David Sanker is a Mathematician, a Software Engineer, and a Patent Attorney.  David earned his Ph.D. in Mathematics from Berkeley, and returned to Berkeley 15 years later for his law degree after careers in academia and production software development.  As a Patent Attorney at Morgan Lewis, David was a patent litigator for four years and a patent practitioner for more than 13 years.  As a patent practitioner, David works with clients, inventors, the U.S. Patent Office, and associates throughout the world to build strong IP protection.  This has included a lot of work with AI, and David continues to speak and write about AI.  Other key technology areas include software, cybersecurity, semiconductor devices, database architecture, data visualization, medical devices, artificial reality & virtual reality, and identify verification.  David launched his own small patent firm SankerIP in February 2024, providing high-quality work without the very high billing rates and conflicts of large law firms.  David continues to speak and write about AI and patents, including chapters in four recent books.  More about David and SankerIP is available on the website sankerip.com.
