AI is transforming patent management, but how do you ensure a tool delivers on its promises? In this blog post, we recap the insights from Andreas Cehlinder’s recent webinar on evaluating AI tools for IP workflows.

Last week, Sakari Arvela spoke at IP Service World in Munich, sharing his insights on the impact of generative AI in the patent industry. Drawing from a recent survey of IPRally’s admin users, he explored the current state of AI adoption within IP teams, typical use cases, and future expectations surrounding AI's impact on patent processes. In this blog post, Sakari summarizes his presentation. We're moving past the initial generative AI hype and into practical implementation, he concludes in his key takeaways.

We’re thrilled to announce that IPRally has been recognized as one of the fastest-growing technology companies in Finland, securing #16 on Deloitte’s Technology Fast 50 list! This award highlights the rapid growth we’ve achieved in the past few years, and we couldn’t be prouder to be counted among Finland’s tech leaders.

Last week's Image Search webinar, hosted by Sakari Arvela and myself, was a great success with nearly 300 attendees from 27 countries. We had an incredibly engaged audience who asked about 60 questions throughout the session. While we addressed many questions during the webinar, we couldn't get to all of them. So we have compiled this Q&A to share comprehensive answers with everyone. Thank you to all who joined and made the session so interactive!

IPRally’s new feature Image Search is the first tool to combine image search with Graph AI. This practical solution allows you to find patents by simply uploading a photograph, a drawing or a product sheet. Unlike traditional image searches that rely on visual similarity, IPRally’s Image Search decodes the technical content in the image. Antti Tarvainen, Generative AI Product Manager, explains how Image Search works, its key benefits, and how it can transform how you conduct patent searches.

From streamlining tedious tasks to accelerating decision-making, we are getting closer to realizing the vision of patent work automation. Rather than removing humans from the loop entirely, the focus is on boosting work productivity, quality, and consistency of patent professionals. CPO and co-founder Sakari Arvela reflects on IPRally's achievements and future direction: “Gradually, IPRally will add AI assistants that solve parts of the process, and eventually, we’ll connect them to perform complete tasks in the value chain”, he shares in a blog post outlining IPRally’s vision.
