Webinar follow-up: Q&A on IPRally’s Image Search
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!

Introducing Image Search
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.

Patent Work Automation – Just a Dream?
From streamlining tedious tasks to accelerating decision-making, we are getting closer to realizing the vision of patent work automation.

Patent Search: Will IPRally's Technology Leap Make Boolean History?
Over the past year, the progress with IPRally's search model has been tremendous, and the trend continues with the latest Graph Transformer 3.0. Recall metrics have improved to the point where today’s recall at 10 documents matches what it was at 20 documents a year ago. If this pace of development continues, Boolean searches might soon be history. Juho Kallio, CTO and Co-founder, provides context for this progress and explains why he wouldn't teach his son to write cumbersome Boolean queries.
