Solve Intelligence was founded in 2023 by a team of AI PhDs and patent attorneys who recognized a critical gap in the intellectual property landscape. While the global patent industry was valued at over $100 billion, the process of drafting and prosecuting patents remained remarkably slow, expensive, and manual - often costing tens of thousands of dollars and taking years to complete. The founders, who had deep expertise in both artificial intelligence research and patent law, realized that generative AI could dramatically transform this workflow. They built Solve Intelligence to address the pain points patent attorneys face daily: reducing review cycles, automating tedious drafting tasks, and ensuring higher quality, enforceable patents.
Today, Solve Intelligence has become the leading AI patent platform trusted by over 400 IP teams across six continents, including major law firms like DLA Piper, Faegre Drinker, and Perkins Coie, as well as enterprise clients like Intel and Amgen. The company's in-browser document editor works like Google Docs but is powered by specialized AI models trained specifically for patent work. Their platform covers the entire patent lifecycle - from invention harvesting and application drafting to prosecution, office action responses, and claim charting for litigation. Customers report 50-90% efficiency improvements, with AI recommendations achieving an 85% acceptance rate. Backed by elite investors including Y Combinator, Microsoft's M12, and Insight Partners, Solve Intelligence has raised $55M in total funding to scale its mission of bringing modern AI capabilities to the patent industry.
