  ### 1. Makes searching for documents easier and more interesting

**Rating:** 5.0/5.0 stars

**Reviewed by:** Verified User in Automotive

**Reviewed Date:** June 03, 2025

**What do you like best about IPRally?**

It is easy to use and exports a result which is easy to work with. I especially like the "ask AI" function and the ability to sort based on simple yes/no questions.

**What do you dislike about IPRally?**

It cannot compare documents (yet). Sometimes it hallucinates (like all AI tools). In the end you need to verify the result.

**What problems is IPRally solving and how is that benefiting you?**

It helps me to find and analyze patent documents

  ### 2. I have used IPRally from 2019. It is the best AI driven Patent Information search tool.

**Rating:** 5.0/5.0 stars

**Reviewed by:** Verified User in Electrical/Electronic Manufacturing

**Reviewed Date:** June 30, 2025

**What do you like best about IPRally?**

Natural language use of searching and filtering hit list.

**What do you dislike about IPRally?**

Citation screening and searching is not so straight forward as other searches.

**What problems is IPRally solving and how is that benefiting you?**

I am using IPRally mostly for novelty searches. I like automating taging of patents as wwel.

  ### 3. Really good product, continuously improving

**Rating:** 4.5/5.0 stars

**Reviewed by:** Verified User in Transportation/Trucking/Railroad

**Reviewed Date:** May 30, 2025

**What do you like best about IPRally?**

Relevant documents for a first check, especially with Image search and Ask AI/Smart filters.

**What do you dislike about IPRally?**

Highlighted text rarely relevant, although Ask AI answers reference good paragraphs.
Would be nice to be able to create folders and make markings and comments in documents for specific cases/folders.

**What problems is IPRally solving and how is that benefiting you?**

Time! I do not have to rely on a Boolean search to get relevant documents in an initial search. I use IPRally as the primary tool now, although often combining it with other search tools. Really good to free text, number and image search!

  ### 4. Happy user

**Rating:** 4.5/5.0 stars

**Reviewed by:** Verified User in Electrical/Electronic Manufacturing

**Reviewed Date:** July 14, 2025

**What do you like best about IPRally?**

It is easy to use. The AI functionalities are helpful.

**What do you dislike about IPRally?**

I work in an organization, wherein not all are registered as users, then sharing information falls into same excel sheet transmission as with other tools too.

**What problems is IPRally solving and how is that benefiting you?**

The point is to activate the R&D users to actively do IP searching. For that we need easy to use and agile tool.

  ### 5. Often helpful

**Rating:** 4.0/5.0 stars

**Reviewed by:** Verified User in Automotive

**Reviewed Date:** July 16, 2025

**What do you like best about IPRally?**

AI Summaries in different lengths and languages

**What do you dislike about IPRally?**

If I ask the AI questions, I would expect the answer to be in the same language as the question. For example, sometimes it answers in English, but the question was in German. Then I have to ask again for a translation. That's annoying.

**What problems is IPRally solving and how is that benefiting you?**

See previous comment

  ### 6. Powerful tool

**Rating:** 5.0/5.0 stars

**Reviewed by:** Verified User in Oil & Energy

**Reviewed Date:** May 21, 2025

**What do you like best about IPRally?**

very useful tool and huge gain in terms of productivity when using AI chat and AI filter

**What do you dislike about IPRally?**

when importing a list to a collection not having the possibility to change the version of the patent to another member of the patent family. For example the imported patent cannot be processed on IPrally (publication not readable) but other members US, EP can be processed. This is a minor issue but would be helpful when processing a huge list

**What problems is IPRally solving and how is that benefiting you?**

gain in terms of productivity

  ### 7. Often facilitates research and increases accuracy

**Rating:** 4.5/5.0 stars

**Reviewed by:** Verified User in Mechanical or Industrial Engineering

**Reviewed Date:** May 21, 2025

**What do you like best about IPRally?**

Multiple search approaches (text, image, graph), very precise results, reduce result lists using intelligent filters

**What do you dislike about IPRally?**

There is still a considerable lack of user guidance, which traditional Boolean databases can do much better. E.g. highlighting, export/import, Boolean search (too many limitations, not flexible enough), displaying the documents exactly in the imported order, selecting which countries you prefer when viewing (DE, EP, ...). Unfortunately, I cannot do without a Boolean database.

