Case Study: Valeo enhances patent drafting and IP protection with Ankar AI

How Valeo accelerates IP workflows using Ankar

Valeo, a global automotive technology company, sought to leverage AI to enhance its patent drafting process, a resource-intensive task critical to protecting its innovations. Their initial experiments with generic AI tools proved cumbersome and ineffective, as the outputs lacked the technical accuracy and rigor required for patent applications. This led them to collaborate with the vendor Ankar to develop a more tailored AI solution.

Ankar worked closely with Valeo to design a system featuring iterative drafting and AI-enabled refinements, specifically built to support the workflow of patent engineers. The Ankar solution allowed engineers to quickly produce first drafts for straightforward cases and, more importantly, achieve higher-quality outcomes with improved coherence and issue-spotting for complex inventions. This empowered Valeo's IP experts to focus on strategic analysis, strengthening their capacity to protect innovation and optimize their patent filing process.
