Innovators at heart

In 2010, Paul Lee and Arthur Jen became fast friends at the University of Waterloo while both were studying engineering. After graduation, Paul took a deep dive into finance, working in venture capital where he gained a deep understanding of what makes companies thrive —how market leaders emerge, what drives sustainable success, and how innovation can be cultivated within organizations. Meanwhile, Arthur pursued software development, building cutting-edge products and technologies to address real-world customer needs. He was co-founder and CTO of Magic, a crypto wallet-as-a-service company used by major brands like Mattel and Macy’s.


Though their career paths diverged, both Paul and Arthur witnessed firsthand how a successful IP strategy could either fuel innovation. It was this shared insight, coupled with their passion for building businesses that create lasting value, that led to the creation of Patlytics. Their mission from day one: equip IP professionals with the most powerful tools available to drive innovation and strategic success.