**What problems is IPRally solving and how is that benefiting you?**

Faster searches and more accurate at the same time.

  ### 8. The ease of searching

**Rating:** 4.0/5.0 stars

**Reviewed by:** Verified User in Mechanical or Industrial Engineering

**Reviewed Date:** June 27, 2025

**What do you like best about IPRally?**

That I can provide a short description/claim as a search query

**What do you dislike about IPRally?**

I am limited in the number of results; I cannot batch process the results by asking the same questions. The sophistication/fidelity of the underlying AI model can be greatly improved

**What problems is IPRally solving and how is that benefiting you?**

It's saving me time in filtering down results from a broad selection of keywords.

  ### 9. Patent attorney

  ### 13. Couldn't live without it

**Rating:** 5.0/5.0 stars

**Reviewed by:** Allan M. | Mid-Market (51-1000 emp.)

**Reviewed Date:** August 14, 2024

**What do you like best about IPRally?**

Most of the time, IPRally surfaces spot-on prior art for a patent by just using the patent number. In the cases where it gets confused by odd claim drafting, it is easy to give it a little "help" to get it on the right track. I have to do prior art searches many times a day and IPRally is a huge time saver.

**What do you dislike about IPRally?**

Sometimes the user interface can be a little obscure, but the company is improving it all the time, and once you get used to it, it is very easy to use.

**What problems is IPRally solving and how is that benefiting you?**

I need to find out quickly how late a patent is, and IPRally gives me a very accurate view on that by looking at its top 10 results. In the case where I need to find anticipating prior art, its tools are very good at refining the search to find exactly what I need, or verifying that it doesn't exist.

  ### 19. Gamechanger!

**Rating:** 4.5/5.0 stars

**Reviewed by:** Ekrem Ayhan . | Board Member, Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.)

**Reviewed Date:** April 25, 2024

**What do you like best about IPRally?**

IPRally's search utilizes Graph AI, which goes beyond keywords to understand the relationships between concepts in patents. This can lead to more relevant results compared to traditional keyword-based searches.Unlike some AI-powered tools, IPRally offers transparency. Users can see the reasoning behind the search results, which builds confidence and allows for a deeper understanding of the retrieved patents. IPRally is known for its intuitive interface, making it easy to navigate for both patent professionals and those with less experience.IPRally is known for its intuitive interface, making it easy to navigate for both patent professionals and those with less experience.If you're a patent professional who frequently reviews large numbers of patents, IPRally's Ask AI feature could be a significant time-saver.

**What do you dislike about IPRally?**

It's not possible to share your results with an outsider. Sometimes it prioritizes the US and CN publications very much. It might lead to misleading insight in the result set.

**What problems is IPRally solving and how is that benefiting you?**

Traditional patent searches can be time-consuming,  involving sifting through vast amounts of text to find relevant patents. IPRally's AI-powered search can significantly reduce this time by using concepts and relationships  to find what you need more efficiently. Also, If you're a patent professional who regularly reviews large numbers of patents,  being able to quickly find and understand the most relevant ones can significantly improve your efficiency. This can free up time for other important tasks, such as analysis and strategy development.

  ### 20. A powerful new tool - if you know what you're doing

**Rating:** 4.5/5.0 stars

**Reviewed by:** Andreas S. | Patent Engineer, Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.)

**Reviewed Date:** June 26, 2024

**What do you like best about IPRally?**

I tested the tool for about four weeks in May 2024. Many thanks to Eduardo and John-Paul for the super friendly communication and the highly professional support. After more than 20 years as a full-time patent searcher, I see IPRally as a completely new approach to find relevant state of the art. To get the most out of it, it is definitely necessary to acquire a certain skill level. The ability to use the integrated new search methods correctly, to formulate unambiguous promts and also a more or less unconditional trust in the answers of the AI could soon replace the conventional way of patent searching. As soon as the price level for single licenses has adjusted to a level which is profitable also for small companies, I would definitely give it a try.

