Solve Intelligence
AI platform for patent attorneys that drafts applications, answers office actions, builds claim charts, and supports patent litigation and portfolio work. Solve Intelligence raised a $40 million Series B in December 2025 and acquired Palito.ai in March 2026 and ClaimWise in May 2026.
Patent prosecution teams at law firms and in-house IP departments that want AI drafting and office action support inside an editor.
General legal teams that need contract review, or firms that will not let confidential invention disclosures into any cloud tool.
Verdict
Solve Intelligence makes AI software for patent work, founded in 2023 by Chris Parsonson, Angus Parsonson, and Sanj Ahilan. Patent attorneys at law firms and corporate IP teams use it to draft applications, respond to office actions, build claim charts, and analyze portfolios in an editor built for patents. Patent drafting mixes deep technical detail with patent law, and Solve is built for that mix rather than for the contract work most legal AI tools target.

Review Excerpts
Excerpts from company materials and public coverage of Solve Intelligence, plus representative buyer views drawn from public information. Paid reviews and pay-for-play sites were excluded.
“We are using the AI to help us produce a better work product within the constraints, whether it’s a fixed fee or a loosely defined budgetary constraint. The AI allows us to provide that better work product.”
“Solve is providing the ability to give a robust analysis to clear products, in a way that allows me to give security to the client, and also allows me to do my job a lot better.”
“Solve Intelligence stands out for their genuine customer obsession, particularly in how they partner with users to co-create tailored templates.”
