Today we're launching Smart search, our latest feature designed to respond to everyday realities and how patent professionals actually work. Smart Search accepts any combination of materials: text, images, PDFs, Microsoft Office documents, and uses AI to synthesize them into a search query representative of their technical content. This eliminates the need to manually piece together information from different sources, letting you work flexibly with whatever materials you have. Smart search is also a critical building block for the automated novelty search workflows in the forthcoming IPRally Agent.

We're excited to announce that IPRally has once again been recognized as one of Finland's fastest-growing technology companies, securing #26 on Deloitte's Technology Fast 50 list! This marks our second consecutive year earning this distinction, and we couldn't be prouder to stand among Finland's tech leaders.

The gap between AI hype and practical adoption in patent intelligence is wider than many realize. New AI capabilities emerge at breakneck speed, yet most IP professionals remain cautious or confused about how to leverage them effectively. In this post, Sakari Arvela shares insights on building trust in AI. Moving beyond abstract promises to transparent, testable solutions is essential. By launching AI capabilities in digestible chunks, building blocks for future automation, we help users build confidence step by step and demonstrate real value in patent workflows.

Patentability searches are an important step in the intellectual property protection process and a common part of the innovation journey. Traditional search methods are slow, manual, and require deep expertise. With IPRally, you can complete a professional-quality patentability search in minutes, simply by entering natural language text. In this post, we’ll guide you through the process from setup to analysis, powered by graph-based search and AI assistants..

Invalidity searches are high-stakes and deadline-driven. Traditionally, these searches involve long hours crafting Boolean strings, combing through prior art, and trying to interpret obscure disclosures. With IPRally, you can start from a publication number, and uncover novelty-destroying prior art in just minutes. In this post, we'll show you how you can conduct a complete invalidity search in IPRally.

Last week’s webinar on Projects, AI assistants, and automation sparked a lot of great engagement. While we covered many questions during the live Q&A, we couldn’t get to everything. In this blog post, Sakari Arvela follows up on the questions from the session, offering deeper insights into how to work effectively with Projects, AI assistants, and automation in IPRally. Whether you attended the webinar or are just exploring the topics now, we hope you find the answers helpful.
