French-US patent company DeepIP has raised $15 million. DeepIP combines third-party models, proprietary models, and unique data access for better performance and far fewer AI hallucinations. It supports patent practitioners in their daily tasks across patent preparation, drafting, and prosecution.
Co-founders François-Xavier Leduc (CEO) and Edouard d’Archimbaud (CTO) have spent the past five years creating AI solutions for research-driven institutions like Airbus, IBM, and SAP. DeepIP augments rather than replaces existing patent practitioners. The company has already helped draft 8,500 patent applications, with lawyers reporting up to a 50 per cent reduction in time spent drafting, freeing roughly two hours of work per day. This has led not just to better productivity and improved IP firms’ talent retention, but better quality, with patents that are more robust and more defensible.
According to CEO François-Xavier Leduc, there have never been as many innovations that could be protected and create more value for the entire economy.
“Yet, the way we manage the patents that make this possible hasn’t evolved fast enough. We built DeepIP through continuous feedback loops with the 50 largest US IP law firms, refining our AI to deliver with precision and legal rigor.
By combining cutting-edge AI with deep legal expertise, we’re pioneering a new era where patent professionals collaborate seamlessly with AI to work faster, smarter, and more strategically. We augment, not replace”.
A feature that sets the product apart is its ability to analyze past patent applications, allowing DeepIP’s AI to learn and replicate the writing patterns of individual practitioners and their clients. This is crucial, as clients often require a specific tone and particular wording.
