Alexander Stroe is a Canadian entrepreneur and the co-founder of Patent Watch, an artificial intelligence platform designed to automate the detection of patent infringement. The company was founded in 2025 alongside co-founder Andreas Stroe and is headquartered in Toronto, Ontario, Canada.[1]
Patent Watch
Patent Watch was founded by Alexander Stroe and Andreas Stroe in 2025. According to published accounts, the genesis of the company stemmed from Andreas Stroe's firsthand experience conducting research at Philips, where he was involved in filing four patents. That experience exposed the founders to the complexity and manual effort involved in monitoring patent rights and detecting potential infringement, motivating them to build a software solution to address the problem.[2]
The platform uses artificial intelligence to streamline patent infringement detection, a process that traditionally requires significant legal and technical labour. Patent Watch was accepted into Y Combinator's F25 batch, a competitive startup accelerator program, marking a notable early milestone for the company.[3] As of 2025, the company employed four people and operated out of Toronto, Ontario.[4]
