Intellectual Property

About

Provided by SankerIP

Intellectual Property (IP) is an important business asset, and can represent a substantial portion of a company’s net worth. SankerIP handles building strong IP portfolios, including patents, trademarks, and copyrights, and trade secrets.

The team at SankerIP has decades of IP experience in BigLaw, and now provides IP services that are more nimble and more cost effective as a patent law boutique.

In 2024, SankerIP founder David Sanker wrote a book chapter describing some of the techniques to assess patent quality, consolidating experience from nearly 20 years. The SankerIP team uses these techniques, and others, while preparing patent applications and working with patent examiners.The resulting high-quality patents can be particularly valuable when it is time to license out IP or enforce the patent rights.

In addition to securing new IP rights for IP portfolios, SankerIP can help strategically. This includes evaluating between patents or trade secrets, aligning portfolios with current business objectives, conducting due diligence on IP assets when acquiring or selling IP assets, and doing landscape analysis when there is business interest in expanding to a new line of business.

SankerIP clients vary substantially in both size and industry. This is partially because of the team’s experience in software and AI, which transcends many industries. We regularly secure new patent rights in these areas, defying the myth about software and AI patents.
