Solve Intelligence announced that it has raised £30 million Series B co-led by Visionaries and 20VC, taking its total funding to £40 million. Other existing investors, including Thomson Reuters and Y Combinator, increased their ownership, alongside additional participants. Angel investors include the founders of Tinder, Canva, Deel, Ironclad, Base44, Cleo, Hugging Face, Pigment, Higgsfield and Trouva, as well as Kevin Johnson, who founded Quinn Emanuel’s IP litigation practice.
The round comes just months after the company’s £9 million Series A and reflects how quickly the IP industry is adopting Solve Intelligence, which is becoming the platform for in-house and outside counsel IP teams to collaborate across every part of the patent process.
The company raised this round to double down on two priorities. First, it is broadening its platform beyond patent drafting and prosecution. More than 400 IP teams across 6 continents currently use Solve Intelligence for invention harvesting, patent application drafting, continuations, divisionals, office action responses and more.
With the Series B, Solve Intelligence is launching its new Charts product, enabling legal professionals to handle freedom-to-operate and clearance work, infringement and validity analysis, standard-essential patent mapping, patent litigation and other workflows. The company states that its goal is simple: if it touches patents, users should be able to do it faster, better and more collaboratively within Solve Intelligence.
The second priority is expanding its global footprint. The company already works with IP teams across the US, Europe and beyond, and with the new funding it is opening offices in New York City and Munich to expand on-the-ground customer support. Solve Intelligence will continue to grow its team of AI researchers, patent attorneys and software engineers as it builds what it describes as the go-to platform for every part of the patent process.
The new Charts product helps IP teams generate and analyse infringement and invalidity claim charts, standard-essential patent mappings, freedom-to-operate and clearance reviews, and portfolio-level comparisons and thematic analyses across thousands of documents. Customers can encode firm or company-specific know-how into the platform, creating reusable AI styles, workflows and templates that reflect their practice. Charts includes full citation support and exposed AI reasoning to maximise transparency and trust.
Solve Intelligence says it is building Charts so that patent attorneys, litigators, transaction teams and in-house IP leaders can take on work previously too time-consuming or expensive to scale, while also improving quality. The company notes that its growth has been driven not only by what Solve Intelligence can do but also by how it does it. Confidentiality has been treated as a non-negotiable requirement from day one, and its architecture, deployment model and product decisions are designed to meet the expectations of leading law firms, corporates and public institutions.
Solve Intelligence builds AI systems deeply tuned to patent language, legal standards and technical detail across software, hardware, life sciences, chemistry and more. It integrates tightly with existing tools, including Microsoft Word and established patent processes. Customers report up to 60–80% time savings on drafting while maintaining or improving quality, and since the Series A, the average number of actions performed per user per week has increased by 265% as teams bring more of their workflows into the platform.
The company began with patent drafting and prosecution, expanded into invention harvesting and collaboration between in-house and outside counsel, and now into claim charting and portfolio analysis with Charts. It believes that over the next five years, most in-house and outside counsel IP teams will collaborate on platforms like Solve for every part of their patent workflows, with inventors and R&D teams interfacing through AI-native, transparent and secure systems. Solve Intelligence’s aim is to become the core software layer powering how innovation is captured, protected and commercialised.
