Transformation in Patent Law Firms: Empower Business Activities and Enhance Success
In patent law, the success of an opposition or application can depend significantly on how quickly and accurately the relevant prior art is identified. Conventional search methods are often time-consuming and costly, which can lead to considerable challenges in time-critical cases. In an interview with us, Raffael Inglin from the patent law firm Schaad Balass Menzl & Partner AG explains how predoriX helped him to overcome these challenges.
Unbeatable results in incredibly fast time – – – predoriX is revolutionizing the work of patent attorneys
Challenge
The patent law firm Schaad Balass Menzl & Partner AG (SBMP) was faced with the task of challenging a patent claim at the European Patent Office that was difficult to search due to its characteristics. Reputable search service providers had not delivered the desired results. Time was of the essence and it was clear that an innovative solution was needed to find the crucial documents that might have been overlooked in a traditional search.
Solution
Mr. Inglin and his team decided to use predoriX, our AI-supported search technology. This enabled them to optimize the search process and find relevant documents in the shortest possible time. “The tool allows me to adapt the query dynamically. What I find impressive is how it opens up new perspectives on the features of the patent for the user. The interactive, dialogical nature of the tool allows us to manage the search process in an agile way, which saves a considerable amount of time and increases precision at the same time”, said Raffael Inglin. Thanks to the intuitive handling of predoriX, he was able to get started in no time at all, as he himself described: “It only took me 20 minutes to understand how predoriX works (…) and I was able to use it without support.”
Thanks to the flexible adjustment of the search parameters and the interactive nature of predoriX, Mr. Inglin was able to continuously refine the search, which not only saved valuable time, but also led to highly relevant results.

He enthusiastically described his transformed working day to us: “This delay between the order and the time I can present the first result to my client has shrunk from 2 to 3 weeks to 2 to 3 days.” And he added “(…) we found documents that we would not have found with a conventional search. And the quality of the documents we found was so convincing that we were able to immediately classify them as potentially prejudicial to novelty.” predoriX proved to be a valuable tool that not only significantly increased the efficiency but also the precision of the search – a clear added value for SBMP’s clients.
The interview concluded with the question of which three words Mr. Inglin would choose to best describe predori. His answer:
1. “Innovative
