovation Law". That's job ID and title. We should not put as heading; we can drop or put in a short

      . Probably drop. We must remove boilerplate: cookie/navigation/legal/EEO/equal-opportunity/scam-warning, duplicated lines, application instructions. So remove sections like "Supporting People With Disabilities", "Candidate Rights", "Data Protection", "How We Work", etc. Also remove the links and instructions. We must preserve ALL substantive information; do not invent or summarize away detail. So we need to keep the content of the sections we include. Let's extract: About the role / company: The first paragraph up to "Position Summary:"? Actually the first paragraph: "At Bristol Myers Squibb, our employees often ask, “Who are you working for?”—a question that fuels collaboration, accountability, and urgency in our work. Our purpose-driven culture inspires us to discover, develop, and deliver innovative medicines to prevail over serious diseases. We offer uniquely interesting and meaningful work, opportunities for growth, and a supportive environment that values inclusion, wellbeing, flexibility, and comprehensive benefits. This is work that transforms the lives of patients, and the careers of those who do it." Then "Position Summary: Bristol Myers Squibb (BMS) is seeking an experienced patent attorney or agent to join our headquarters in Princeton, New Jersey, or one of our research centers in Cambridge, MA, or San Diego, CA. The patent practitioner will support clients across multiple functional areas to provide strategic counsel to key stakeholders. Responsibilities will primarily include internal preparation and prosecution of patents as well as providing strategic counsel, including freedom to operate, business development diligences, and client counseling. The patent practitioner will work closely with clients in various functions in a dynamic, growth-oriented environment and will collaborate with other in-house and outside attorneys to accomplish BMS objectives." We could combine that into About the role section. Or we could have About the role (first paragraph) and Position Summary as part of same? The instruction says use headings like About the role, Responsibilities, etc. So we can have About the role containing the culture and position summary. That's fine. Responsibilities: list under Key Responsibilities. Need to capture each bullet: - Prepare and prosecute patent applications, including drafting, filing, and managing responses to office actions on a global level. - Conduct freedom-to-operate analyses and provide strategic counsel on patentability and infringement issues. - Manage patent portfolios, including conducting patent landscape analyses and developing patent strategies to protect BMS's innovations. - Provide due diligence support for business development activities, including evaluating IP portfolios of potential partners and acquisition targets. - Draft and negotiate license and research collaboration agreements. - Manage relationships with outside counsel to ensure high-quality and cost-effective legal services. - Regularly engage with business and technical teams to provide IP-related guidance and support. - Stay updated on changes in patent laws and regulations and ensure compliance with all relevant legal requirements. Qualifications: list: - Registered to practice before the USPTO. - J.D. degree is preferred, but not required. - 7-10 years of patent law experience in the pharmaceutical/biotechnology industry. - Bachelor’s degree or equivalent in chemistry, biochemistry, or pharmaceutical sciences. An advanced degree and/or scientific research experience is preferred. - Excellent analytical, written, and verbal communication skills. - Service-oriented focus with the ability to work as part of cross-functional teams and drive results. - Highest integrity, excellent judgment, and the ability to proactively recognize and effectively assess business risk and communicate legal issues to patent, legal, and key stakeholders. - We hire for skills and capabilities, not just credentials – if this role excites you, but doesn’t perfectly match your resume, we encourage you to apply anyway. That last sentence is more encouragement; still substantive. Keep. Skills: Could extract from qualifications: Excellent analytical, written, and verbal communication skills; Service-oriented focus; ability to work cross-functional; highest integrity; excellent judgment; ability to proactively recognize and assess business risk; communicate legal issues. But we already have them in qualifications. Might not need separate Skills section. However the instruction allows Skills heading if we have content. Could we create a Skills section pulling out those skill-related items? Might be redundant but allowed. However we should prefer few substantive sections over many thin ones. So better to keep qualifications only and not add Skills. Benefits: The Benefits paragraph: "Subject to the terms and conditions of the applicable plans then in effect, you may be eligible to participate in our comprehensive benefit plans – including wellbeing support, retirement and financial protection benefits, and insurance offerings (medical, dental, vision, life and disability). U.S.-based exempt employees are eligible for Flexible Time Off (FTO), which provides paid time off without a set accrual limit, subject to manager approval, along with 11 paid company holidays each year. Non-exempt employees, RayzeBio employees, and employees located in Puerto Rico receive 160 hours of paid vacation annually for new hires (subject to manager approval), 11 paid company holidays, and 3 optional holidays. Depending on eligibility, employees may also have access to additional time-off benefits, including paid sick leave, up to two paid volunteer days per year, summer hours flexibility, and leaves of absence for medical, personal, parental, caregiver, bereavement, or military needs. Eligible employees also enjoy an annual Global Shutdown between Christmas Day and New Year's Day. U.S.-based job seekers can explore full benefit offerings at https://careers.bms.com/benefits" We need to preserve all substantive information. Could convert to

      • items but some are sentences. Could keep as

        with list inside? The instruction: Use

        • for any list of duties/requirements/benefits. So we should turn the benefits into a list. Let's extract items: - Wellbeing support - Retirement and financial protection benefits - Insurance offerings (medical, dental, vision, life and disability) - Flexible Time Off (FTO) for U.S.-based exempt employees: paid time off without a set accrual limit, subject to manager approval, plus 11 paid company holidays each year - Non-exempt employees, RayzeBio employees, and employees located in Puerto Rico: 160 hours of paid vacation annually for new hires (subject to manager approval), 11 paid company holidays, and 3 optional holidays - Additional time-off benefits (depending on eligibility): paid sick leave, up to two paid volunteer days per year, summer hours flexibility, leaves of absence for medical, personal, parental, caregiver, bereavement, or military needs - Annual Global Shutdown between Christmas Day and New Year's Day (eligible employees) - Ability to explore full benefit offerings at https://careers.bms.com/benefits (maybe not a benefit but a link; we could keep as a note.) We should keep the link maybe as part of a

          after list. But instruction says remove application instructions etc. This link is informational; could keep as a

          . Might be okay. Pay: Compensation Overview with salary ranges: - Cambridge Crossing: $229,640 - $278,265 - Princeton - NJ - US: $208,760 - $252,968 - San Diego - CA - US: $229,640 - $278,265 Also note: "The starting pay range(s) listed above is for full-time employees (FTE). You may also be eligible for additional discretionary incentive cash and stock opportunities. We determine starting pay thoughtfully – carefully considering the nature of the role, required skills, work location, schedule and the knowledge and experience you bring. Final compensation is guided by pay equity principles and applicable employment laws. Compensation programs are reviewed on an ongoing basis and may be adjusted over time to reflect evolving market factors, and individual, team or Company performance." We should keep that substantive info. Could be in

          after list. Schedule: none. Now produce HTML fragment with

          headings and appropriate

          ,

          • . We must not include or . Just the fragment. Let's structure:
