DeepIP Raises $40M to Unify AI Patent Work

DeepIP secures $25M Series B, bringing total funding to $40M as it becomes the go-to AI platform for patent professionals worldwide.

Patent work has long suffered from fragmented AI tools that handle individual tasks but fail to connect them. DeepIP, a workflow-native AI platform for patent operations, is addressing this directly with fresh capital and rapid enterprise adoption.

The Funding Round

New York and Paris-based DeepIP closed a $25M Series B round on March 3, 2026. The round was co-led by Korelya Capital and Serena, the firm behind Dataiku. Existing investors Balderton, known for backing Revolut, and Headline, an investor in Mistral AI, also participated.

The new capital brings DeepIP's total funding to $40M. The company reported tenfold ARR growth over the past 18 months, signaling strong demand from law firms and corporate IP teams.

The Problem It Solves

Most AI tools in patent practice operate in silos. A professional might use one tool for prior art searches, another for drafting claims, and yet another for portfolio tracking. Switching between these systems forces teams to manually transfer context, increasing the risk of errors and delays.

This matters because patent work is not a series of isolated tasks. A patent application can span years, involve multiple teams, and require decisions that build on prior work. Losing continuity at any stage creates real operational risk.

As application volumes grow and experienced IP talent remains scarce, the need for a connected system has become more pressing.

How DeepIP Works

DeepIP embeds AI directly into the tools patent professionals already use, including Microsoft Word and existing IP management systems. This approach removes the need for teams to learn new software or change their workflows.

According to the company, this integration model drives up to 20 percent higher adoption and 40 percent higher usage compared to standalone AI tools. To date, the platform has assisted with more than 40,000 patent matters.

DeepIP is currently trusted by more than 400 law firms and corporate IP teams across 25 jurisdictions and five continents. Clients include Greenberg Traurig, Mewburn Ellis, Dexcom, and Philips.

CEO and Co-Founder François-Xavier Leduc described the company's approach: "The first wave of AI in patent practice focused on speeding up individual tasks. But patent work is cumulative. It spans years, teams, decisions. We built DeepIP to be the system where that work lives, with AI embedded throughout the workflow so professionals don't have to manage fragmentation or carry context manually."

Investor Perspective

Investors see DeepIP's platform positioning as a response to a fragmented global market for AI in patent operations.

Paul Degueuse, Partner at Korelya Capital, commented: "DeepIP has built the modern end-to-end infrastructure for the new era of IP. Leveraging deep vertical expertise and native workflows that meet users where they are as compounding moats, the team has built an emerging global category leader in a matter of months."

Olivier Martret, Partner at Serena, pointed to the company's revenue growth as a sign of real traction. "DeepIP has reached a major milestone since its Series A, increasing revenue by tenfold in the last 18 months and rolling out an AI-native platform now adopted by leading players and embedded at the heart of patent professionals' daily workflows."

Martret added that platform positioning is key to structuring what remains a highly fragmented global market.

What Comes Next

DeepIP plans to utilize the Series B funding to enhance integrations across the entire patent lifecycle and expand its agentic AI capabilities. Agentic AI refers to systems that can autonomously execute sequences of actions, thereby reducing the need for manual oversight in complex, multi-step tasks.

The company's roadmap targets greater collaboration across teams working on the same patent matters, along with tighter coordination between law firms and their corporate clients.

DeepIP's growth comes as broader market consolidation takes shape. Leading enterprises are moving away from collections of separate AI tools in favor of integrated platforms that manage patent operations from start to finish.
