3.1
Patent Drafting
Every patent application begins with the same challenge: understanding what is truly inventive. Patent practitioners must sift through disclosures, technical documents, and inventor discussions to identify the core innovation. Ankar helps practitioners distill complex technical disclosures into defensible claim strategies, enabling faster drafting of stronger patent applications.
3.2
Prosecution
Aggregate prosecution history, prior art references, and examiner positions to identify the strongest path forward and respond with confidence. Map rejections onto specific claims to expose weaknesses in examiner reasoning, assess how similar rejections have been raised and overcome before, and uncover the arguments and amendments most likely to move prosecution forward. Turn this into a ready-to-file response, targeted at specific rejections and grounded in legal precedent.
3.3
Invalidity
Build stronger opposition strategies by bringing the patent, prosecution history, prior art, and existing arguments into a single analysis. Identify the most promising grounds for challenge, test claims against the strongest evidence, and develop structured arguments supported by precise citations. Move faster from initial assessment to a defensible opposition strategy.
3.4
Portfolio Pruning
Focus investment on the patents that matter most. Understand which assets protect current products, map to competitor activity, or remain strategically relevant, and identify patents that no longer justify their renewal cost. Bring evidence into portfolio decisions so teams can reduce unnecessary spend while preserving the assets that create real competitive advantage.
