Patent disputes cost businesses millions in legal fees and lost revenue. Identifying potential infringements early is critical, yet most companies rely on analysts to manually review complex patents—a slow, costly, and error-prone process. Patent Watch eliminates this inefficiency. Using AI, the platform automates patent infringement detection and reporting, helping IP teams find violations faster while reducing costs.
From an Idea to a Game-Changer
Patent Watch was born from a deep passion for building solutions. Brothers Alexander and Andreas Stroe had already launched projects together, from crypto bots to an SAT prep platform. For four months, they worked on Patent Watch part-time, refining their idea. The breakthrough came when their first investor said “yes.” That moment changed everything—Andy left school, and Alexander quit his job. They went all in.
Building a Smarter IP Protection System
Founded in 2025, Patent Watch operates as a B2B SaaS company based in Delaware. The platform provides automated infringement detection, making it easier for businesses to protect their intellectual property.
The company has already made significant strides:
- Raised a $400K pre-seed round to fuel development.
- Signed early contracts and successfully detected infringements for clients.
With these early wins, Patent Watch is proving the demand for smarter patent protection.
Inspired by Resilience and Adaptability
Patent Watch draws inspiration from Justin.tv, a startup that began as an experiment—live-streaming one person’s life 24/7. Despite skepticism, the team adapted, listened to users, and pivoted. That journey led to Twitch, one of the world’s biggest gaming platforms. Their persistence and ability to evolve inspire Patent Watch’s approach to building and scaling.
The Future of Patent Litigation
Over the next four years, Patent Watch aims to become the central platform for patent enforcement. The vision extends beyond infringement detection. The team plans to develop a seamless workflow for the entire litigation process, covering:
- Infringement identification for analysts.
- Reverse engineering documentation for engineers.
- Approval workflows for IP managers.
- Case tracking and full visibility for patent attorneys.
By integrating all these functions, Patent Watch will revolutionize how businesses manage and protect intellectual property.
