Patlytics is an AI-powered patent intelligence platform that automates some of the hardest workflows in patent practice: prior art search, claim charting, invalidity analysis, infringement detection, and patent application drafting. It is built for patent attorneys, in-house IP teams, and patent litigation practices that need to move through large volumes of patent documents quickly without sacrificing rigor.
Founded in 2024 and based in New York, Patlytics raised a $14M Series A led by Next47 in 2025 — bringing total funding to roughly $21M — with participation from investors including Google's Gradient and 8VC. The company has reported rapid early growth in both revenue and customer base.
The platform's analytical depth is its differentiator. Patlytics searches across more than 70 million patent publications and 250 million non-patent-literature documents, and generates detailed claim charts that assess § 102 anticipation and § 103 obviousness on a claim-by-claim, element-by-element basis. The same charting engine supports infringement detection and invalidity analysis, tying retrieved references back to specific claim elements.
Patlytics fits prosecution and litigation teams that want AI to accelerate the evidence-assembly steps — finding relevant references and mapping them to claims — while attorneys retain judgment over strategy and the final legal positions. Custom enterprise pricing.
Hands-on review pending.
