Madrid-based iPNOTE Raises €857k To Expand Its AI-Powered IP Management Platform

The round was led by AltaIR Capital, with support from Hi2 Venture Fund and several angel investors.

This Seed round comes amid growing investor interest in European LegalTech and AI-driven legal solutions in 2025. Startups like Denmark’s Pandektes (€2.9M) and the UK’s Augmetec (€2.4M) are advancing AI tools for research and compliance while Italy’s Lexroom (€16.2M) and Sweden’s Legora (€70.6M) are scaling generative legal platforms.

“Companies face enormous challenges when protecting their ideas globally. At iPNOTE, our mission is to remove that complexity by providing a single AI-powered interaction point that automates the annoying ping-pong with IP attorneys,” said Alex Levkin, Founder and CEO of iPNOTE. “This funding will help us bring our enterprise solution to life and prove that IP management can finally be as seamless as any modern SaaS experience.”

Amid this surge, iPNOTE stands out as one of the few Spain-based LegalTech startups focused on automating intellectual property management. Its AI-powered filing platform reflects a broader shift toward integrating AI into legal operations, positioning it strongly for growth across Europe, the UK, and the US.

“iPNOTE shows how AI can give companies comprehensive global IP coverage without the burden of hiring and coordinating hundreds of lawyers across jurisdictions. By automating the creation, protection, and maintenance of IP rights, iPNOTE saves businesses significant time and resources while making global protection finally accessible,” said Igor Ryabenkiy, Founder and Managing Partner at AltaIR Capital.

Founded in 2022 by Alex Levkin a certified patent attorney with over 13 years of IP experience, iPNOTE was created to simplify and scale the complex world of intellectual property management. After running his own IP law firm, Levkin saw how fragmented and manual global IP processes remained, inspiring him to build a unified digital solution.

In 2023, over 23 million IP applications were filed worldwide, yet managing protection across borders still requires navigating local laws, endless emails, and high costs. iPNOTE streamlines this with an all-in-one platform that automates filings, communication and tracking across jurisdictions.

At its core is an AI paralegal capable of handling up to 90% of routine IP management tasks—answering attorney queries, reviewing documents, tracking deadlines, and coordinating with global providers. When complex issues arise, they’re seamlessly escalated to human experts, ensuring both accuracy and efficiency.

“Protecting intellectual rights and promoting innovations are not mutually exclusive. The solutions are not more government initiatives but technologies from companies like iPNOTE. Our decision to invest is not only based on iPNOTE’s automated IP management systems, but also on its global coverage. iPNOTE’s clients are not only protected in the US and Europe, but also in over 100 emerging and frontier markets,” said Jerry Wang, Founder and CEO at Hi2 Global.

The company has built a SaaS platform that has already managed over 2,000 IP cases across 130+ countries, helping clients save millions in IP-related costs. Europe and the UK now represent its fastest-growing markets, with large corporations accounting for nearly half of iPNOTE’s enterprise pipeline.
