Smart AI functions for efficient patent work - Part 1) AI patent search

September 8, 2025

Patent research often means finding the right keywords, synonyms and classes, searching through large amounts of data, filtering out relevant documents and maintaining an overview.
This is exactly where our patent software comes in: Withmodern AI functions The research process is not onlyfasterBut alsomore precise. Instead of laboriously working your way through lists of hits, the intelligent technology leads you more quickly to the patents that really count.
This article marks the start of our series of blog articles on the AI-supported functions of our software. In this first part, we will introduce you to key features that will make your patent search and organization noticeably more efficient.

AI full-text search - find what really matters faster


Our AI-supported full-text search not only analyzes terms, but alsoalso understands the context of the content uand thereby providesrelevant Results. You will not only find exactly matching patents, but also those that are thematically similar or functionally related. This withsignificantly less Effort.
Professional researchers can combine the AI search with the classic search. The combination of both worlds unitesTraceability and Precision.

AI sorting - relevant hits first


Whether you have a patent document, a patent number or just a technical description text - our software automatically sorts search results according to proximity of content.
This means that you first see the real Relevant Documents - independent of Keywords or Classifications.

Smart Search for similar Patents


You can now use our software to search for similar documents. The hits are displayed in a new results list - sorted by relevance, so that the most similar patents appear directly at the top.
A special feature is the possibility to Similarity scoreto be defined. The higher the score is selected, the more closely the patents found must match the selected patents. In this way, the results can be narrowed down to the really relevant property rights.
This function offers A major Advantage for analysis And filtering in Particular: Relevant Classes, Applicants orTechnology areas can be identified more quickly - and you get to the patents that really count more efficiently.

Automatic Classification - more Precision, less Effort


With our automatic Classificationsave time and increase the quality of your patent organization at the same time.
The classifier continuously optimizes itself through machine learning - so yourResults improve over time.
A particular advantage is the new option of using source and target folders separately. This allows you to use clear and unambiguous patents for training. This ensuresreliable classification of your documents.
The result: you maintain an overview at all times, reduce manual sorting work and can concentrate more on evaluating the relevant documents.

Conclusion: More efficiency through intelligent AI support!


Not every patent search has to be complicated and time-consuming. With AI-supported functions such as full-text search, automatic sorting, similarity search and classification, you can find the really relevant information faster. This leaves more time for the essentials: the targeted analysis and evaluation of relevant patent information. Here, too, we support you with intelligent AI functions.
