Problem

Patent work is highly specialized but labor-intensive. Drafting applications, handling continuations and office-action responses, and producing claim charts require attorneys to review large volumes of technical and legal material, while roughly nine in ten utility patent applications receive at least one office-action rejection. That creates a capacity and margin problem: work that is too time-consuming or expensive to perform at scale limits law-firm throughput, client responsiveness, and the ability of solo or smaller practices to compete with larger firms.

The clearest use case is accelerating the production and prosecution of a patent application without sacrificing attorney judgment or quality. Solve says customers achieve 50% or greater efficiency gains, with drafting time savings of up to 60–80%; that can let practitioners take on more matters, improve fixed-fee economics, and spend more time on high-value claim strategy, figures, and legal analysis rather than repetitive drafting and review.

Product / Service

Solve Intelligence is a specialized AI platform for the patent lifecycle, delivered through its Patent Copilot and related workflow tools. It supports invention harvesting, patent-application drafting, continuations and divisionals, office-action responses, prosecution, and patent portfolio work. The system is positioned as an assistant rather than an autonomous replacement: patent professionals remain in control while using AI to accelerate drafting, analysis, and review, and firms can encode their own know-how into reusable styles, workflows, and templates.

Its Charts product extends the platform into patent intelligence and claim analysis, including infringement and invalidity charts, standard-essential-patent mappings, freedom-to-operate and clearance reviews, claim-construction analysis, product mapping, and portfolio-level analysis across large document sets. The benefit is an integrated operating layer for patent teams that improves speed and consistency across both prosecution and contentious or strategic patent work.

Market

Solve competes in legal technology, specifically vertical AI for patent drafting, prosecution, and patent intelligence. Its competitive set includes specialized platforms such as DeepIP and Patlytics, as well as other AI patent-drafting and claim-analysis products such as Patentext and &AI. Solve’s differentiation is its breadth across the patent lifecycle, combining drafting and prosecution workflows with invention intake, firm-specific processes, and claim-charting and portfolio-analysis capabilities.

The company has substantial disclosed traction and does not appear to be pre-revenue, although public materials do not provide a revenue figure. Its website says thousands of legal professionals use the platform; company materials also report support across 700+ IP firms and, in an earlier update, 400+ IP teams across six continents, with DLA Piper and Siemens among named users. Solve announced a $40 million Series B in December 2025, bringing total funding to $55 million, and identifies Y Combinator and Microsoft/M12 among its backers; the varying customer counts likely reflect different dates or definitions of teams, firms, and users rather than a single standardized metric.
