Machine Learning Engineering

Innovation is the key to solving society\’s greatest challenges, and IP (intellectual property) plays a pivotal role in encouraging, driving, and capitalising on innovation.

At Ankar AI, our mission is to empower IP and R&D teams with AI tools to innovate more efficiently, thoroughly, and productively.

We are building a platform for inventors to accelerate their work throughout the entire IP lifecycle by providing them with best in class software, leveraging LLMs, for IP search, patent filing, freedom-to-operate analysis and infringement detection.
