The Problem They're Solving

Patent attorneys traditionally spend weeks manually creating claim charts to identify potential patent infringements. This labor-intensive process requires deep technical analysis and careful documentation—work that's both time-consuming and error-prone.

Patent Watch, a Y Combinator-backed startup, is automating this workflow entirely.

What Patent Watch Does

Patent Watch uses AI to interpret patents, identify competing products, and automatically generate claim charts showing potential infringement. The platform delivers:

The software handles the heavy lifting that patent attorneys currently do manually, compressing weeks of work into a fraction of the time.

Why This Matters

Patent infringement detection is a critical but resource-intensive task for companies protecting their intellectual property. By automating the analysis and documentation process, Patent Watch enables patent teams to:

The Team & Backing

Patent Watch is part of Y Combinator's F25 batch, founded by Alex Stroe (Co-founder & CEO) and team. The startup is building in a space where patent work is increasingly becoming a target for AI automation.

What's Next

Patent Watch is positioning itself as the AI solution for patent teams looking to streamline infringement detection workflows. As more companies face patent disputes and need faster analysis, tools like this could reshape how patent work gets done.
