Hi! I’m David Sanker.

In early 2024, I gave up my comfortable job in BigLaw to start my own small patent firm SankerIP.

As a patent attorney, I help folks build strong patent portfolios to protect their inventions, including many inventions that involve AI. I have been recognized twice as a top AI attorney by the Daily Journal, and I am also a software engineer, a mathematician, an author, and a former World Record Holder for memorizing π. 

My website provides content about a variety of topics, including AIIP, which is my series about the intersection of artificial intelligence and intellectual property law. I have three book chapters out this year, and they are all available online and/​or in PDF format. 

As AI and patent law evolve, there are always new issues, so let me know if there are topics you would like covered. And if you need assistance with your intellectual property portfolio, please reach out.
