IPRally

“IPRally has enabled our patent analysis team to work much more effectively and efficiently. The results are actually quite amazing.”

““IPRally saves me time, my sanity, and the endless scrolling through irrelevant hits,” Anna concludes. “The search results are fewer and of higher quality, and the AI assistants make the review a lot easier. Projects that used to take days now take hours. It's like having a patent-savvy co-pilot that actually enjoys the heavy lifting.””

“The speed makes getting started with search projects much easier. Before we used IPRally I could spend months on searching prior art in cases where we needed a really high confidence level. Now we get the first hits and an overview of the prior art really quick, and it takes a few hours to filter the good ones out. So, we free up a lot of time. With IPRally we can focus more on the material aspects of the results and less on the actual search process. IPRally is the tool if you’re looking for the silver bullet in prior art search.”

“Our prior art searches related to FTO investigations have improved drastically with IPRally. It’s safe to say that IPRally has reduced the time we spend on prior art searches by well over 50%.”

“With IPRally we can focus more on the material aspects of the results and less on the actual search process.”

“I've been really pleasantly surprised by how we work together. When you're working to deadlines and exploring new features, that kind of support is really valuable.”

“Before we had this, the scientists would get an email with the weekly alerts and each person would look through everything themselves," Kate explains. "Now they can come in and just view the records tagged to their area. It has grown from there and now they're using that data in their competitor analysis.”

“The first time I used Agent, it produced a novelty chart in around ten minutes. That was a genuine wow moment.‍”

““The most critical patent showed up only through the image search,” Anna recalls. “It bypassed all the terminology mismatches. This particular search was outsourced as well and the external partners did not find it either – they were actually quite interested to know how we found it. We were fortunate to discover it early in the project, which allowed us to guide the R&D and avoid any issues.””

““When you're doing searches you always have that uncertainty in the back of your mind and you wonder if you really managed to catch everything. I think every patent attorney can relate to this. But with IPRally I feel more confident in the results because you can combine different search methods within a project”, she says.”

“It’s like a reference book that Attorneys can have next to them. It is very easy to get search results from IPRally. The overall wait for Analysts to return a search is reduced and the quality of requests are improved. So as a group, we’re saving time. In conventional search tools, even if it’s just a quick search, you need to know which field to use, the order of the keywords and the operators. None of that’s required with IPRally”

“In conventional search tools, even if it’s a quick search, you need to know which field to use, the order of the keywords and the operators. None of that’s required with IPRally.”

“Our prior art searches related to FTO investigations have improved drastically with IPRally. It’s safe to say that IPRally has reduced the time we spend on prior art searches by well over 50%. Usually, we get almost every important hit within the top 200 search results. A broad initial query in our boolean tool would generate about 80% noise, and that’s certainly not the case with IPRally.”

“Our goal is not just to file patents, but to bring innovations to life in the market. IPRally gives us more time to focus on that core task.”

“Today, we feel much more certain that we have a solid overview of the landscape.”

“Now our gut feeling is much better. We are more confident that the search is complete and that we have identified what is really out there.”

“In the review process, it really helps to have the Ask AI feature because then you can actually have a discussion with the tool and find out if the key features of the invention are present or not. That is really a game-changer.”

““IPRally delivers everything a patent or R&D professional needs. All the information is there, it’s easy to use, and the integrated AI assistants are always ready to refine the search input and answer any questions about the search results. We’ve already doubled our number of users, and I don’t think we’ve hit the ceiling yet.””

““Sometimes, relevant prior art doesn’t use the expected terminology, and it might come from a completely different domain. Even when we outsource searches, we use IPRally to bring in a different way of thinking. In opposition cases, we’ve discovered killer prior art that our external partners didn't find. We used to fully rely on what our partners delivered, but that’s changed”, says Noora and continues:”

““IPRally has also sparked new conversations internally,” says Noora. “Now that it’s easy to see what others are patenting, more people are coming forward with ideas and exploring their patent potential. The R&D team can quickly assess if something is worth filing – or even patentable at all.””

““We tested several solutions, running extended evaluations for a few selected tools,” explains Noora Ristolainen, IPR director at Metsä Group. “We evaluated them based on usability, accuracy, and whether they produced reliable, non-hallucinated results. In the end, we voted, and IPRally came out on top. It was an easy decision.””

““IPRally also offers the ability to share what we are working on with the law firms. When you look at the overall performance, we lose approximately 10% of filed inventions because of prior art, i.e. novelty or inventive step. And we spend three hours per search compared to a day and a half. To put it shortly, IPRally brings us value.””

““The quality of search results gives us the opportunity to write claims around the prior art in an early phase. This is of course very valuable””

““We see very good search results with IPRally. Melexis is usually filing the priority in Europe and after eight months we get the search report with the prior art that the examiner has found. I can only speak for our technical field, but we see 30-50% of the prior art we found with IPRally showing up again in these search reports.””

““Thanks to IPRally we now spend three hours per search compared to a day and a half.””
