A new AI model brought a significant step change (up to 27%) of search accuracy in terms of X citation recall.

Various fixes and improvements in the Classifier use workflow

Up to 300 pixel thumbnails of images are now available in the result list.

In addition to XLSX and PDF Exports, the search results are now available in DOCX format.

You can now export Excel (XLSX) files without images up to 10 000 documents at once into a single file. XLSX export with images and PDF export are still capped to 500 documents for performance reasons.

In addition to Full specification and just the Independent claims, you have now more options to choose as the starting point for the search: All claims or a dependent claim of your choice. This makes claim specific searches faster and easier.

You can now create classifiers just for your own use, without sharing it with with your colleagues.

The length of a visual tag has been capped, but you will see the whole tag name by hovering the mouse over it.

You can now import tens of thousands of documents to a collection at once, from as single spreadsheet.

The "Classifier box" has now a cleaner and more structured layout.

You can now switch automatic re-training on for any classifier. It means that every time your reject/confirm a tag predicted by that classifier, the corresponding document is added as part of the training corpus of the classifier.

When doing a publication number search, you can now choose between Invalidity search (applies a relevant date filter to results) or State of the art search (no date filter applied).

More drawings are now shown in the result list for quick review and available for further inspection in the smart image viewer.

The Custom AI Classifier module keeps growing: Accuracy metrics, quick sensitivity adjustment, automatic re-training on validating the predictions etc.

With the custom AI Classifier, your can categorize documents automatically according to your own taxonomy. The classifiers are trained with labeled (historical) data and can be applied to any fresh data (search results, monitoring results, portfolios, etc). Classifiers work together with Technology tags.

Quick dropdown menus make navigation inside IPRally easier.

Highlights are now more informative and interactive.

Several usability improvements, bugfixes and product infrastructure improvements.

The tags allow you to label patent families with your own technology labels.

In addition to the technical part names inside the images, now you have also a full list of the parts allowing for quickly scanning where a certain part is present.

The technical part names are now available in the images. In addition, there is automatic rotation of tilted images.

Export search cases and collections as handy PDF with summary of the result list and one-pager for each hit.

In-app and email notifications for when search cases and collections are shared with you, comments and documents are added, and other changes. You can change your Notification preferences in the Settings (Personal -> Notification settings)

Information about the current assignee, when available, was added to the bibliographic data of the hit and to the Excel export.

Improved database coverage with 20 new jurisdictions including Sweden, Brazil, Poland, Israel, Ireland, New Zealand.

Now you can share any search case or collection with other registered users of your company.

You can attach private and shared comments to publications. Comments are family-based: you'll see comments added to any family member at once for every other family member.

You can open documents as well as a whole search list in Orbit.

A scrollbar indicator shows where the AI and keyword highlights appear in the document or the result list.

The new Excel export includes images, abstracts, multiple sheets for search results, favorites, and better formatting.

A switch in the document browser allows you to open the images in a separate window. Switching between the documents and loading the images is quick.

When you open a hit in IPRally, you'll see:

New graph and AI model generation

See the first claim of a hit instead of the abstract in the expanded result list.

In addition to the Legal status, you can now also see the full Legal event history of a patent document.

We also added numerous possibilities to personalize IPRally to best fit your workflow and preferences. The new Settings panel can be accessed from the user profile menu at the top right corner of the screen.

With the personal settings you can:

Further, Company admin users have access to company-wide settings, where they can manage and invite the users, see the subscription status and and set company wide preferences, like the external links that the users see.​

Now you can start your search with a text describing the invention in languages different than English. The current languages supported are German, French, Spanish, Chinese, Japanese, Dutch, Danish, Finnish and Swedish. More languages to come soon!

With Collections you can:

This is the first step towards other smart features inside IPRally that allow you to add comments and other meta data to your findings, collaborate with your team, launch smart searches and more.

The current legal status of a patent and the family are now shown using a traffic-light-like system, allowing for quick scanning of the result list and with detailed information in the bibliographical data. A legal status filter helps focus the search on the requested type of data.

Improved functionality of the Keyword filter, corresponding to the NOT operator in boolean search.

The Statistics tab offers an overview about the result's CPC classes, Top assignees and inventors.

We improved the prioritization logic to show US / EP / WO / GB / AU family members in the result list instead of the translation!

We introduced an additional way of directing the AI: to search through the content of claims only, instead of the full specification. The claims search will provide more relevant results for the technology defined in the query graph from risk management or FTO perspective.

The examiner citations in invalidity search cases are shown in a separate tab, instead of at the end of the result list. If a citation is also found relevant by the AI, it appears among the search results and is indicated with the “Cited” label.

We launched an additional layer of security. All pieces of sensitive data, including full text input queries and graphs, are encrypted inside the database with encryption keys specific to your company.

We also imported the most comprehensive patent image database into IPRally and added image mosaics to the result list allowing for quick scanning of the results.

A new filter lets you limit the results to hits containing a specific keyword.

Now you can choose the maximum number of search results to be between 50 and 500.

Also, we added Video tutorials to the Help center.

We added a Keyword highlighting feature to help you scan results more quickly and find what you need.

CPC classes are the newest filter of the results and you'll see them also in the document view, provided a hit has them.

The Excel Export includes abstracts and all dates (priority, application & publication).

Filter the results by inventor's name.

Negative filters

The possibility to exclude fields in the different search filters (NOT filters) for IPC classes, Applicant, Inventor and jurisdiction.

Filtering based on priority date, application date, and publication date is now available.

On the features side, iterative AI searching is possible since a while, but now you can assist the AI even more efficiently by telling it the publications you already know as being relevant. This helps the AI to get on the right track and to improve the search results very quickly!

Now you can set up e-mail reports for your monitored search casesto go straight to your e-mail on weekly, monthly or quarterly basis! You can also now download these new results as a separate excel file.

We worked on the reported loading time issues and now loading the front page images is faster in the result list!

A new AI model was launched, increasing the search and AI highlighting accuracy once again.

New generation machine translations are now available in the advanced document browser, which will soon replace the Google patents link.

Last but not least, we added tooltips over various functionalities to make it easier for you to use the full capacity of IPRally! Just hover with the mouse of them to see what they do.

The drawings can now be found in the document view, behind the three stripes button. First, you'll see all the figures as thumbnails. Clicking enlarges a full figure viewer next to the specification.

The full document view is under construction and will soon replace the Google patents links as the primary way of opening the documents.

Front page figures are now available in the expanded result list view, just by the abstracts.

Downloading the original PDFs is also possible in the ACTIONS sections of the expanded view.

The Favorites heart symbol was moved to the left side of the result list, below the rhombus icon, which keeps track of tracks if the document has already been viewed.

Viewed documents handling: A blue rhombus symbol in front of the hit turns to white when you open a document for inspection. By clicking the symbol you can easily change the state of the document. You can also easily hide documents already viewed.

Graph panel hiding: To get more space for the result list, you can now hide the graph at the left hand side of the screen.

No-trace mode: For some companies, it is important not to leave any trace of which documents have popped up or viewed in searches. Admin users can find the setting "Allow saving search results" on the Company Admin page. Saving is allowed by default.
