Precision Despite the Flood of Patent Data – How VSP uses predori to organize research tasks
Maximilian Völkl and Dr. Johannes Siebenson are experienced German and European patent attorneys with backgrounds in mechanical engineering and physics. After years at renowned large law firms, they decided in 2024 to set new standards with their own law firm. Their goal: a state-of-the-art, digital, and sustainable firm that serves clients as an extended workbench and uses AI to increase the quality and efficiency of patent law consulting.
➔ Dialogue-based AI research – patent research reimagined
Challenge
The patent industry is faced with an immense flood of data. The number of patent documents is growing exponentially, especially in countries such as China. Researching and analyzing these documents therefore requires more and more time and resources. The challenge is to analyze the growing amount of data accurately without driving up costs for clients.
The law firm VSP was looking for a way to innovatively optimize its processes in order to respond efficiently to client needs and thus provide the best possible service. Conventional research processes are time-consuming and often inaccurate. AI-supported
Solution
The Munich-based law firm relies on predori to meet the challenges of today’s patent world. predori makes it easy to extract content and gain a quick overview of relevant documents. In addition, the use of AI opens up completely new possibilities in research. Research paths that were previously unthinkable can now be pursued, leading to impressive results. This not only reduces the amount of work involved, but also significantly increases the quality of the analyses.
“The ‘Ask Your Data’ function is particularly helpful, as it allows you to ask specific questions to individual or even multiple documents at the same time, thereby quickly extracting important information,” explained Dr. Johannes Siebenson, adding: “predori creates research opportunities that did not exist before. The results are overwhelming.”
VSP uses predori in various areas: examination reports, appeal proceedings, and even FTOs.
1. Patent search: Guided Patent Search, combined with numerous AI functions, makes it possible to easily identify the search subject, search terms, and classes in interaction with artificial intelligence. The result is highly accurate hits in a very short time, presented in a so-called “document feature matrix” – a clear overview of the relevant documents and their significant features.
2. Analysis of patent documents: With the “Ask Your Data” function, it is possible to capture relevant content in a very short time before the document is even read. The dialogue-based evaluation option produces extremely fast, highly accurate results that serve to identify relevant documents.

Outcome
The use of predori’s AI has significantly changed the way VSP works. Since then, the two patent attorneys have been able to save valuable time without compromising on quality. On the contrary: intelligent hit processing facilitates and improves evaluation, while Ask Your Data provides well-founded answers to complex questions – always with documented sources. Overall, predori has proven itself to VSP not only as a means of increasing efficiency, but also as a quality enhancer that takes their client service to the next level right from the start.
The problem of analyzing large quantities of patent documents is not new in the industry. It is a complex, time-consuming process that becomes increasingly costly as the amount of data increases. Working with predori allows research to be taken to a new level. Thanks to the ability to analyze large amounts of data quickly and accurately, clients receive not only fast but also high-quality answers to their questions. This combination of speed, precision, and new research options enables VSP to offer its clients the best possible service and provide them with optimal support in their concerns.
Key advantages include:
- Time savings: Large volumes of documents can be analyzed in a fraction of the time previously required.
- More accurate results: Precise searches with traceable documentation take service performance to a whole new level.
- Higher quality advice: Clients benefit from more comprehensive and informed advice, particularly in opposition proceedings or short-notice inquiries.
