Thomas W. Patapoff has filed for patents to protect the following inventions. This listing includes patent applications that are pending as well as patents that have already been granted by the United States Patent and Trademark Office (USPTO).

  • Publication number: 20240017016
    Abstract: The present disclosure is directed to pre-filled multi-dose injection devices and related therapeutic formulations and methods that lack a cloud point. The therapeutic formulation may be a transparent solution, and preservatives may remain within the aqueous phase without being phase separated to retain antimicrobial effectiveness.
    Type: Application
    Filed: November 15, 2021
    Publication date: January 18, 2024
    Inventors: Edward C. Gunzel, Thomas W. Patapoff
  • Publication number: 20230414878
    Abstract: The present disclosure is directed to pre-filled injection devices and related therapeutic formulations and methods that lack fatty acid particles. The therapeutic formulation may remain fatty acid particle free or substantially fatty acid particle free over time or when subjected to accelerated aging conditions.

  • Publication number: 20220148676
    Abstract: The present disclosure relates to polypeptide therapeutics, and in particular to techniques for prediction of polypeptide properties that may make for suitable polypeptide therapeutics using a model representative of electrostatics of a polypeptide. Particularly, aspects of the present disclosure are directed to ascertaining molecular multipole moments of an antibody molecule, creating a model of the antibody molecule by selecting sites within a representation of the antibody molecule, calculating a charge for each of the sites, where a combination of calculated charges for the sites approximates the molecular multipole moments of the antibody molecule, and simulating interactions of molecules in a solution. At least one molecule of the molecules in the solution is an instance of the model of the antibody molecule and the interactions are simulated based on the charges calculated for each of the sites within the representation of the antibody molecule.
