About DeepIP

At DeepIP, our vision is to build the AI operating system for IP practitioners. Intellectual Property is not just legal paperwork—it’s a company’s strategic DNA. Yet today’s patent professionals are drowning in inefficient processes, outdated tools, and mountains of prior art.

We are building AI-powered assistants to radically transform the practice of IP: from drafting patents, to prosecution, and to searching prior art. Our products empower IP professionals to focus on strategy and creativity while AI handles the complexity.

2025 is just the beginning — we’re growing faster than ever and looking for bold, passionate people to join the ride. If you thrive in a fast-paced, flexible environment where every challenge sparks growth, come build the future with us. 🌟
