New quality standard in AI-supported patent searches

Patent searches are becoming increasingly complex: growing volumes of data, demanding technical issues and the need for precise results are presenting companies with ever greater challenges. With the comprehensive further development of neural search in IP7 compass, this is precisely where we come in.
By completely reprocessing the patent database using state-of-the-art AI methods, several billion AI-based representations were generated and intelligently linked with each other. As a result, both the search and the evaluation of patent information achieve a significantly higher level of quality. The result: more relevant hits, better recognized technical correlations and a more powerful basis for well-founded innovation and patent searches.
Advanced AI full-text search in IP7 compass
A central component of the further development is the modernized AI full text search in IP7 compass. It significantly improves The quality of Neural patent searches and expands The possibilities For precisely capturing and evaluating technical content.
An important advance is the broader content coverage: in addition to abstracts and claims, the full description text is now also included in the neural search. As a result, IP7 compass can analyze patent documents more comprehensively and also take into account technical details that can be decisive for the evaluation of relevant property rights.
Text can be entered in any language. IP7 compass automatically creates an AI-supported translation and then carries out the search. The translation can be checked in advance using the preview function. Research and translation take place exclusively on the IP7 servers; entered content never leaves our protected systems. For example, German invention disclosures can also be used securely for patent searches.
Three search strategies are available for the AI full-text search: Concept & Meaning focuses on the content concept of the entered text, Technical Terms on technical terms, specialist terminology and specific features. Intelligent Mix combines both approaches into a balanced overall ranking.
With these enhancements, users benefit from better hit quality, broader content coverage and a secure, multilingual search environment directly within the IP7 system.
Find similar patents even more precisely
The search for similar patents in IP7 compass has also been significantly improved and now delivers even more targeted and higher quality results.
Before the neural search is started, IP7 compass analyzes the selected patent and automatically extracts the essential technical features. On this basis, the subsequent search can be carried out in a more focused manner so that relevant patent documents are recognized more precisely and evaluated better.
Another important advance is the expanded search basis: the neural search now also takes into account the descriptive text of the patent documents. As a result, significantly more technical details are included in the similarity search, which leads to a better hit quality, especially for complex inventions.
In addition, the underlying AI search methods have been modernized and expanded. In addition to the improved content analysis, additional technical terms are now also used to further optimize the ranking of the results.
These enhancements make the search for similar patents in IP7 compass significantly more powerful. Users benefit from a more targeted search, a more comprehensive evaluation of the content and a noticeable improvement in the quality of the results.
AI Innovator provides even more precise answers to patent questions
The AI Innovator in IP7 compass has been further improved and supports users even more efficiently in analyzing large patent volumes. The system can evaluate result lists with up to 200,000 patents and answer specific questions on patents, technologies and subject areas.
Various AI functions are used: The AI Innovator identifies relevant patents within the result list, analyzes their content and uses them specifically to answer the entered question. In this way, even extensive patent landscapes can be efficiently evaluated and searched for technical correlations. or concrete solutions.
In addition, the AI Innovator benefits from the significantly improved neural search in IP7 compass. Relevant documents are recognized more reliably by modern AI-based search methods and taken into account for the analysis. An additional second AI analysis re-evaluates and optimizes the result found initially. Both results can be output so that users can transparently understand and compare the analysis.
A new large language model also ensures more precise and faster responses. The voice output can be in different languages; if no preferred language is specified, it is automatically based on the language of the input.
All work steps take place exclusively on the servers of IP7. Entered data and analysis results do not leave the system. This means that the AI Innovator meets the highest security standards, even for sensitive patent and innovation data.
More quality for demanding patent searches
With this further development, IP7 compass offers users a noticeably more powerful search environment. The improved neural search helps to find relevant patent information faster, more precisely and with higher quality content.
Whether AI full-text search, search for similar patents or AI Innovator: The optimized AI functions create a stronger basis for efficient, well-founded and future-oriented innovation and patent searches. In this way, IP7 compass sets a new quality standard in the AI-supported search of patent information.
