Patlytics

Patlytics is an AI-powered patent intelligence platform purpose-built for intellectual-property work, applying generative AI and large language models across the full patent lifecycle: invention harvesting and disclosure, patent application drafting, office-action analysis, prior-art and novelty search, infringement detection, invalidity contentions, claim-chart generation, portfolio pruning, vault and classification, and transactional IP due diligence. Founded in 2023 and headquartered in New York, the company raised a $40M Series B led by SignalFire in April 2026 (roughly $65M total) and counts more than 40% of the Am Law 100 among its customers. Its machine-readable surface is a hosted, OAuth-protected Model Context Protocol server at mcp.patlytics.ai that exposes read-only semantic patent search, patent/claims lookup, non-patent-literature search over OpenAlex, and access to an organization's private Patlytics portfolios and vault; there is no public REST OpenAPI, and the platform API at api.patlytics.ai is fully authentication-gated.

Patlytics publishes 1 API on the APIs.io network. Tagged areas include Company, Intellectual Property, Patents, Legal Tech, and Artificial Intelligence.

Patlytics’ developer surface includes documentation, API reference, getting-started guide, authentication, engineering blog, support, signup flow, and 20 more developer resources.

Regulatory Posture applies to this provider. Its tags matched the Horizontal (data, software, accessibility, platform) regime, so Regulatory Posture carries 15 points of the composite. If this regime is wrong for your business, say so on your provider repo — the applicability map is public and we will correct it.

Create-or-Update Ergonomics could not be measured. We hold no machine-readable contract for this provider to read, so there is nothing to measure a write surface against. Excluded rather than scored zero: never-measured and measured-empty are different facts. Publishing an OpenAPI is what makes this facet — and several others — scorable at all.

The six quality facets above are damped to 85 points between them, because the conditional facet above carries the other 15. That is why each facet's contribution is shown against a damped maximum: raising a quality facet moves the composite by 85% of its nominal weight, not 100%. The full arithmetic is at apis.io/rating/.

Improve this rating by publishing the missing artifacts — every area above can be raised, and the full rubric is at apis.io/rating/. Every facet and dimension name above is a link: it opens that measurement's own page — what it means, the exact checks that feed it, how the whole catalog distributes on it, and the providers at the top of it. This rating is computed from github.com/api-evangelist/patlytics: open an issue to ask a question, or submit a pull request to add artifacts.

  description: 'The Patlytics Patent Search connector — a hosted Model Context Protocol server (Streamable HTTP) that brings
    concept-level, AI-native patent intelligence into MCP clients such as Claude. Five read-only tools cover semantic prior-art
    discovery over patent claims, bibliographic and claims lookup by publication number, non-patent-literature search (papers,
    journals, books, via OpenAlex), and listing an organization''s private Patlytics portfolios and vault patents. Access
    is restricted to existing Patlytics users: each member signs in individually through Patlytics OAuth 2.1 (authorization
    code + PKCE S256, dynamic client registration) and results are scoped to their organization. Deeper analyses — freedom-to-operate,
    infringement, invalidity and drafting — run in the Patlytics web application, linked from every result.'
