Challenge

Genomic Patent Prior Art and Infringement Classifier with AutoGen

IP disputes in single-cell sequencing require rigorous multi-agent analysis of patent claims against scientific publications. Build a conversational multi-agent audit team using Microsoft AutoGen to parse claim charts and highlight overlapping method steps. Achieve 90% precision on patent claim overlap extraction.

Evaluation rubric

How submissions are scored

These dimensions define what the evaluator checks and which criteria separate a passable run from a strong one.

Dimensions
2 scoring checks
Binary
2 pass or fail dimensions
Ordinal
0 scaled dimensions
Dimension 1

risk_level_format

Risk level must be HIGH, MEDIUM, or LOW.

Binary check

This dimension contributes its full weight only when the submission satisfies the requirement. Partial credit is not awarded.

Dimension 2

claim_overlap_precision

Precision of identified claim limitations matching prior art text • target: 0.9 • range: 0-1

Binary check

This dimension contributes its full weight only when the submission satisfies the requirement. Partial credit is not awarded.

Learning goals

What you should walk away with

  • Implement multi-agent conversation topologies using Microsoft AutoGen framework

  • Extract structured patent claim elements from USPTO documentation

  • Cross-examine genomic library preparation protocol steps against prior art literature

  • Generate evidence reports highlighting potential claim infringement and anticipation risks
