Patlytics raises $40 million to lead in patent law automation

Patlytics, founded by Paul Lee and Arthur Jen, is aiming to revolutionize patent law with its AI-driven automation platform. The company recently raised $40 million in a Series B funding round led by SignalFire, with participation from several prominent investors including Jeff Hammes and Relativity. Patlytics differentiates itself from broader AI legal tools like Harvey and Legora by focusing specifically on the complexities of patent law, offering services from invention disclosures to IP litigation.

The startup has already gained traction, working with over 40% of the AmLaw 100 law firms, including Quinn Emanuel, Latham & Watkins, and others, and experienced tenfold revenue growth in 2025. It also serves corporate clients like Meta, Panasonic, Ford, and Verizon, helping them manage their patent portfolios.

Patlytics’ founder, Paul Lee, believes the market will consolidate around a single, specialized platform, positioning his company as the “Harvey tailored for patent attorneys.” The company faces competition from startups like Solve Intelligence and Ankar, but benefits from a large and growing market with a significant backlog of patent applications.
