About Autheo

With nearly 100 equity cofounders from leading companies and institutions—many with advanced degrees and PhDs—Autheo is solving the critical challenges blocking business adoption of blockchain technology.

Autheo’s Layer-1 network, staking and fee model, and DevHub builder environment are being built and strengthened, alongside sovereign identity (TheoID), decentralized compute and persistent storage through the Autheo Marketplace, AI inference (THEO AI), and post-quantum cryptography.

Key Features

• Layer-0 OS + Layer-1 — Sovereign Cosmos-based coordination layer with an EVM-compatible execution environment, IBC interoperability, and Proof of Autheo consensus.
• Eigensphere Engine — Multi-language runtime. Rust is a first-class path for execution, cryptography, and developer tooling, alongside Go, Solidity, Move, Vyper, and C.
• DevHub & full-stack SDKs — One workspace for frontend, backend, smart contracts, and orchestration.
• TheoID — Sovereign identity for people, services, and AI agents, with a post-quantum roadmap (NIST-standardized ML-KEM, ML-DSA, and SLH-DSA).
• Autheo Marketplace — Decentralized compute, storage, and service markets built into the Autheo network.
• THEO AI — Inference and agent orchestration as a native primitive, not a third-party bolt-on.
• DePIN infrastructure — On-chain networks for real-world infrastructure ownership and resource sharing.

Audits & Organization

Audits: Halborn (testnet and validator node platform), CertiK (Layer-1 chain and smart contracts), Adevar Labs (Base to Autheo bridge).

Token: THEO, the native utility coin of the Autheo network.

Organization: Launch Legends Inc., a Wyoming corporation, parent of Autheo LLC. Stewarded in part by the Autheo Foundation. 100+ equity cofounders across 25+ countries.

Compensation & Growth Path

This is a part-time equity / token-based cofounder opportunity. You will receive equity in Launch Legends, Autheo, and the WFO Creator Network, along with token allocations in the Autheo blockchain. We have already completed an initial financing round to support infrastructure and marketing, and are currently in discussions with VCs and crypto investors to fund expansion. There is no cash salary for this role, and the commitment is at least 20 hours per week.

ROLE: IP Patent Paralegal — Autheo Internet Operating System | Patent Prosecution & Filings Support Job code: LA391

About the Role

This role reports to the Managing Directors and works day to day with the IP Patent Attorney and the IP Program Manager.

Autheo is recruiting an IP Patent Paralegal to support patent prosecution and filings for the Layer-0 Operating System and the integrated Layer-1: protocol and cryptography work, DevHub, TheoID and its post-quantum roadmap (NIST ML-KEM, ML-DSA, and SLH-DSA), the Autheo Marketplace, THEO AI, DePIN, and related software.

You will own docketing, formalities, and filing logistics, and you will help turn inventor disclosures into complete, timely application packages. The attorney sets claim strategy and drafts the legal substance; you make sure every filing is accurate, complete, and on time. This is a high-ownership support seat, not a general office-admin role.

Part-time does not mean advisory. Equity cofounder means you own the docket and the filing workflow, and you work next to the attorney, the IP Program Manager, and inventors rather than waiting on instructions for every step.

1. Docketing, formalities, and USPTO / PCT filings

• Maintain the patent docket: provisionals, non-provisionals, office-action dates, PCT filings, national-phase deadlines, maintenance fees, and related formalities.
• Prepare and submit filing packages and formal documents so USPTO and PCT submissions are complete, correctly formatted, and on time.
• Track correspondence, fees, and status, and flag approaching deadlines early enough for the attorney and inventors to act.

2. Invention disclosures and application support

• Support invention-harvesting meetings and help inventors complete disclosure and intake forms.
• Organize technical materials, figures, and prior-art references into clear supporting documentation for provisional and non-provisional filings.
• Assist with prior-art collection and document management so the attorney can draft and prosecute efficiently.

3. Portfolio administration and counsel support

• Keep application files, versions, assignments, and inventor records complete and current.
• Coordinate workflow among the IP Patent Attorney, the IP Program Manager, inventors, and, where used, outside counsel and a patent illustrator.
• Prepare portfolio status reports the attorney and Managing Directors can use.

Required

• 3+ years as a patent paralegal (or equivalent patent-support role) supporting USPTO filings and prosecution.
• Strong working knowledge of USPTO procedures, provisional and non-provisional filing formalities, and docketing.
• Experience preparing filing packages and supporting documentation, and managing a docket with hard statutory deadlines.
• Excellent attention to detail, document organization, and written communication.
• Comfortable working with inventors, a patent attorney, and an IP Program Manager in a distributed cofounder team.
• Technical aptitude sufficient to organize and accurately record software, cryptography, or distributed-systems subject matter with inventor and attorney guidance.

Preferred

• Experience with PCT filings, foreign prosecution coordination, and multi-jurisdiction formalities.
• Familiarity with patent-management or docketing software and invention-disclosure systems.
• Support work on software, cryptography, blockchain, cloud, or other advanced-technology patents, including post-quantum cryptography (NIST ML-KEM, ML-DSA, or SLH-DSA) where relevant.
• A technical degree or coursework in Computer Science, Engineering, or a related field.
• USPTO registration as a patent agent (not required).
• Prior work in a startup, deep-tech, or high-velocity R&D environment.

First 90 Days

• A complete, current docket of Autheo’s patent matters: every active deadline (provisional, conversion, office action, PCT, national phase, and fees), with owners and status.
• Standardized intake, filing-checklist, and document-workflow templates in use with the attorney and the IP Program Manager.
• Filing and formalities support for at least one provisional or non-provisional application, or a complete office-action package, prepared with the attorney.
• A simple portfolio-status report the attorney and Managing Directors can review on a regular cadence.

About Our Organization

Autheo is building a Layer-0 Operating System and an integrated Layer-1 so identity, compute, storage, developer tooling, and AI sit on one network instead of a pile of bridges. The work now is product and protocol: making that network faster, safer, and ready for the builders and businesses that will run on it.
