As artificial intelligence increasingly reshapes how companies innovate, the systems that manage intellectual property are undergoing their own transformation. Patent workflows often span years of collaboration across legal teams, researchers, and corporate strategists, creating a growing need for tools that can organise complex information and decision making. DeepIP, an AI driven patent platform, is aiming to address this challenge by embedding artificial intelligence across the entire patent lifecycle. The company has now raised $25 million in Series B funding to expand its platform and accelerate global adoption.
New funding to expand AI powered patent infrastructure
The Series B round brings DeepIP’s total capital raised to $40 million. The investment was co led by Korelya Capital and Serena, with participation from Balderton and Headline. The funding marks a significant milestone for the company as it scales its platform for patent professionals across both corporate and legal environments.
DeepIP’s technology is designed to help patent attorneys, in house intellectual property teams and innovation departments manage patent related tasks in a more coordinated way. Rather than focusing on individual steps in the process, the platform aims to support the full lifecycle of patent development, from early research and invention disclosure through to portfolio management and enforcement.
Integrating AI directly into professional workflows
A key aspect of DeepIP’s approach is its integration into existing working environments used by patent professionals. Many AI tools require users to adopt entirely new systems, which can create friction and reduce adoption. DeepIP instead embeds its capabilities directly into familiar workflows and tools.
By allowing teams to integrate artificial intelligence without changing their established processes, the platform aims to improve collaboration and efficiency across patent work. According to the company, organisations using DeepIP have seen adoption rates increase by up to 20 percent and usage levels rise by as much as 40 percent compared with standalone AI applications.
The platform is already used by several prominent patent law firms and corporate intellectual property departments in Europe and the United States. Customers include firms such as Greenberg Traurig and Mewburn Ellis, as well as technology driven organisations including Dexcom and Philips.
Built by experienced AI founders
DeepIP was founded in 2024 by François Xavier Leduc and Edouard d’Archimbaud, who previously built the artificial intelligence company Kili Technology. That company has delivered AI solutions to large global enterprises since 2018 and will continue operating independently with its own revenue streams.
The founders launched DeepIP with the goal of creating a platform where the long and complex nature of patent work could be managed more effectively. Patent development often involves cumulative research, legal decisions and strategic planning over many years, making it difficult to maintain continuity across teams and documents.
According to Leduc, early AI applications in the patent industry primarily focused on speeding up isolated tasks such as drafting or search. DeepIP aims to go further by embedding AI throughout the entire workflow so professionals can manage the context of their work more easily.
Transforming how innovation becomes value
Investors in the company see the platform as an opportunity to modernise an area of innovation infrastructure that has historically remained fragmented. Intellectual property plays a crucial role in turning technological discoveries into commercial value, but the systems used to manage patents have not always kept pace with the scale and speed of modern innovation.
DeepIP’s platform is designed to serve as a central workspace where patent related work can evolve over time, supported by AI that assists with research, documentation and collaboration.
With the new funding, the company plans to expand its capabilities further and continue developing AI features across the patent lifecycle. As organisations generate increasing amounts of intellectual property, tools that bring structure and intelligence to patent workflows may become an essential part of how innovation is protected and commercialised worldwide.
