Global patent coverage at your fingertips

Upon updating our database with millions of new documents, we expanded the filtering options with the new data sources so that you find faster the patent literature you are looking for. The database covers by now (May 2020) 75 million patents and patent applications.

Upon updating our database with millions of new documents, we expanded the filtering options with the new data sources so that you find faster the patent literature you are looking for. The database covers by now (May 2020) 75 million patents and patent applications. 

The biggest patent databases (US, European Patent Office (EP), WIPO (WO), China, Japan and Korea) are immediately visible among the filters. 

The filtering options in the IPRally's app

But these are not all data sources. From now on, you can search for publications from the offices of:

  • Austria (AT)
  • Australia (AU)
  • Belgium (BE)
  • Canada (CA)
  • Switzerland (CH)
  • Czech Republic (CZ)
  • Former East Germany (DD)
  • Germany (DE)
  • Denmark (DK)
  • Spain (ES)
  • Finland (FI)
  • France (FR)
  • Great Britain (GB)
  • India (IN)
  • Luxemburg (LU)
  • Netherlands (NL)
  • Russia (RU)
  • Slovakia (SK)
  • And last but not least, the Soviet Union (SU)

All non-English documents are machine translated into English and searchable within IPRally.

By default, all data sources are used for the initial search. The new functionality allows us a new way of filtering the results requested by many of our users: the possibility to exclude publications from certain countries. In the example below, you’ll search in all data sources except China, Japan and Korea:

In the future, we will be covering also smaller patent data sources and non-patent literature. Stay tuned for the development of IPRally!

When systems start talking: IPRally's journey toward a virtual IP department

Something new is happening: people talk to systems in plain language, systems talk back, and systems have started talking to each other the same way. As AI climbs from the small decisions to the large ones, the question for IP work is no longer whether it gets automated, but how to stay in control once it is. Co-founder and CPO, Sakari Arvela, lays out where this leads – through IPRally's new API and upcoming MCP support toward a virtual IP department that's always on – and why humans end up more important in that picture, not less.

Search, Intelligence, Protection: the three pillars of IPRally’s next chapter

For nearly a decade IPRally has been obsessed with getting one task right: patent search. Having built the best patent search in the world, we’re now reorganizing around three pillars – Search, Intelligence, and Protection – the newest of which makes drafting prior-art-aware from the first sentence. Co-founder and CPO Sakari Arvela maps out the next chapter, and why Protection is the shift he's most personally invested in.

NGen selects IPRally to bring AI-native patent intelligence to Canada's advanced manufacturers

Macro meets micro: IPRally's next chapter builds intelligence on search

Excellence in patent search was always the foundation. But foundations are meant to be built on. After years of staying focused – and saying no to a lot – IPRally is now ready to bring the same rigor and precision that redefined search to the bigger, strategic questions that businesses make decisions on. CCO Andreas Cehlinder explains why now, and what comes next.

What does quality actually mean for automated patent search?

When agentic AI tools entered the patent search market, quality became the topic everyone wanted to talk about, and one of the hardest to discuss honestly. Impressive-looking outputs are easy to generate, but outputs you can actually trust take a different kind of work. IPRally's co-founder and CPO Sakari Arvela breaks down what quality means for Agent, and shares the data behind that claim.
