Patlytics Joins iManage Technology Partner Program to Bring Firms' Work Product into AI Patent Workflows

NEW YORK, November 10, 2026. Patlytics, the AI-native platform for the entire patent lifecycle, today announced that it has joined the iManage Technology Partner Program. The partnership adds purpose-built patent AI to the growing ecosystem of iManage AI partners, so firms can bring the work product behind a patent matter from the iManage platform straight into prosecution, litigation, and portfolio analysis in Patlytics.

"The most valuable starting point for a patent matter is often work the firm has already done: a draft application, an invalidity analysis from a related case, the technical documents a client sent over. At many of the firms we work with, that work product lives in iManage. Joining the iManage Technology Partner Program connects it to Patlytics, so every draft, office action response, and claim chart our customers build starts from the firm's institutional knowledge," said Paul Lee, Co-founder and CEO of Patlytics.

How it works

Users connect their iManage account to Patlytics once. From Patlytics My Drive, they select documents from their iManage workspaces and bring them into Patlytics. Each document is marked with its iManage origin. Once imported, documents are available across Patlytics modules, including Patent Drafting, Office Actions, Invalidity, Infringement, and FTO, as well as in Patlytics Agent. Each imported document keeps its iManage reference, so teams can always trace a file back to its matter.

What it means for patent teams

Patlytics maintains its own database of patents and non-patent literature, refreshed daily, and automatically pulls other public records like prosecution histories and cited art. With iManage connected, Patlytics now brings in the work that lives only inside the firm: the drafts, analyses, templates, and client documents a team has built up over years of matters. With iManage connected, that work enters the analysis at the start instead of being gathered by hand partway through. And because that work carries its iManage context into Patlytics, each matter builds on institutional knowledge the firm already has rather than starting from scratch.

A prosecution team responding to an office action can bring in the firm's prior responses and argument strategy from the same family. A drafting team can pull the firm's templates or an existing draft directly from the iManage platform, with no separate upload. A litigation team preparing infringement charts can pull charts the firm has already served and use Patlytics Agent to keep new charts consistent with them or have Agent review discovery documents from either side imported from iManage. A team assessing invalidity can pick up from an analysis the firm already did on a related matter.

"Firms want the freedom to choose the AI that fits their work, and patent practitioners need AI built for the depth of what they do. Patlytics brings that specialization to the content firms already manage in iManage, so IP teams can apply it across drafting, prosecution, and litigation, with iManage permissions determining what each person can bring in," said Ryan Begin, VP, Technology Partnerships & Ecosystem Strategy, iManage.

Availability

The iManage integration is available beginning November to Patlytics customers on iManage Cloud. Existing customers can reach out to their account team to get started.