**What do you dislike about IPRally?**

Big challenge to compensate high licence fees for a small business.

**What problems is IPRally solving and how is that benefiting you?**

Potentially saving time during small budget novelty searches

  ### 21. Quick and good results

  ### 24. New way to search and understand patent information

**Rating:** 4.5/5.0 stars

**Reviewed by:** Verified User in Medical Devices | Enterprise (> 1000 emp.)

**Reviewed Date:** May 02, 2024

**What do you like best about IPRally?**

IPRally has a unique approach to patent searching called knowledge graph search that is highly logical and intuitive to use for anyone who is familiar with how patent claims are written. It is fast, making use of modern Graph Neural Network technology, and gives an entirely new way to find relevant patents compared to the more traditional Boolean or Proximity search approach.

More recently they have added a new function called AskAI that makes excellent use of the very latest generation of AI Large Language Model.  AskAI allows me to probe patents for hard to locate details, and to help me understand what a patent is about in seconds and minutes instead of hours- a huge time saver.

**What do you dislike about IPRally?**

There's always a bit of a learning curve when learning how to navigate a new user interface, even a well-designed one.

**What problems is IPRally solving and how is that benefiting you?**

The problem of identifying the most imporant and relevant patents for our businesses.

  ### 25. Excellent patent search tool

**Rating:** 5.0/5.0 stars

**Reviewed by:** Verified User in Legal Services | Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.)

**Reviewed Date:** September 09, 2024

**What do you like best about IPRally?**

IPRally is a great patent search tool that complements conventional patent databases. It is generally very effective for validity/opposition assessments. I especially use it to get an overview in an unfamiliar field, or as a first step in a search, and as a last step to check my results. It has become indispensable to me.

**What do you dislike about IPRally?**

It's a pity that you can't combine research stages. I couldn't use this tool alone to perform an FTO.

**What problems is IPRally solving and how is that benefiting you?**

It helps me fill in the gaps left by Boolean search tools

  ### 26. A real AI powered patent search tool!

**Rating:** 5.0/5.0 stars

**Reviewed by:** Xin L. | Intellectual Property Analyst, Enterprise (> 1000 emp.)

**Reviewed Date:** March 09, 2024

**What do you like best about IPRally?**

The most helpful feature of IPRally is its AI core, which is the best one I had used in patent search activities. It can always bring more relevant prior arts to me than other tools.

**What do you dislike about IPRally?**

Nothing so far. If need to say something, I hope IPRally can recognize languages other than English. I know it is pretty difficult...

**What problems is IPRally solving and how is that benefiting you?**

IPRally can help me find more relevant patent documents in all kind of patent searches. The most useful function is the AI search, simply speaking, users upload a short/long paragraph of technolocy description, by a simple click, the IPRally will provide a list of patents ranking from the highest relevance to the less relevance. I am pretty surprised that the tool can always understand the technology description very well, therefore the search results are good!

  ### 27. Where to start?

  ### 33. Overall impression

**Rating:** 5.0/5.0 stars

**Reviewed by:** Zdravko B. | Patent Engineer, Mid-Market (51-1000 emp.)

**Reviewed Date:** August 29, 2022

**What do you like best about IPRally?**

Best AI tool I've seen. I am an AI sceptic. Many useless use cases of AI provide more troubles than solutions. However, I find IPRally different. Should give more insights into how the results are relevant to the graph so that one can improve the graph over time. It does not replace the conventional Boolean search but enhances it.

**What do you dislike about IPRally?**

It still seems to be in development. So let's be patient and see how they go.

**What problems is IPRally solving and how is that benefiting you?**

Patent searching, prior-art, preparing new patents. I feel more comfortable when filing a patent risking the Examiner's refusal.

  ### 34. Every search has  resulted in something relevant.
