The problem

Invention is how we tackle humanity’s biggest challenges. But today, securing a patent can take up to 24 months. Teams rely on a patchwork of Word documents, spreadsheets, emails and outdated IP systems. This results in slow, manual workflows that drain time, stall decision-making and often discourage inventors from filing at all.

The solution

Ankar lets innovators focus on what they do best: innovating. The company has built the first AI-powered operating system that unifies the entire patent lifecycle into one secure workflow. Everything from novelty assessment to drafting to prosecution happens in one place, enabling teams to do in hours what previously took weeks.
