DeepIP Secures $40 Million in Funding to Standardize AI Operations for Global Patent Work

AI Patent Standard Established

DeepIP, the AI patent platform, has raised 25 million dollars in Series B funding, bringing its total capital to 40 million dollars. Co-led by Korelya Capital and Serena, the investment follows a period where the company saw its annual recurring revenue grow tenfold. The New York and Paris-based firm is positioning itself as the primary system of record for modern patent operations.

Workflow Integration and Growth

The platform is currently trusted by more than 400 law firms and corporate teams, including industry leaders like Philips and Greenberg Traurig. By integrating directly into Microsoft Word and existing management systems, DeepIP allows professionals to use AI without changing their established routines. This embedded approach has led to significantly higher adoption rates compared to standalone software alternatives.

Unified Intelligence

Paul Degueuse, Partner at Korelya Capital, noted that the patent lifecycle needs to catch up with how AI is transforming innovation. The first wave of AI in patent practice focused on speeding up individual tasks rather than the cumulative nature of the work. DeepIP addresses this by allowing intelligence to move seamlessly with innovation as work evolves across teams and time.

Solving Technical Complexity

Unlike generic language models, this platform is specifically engineered for high-stakes technical fields such as chemistry and life sciences. It handles complex tasks including Markush group derivation and biological sequence compliance while preventing the hallucinations common in general AI. This precision ensures that legal teams can manage the entire patent lifecycle from a single, unified interface.

Leadership and Expertise

Founded in 2024 by François-Xavier Leduc and Edouard d’Archimbaud, the company draws on deep expertise from their previous work at Kili Technology. The founders previously delivered AI solutions to Fortune 500 companies before focusing on the specific needs of the IP sector. Their mission focuses on making AI a trusted, first-class layer across every step of the patent lifecycle.

Security and Future Outlook

The new funding will accelerate the development of agentic capabilities that allow the AI to critique its own legal logic. Security remains a central pillar, utilizing a zero-retention model to protect sensitive intellectual property with SOC II and ISO certifications. These safeguards are essential for firms operating in 25 different jurisdictions where confidentiality is a strict requirement. Learn more at www.deepip.ai.
