FAQ

The predori patent search combines the use of artificial intelligence with complete traceability of the search. This is how predori meets the special requirements of patent search documentation.

The predori artificial intelligence (AI) supports users in formulating precise and accurate queries and in reviewing the results. Users are supported by the AI, but retain control over the search.

Patent searches do not end with a list of results - these still have to be evaluated in terms of content. predori therefore maps both, the search process and the evaluation process. In both sub-processes, users are supported in their search.

Yes, you can. You can test the basic version of predori for seven days, free of charge and without obligation. All you need to do is register on our website. If you would like a more comprehensive product test with additional search types or multiple licenses, we will be happy to provide you with individual access.

predori was developed by an interdisciplinary team of trained patent attorneys, AI developers, patent searchers, product managers and engineers.

The data coverage of predori includes about 150 million patent and utility model documents. The database is updated every second with the publications and corrections of the patent offices' data.

predori offers a specialized search work flow for each patent search task. Prior art searches, patentability searches, invalidation searches, and freedom to operate searches are all possible with predori. At the same time, predori offers fielded search, patent monitoring and technology monitoring.

Highly accurate and fully documented search results are available with predori after just a few minutes (about 15 minutes). The Reason-Of-Match technology makes the review process particularly fast. User tests show that averagely complicated prior art searches are completed and ready for communication within 30 minutes.

Users are supported by the predori AI, which allows them to exclude non-matching documents at an early stage. Likewise, the accuracy is increased by the fact that predori technology fields group documents according to their technological contribution. The relations between technical features are understood in order to precisely capture the content of a search query. At the same time, the description of features is optimized by interactive synonym enrichment.

In short: With predori you find what you are looking for, not just what you have typed.

With Ultra Quick Search, the predori AI acts completely autonomously without interaction with the user. As a result, accurate search results are available in less than five minutes, but the autonomous search AI escapes monitoring, so no documentation can be created. If documentation is desired, the state of the art search type is recommended.

predori was developed in close cooperation with our users. From the beginning, wishes and suggestions were incorporated into the development. We are always happy to receive wishes, suggestions and criticism. You can use the feedback function in the sidebar of the app or simply send us an email. Already now: thank you for helping us to make predori even better.

The Reason-Of-Match technology is part of predori's artificial intelligence. Using ROM, text passages of documents that contain important information about the technical function of your search query are highlighted and put into context. This allows you to dive into the content of documents comfortably, easily and quickly without having to read much, in order to be able to evaluate them.

The different search types of predori can be executed successively within a search project. This way, you can follow the lifecycle of your product with searches from the first idea, through development and market launch, to the phase-out of your product. In this way, you prevent possible collisions at an early stage.

Patent searches are not finished when you receive the hit list. In order to extract information from hits, the hits have to be evaluated. predori accompanies you in the evaluation process after the search process until your search is really finished.

Asian patent literature has gained a lot of importance in the past decades. predori works with English-language artificial intelligence. Therefore, all patent data in the database are translated into English. Thus, Asian documents are also available in English. Likewise, these documents can also be found with the usual predori accuracy.

Currently, we do not see any way to let the AI learn from user input and user decisions. Eventually, the AI would be led over a long period of time into a training state called an echo, where the user just gets the information they already know anyway.

predori attaches great importance to data security and confidentiality. Patent searches reflect the underlying idea and development and are therefore highly sensitive data. Therefore, we do not collect or analyze the search data of our users. Your support requests concerning the content of searches will only be processed by our team after signing a confidentiality agreement.

predori can be ordered as a license. You can freely compile the search types that fit your application. We are always at your disposal!

Yes, predori offers individual training for your company. We will be happy to make you an individual offer.

Yes, we will be happy to make you an individual offer and determine the need for individual research types and licenses together with you.

Yes, predori can be reached quickly and easily by email or phone. You can additionally book our 24/7 individual support to have a personal contact person around the clock.

In patentability searches, invalidation searches and marketing searches, the results against your search query are displayed as a matrix. This allows you to see at a glance which features are contained in which documents. This makes it possible to assess novelty, inventive step and possible patent infringement at a glance.

We are convinced that AI can handle certain tasks more efficiently than a human. In the end, however, it will always be the expertise of a human that has to make the actual assessment, especially in patent searches. Through our conception of human-machine interaction, we manage to fulfill these two conditions simultaneously.

Regarding the appearance, we offer whitelabelling so that predori can be adapted to your company's corporate design. If you have individual technical requirements, such as special functions or interfaces, our development team will work out a suitable solution for you.

Experience shows that the person who knows the product best is not responsible for patent assessments. Think of a product manager and an IP manager. With predori, the product manager manages the search safely and professionally. Afterwards, the IP manager can evaluate the search results from a patent point of view in the assessment process.

We connect AI with the searcher in a specially created process that makes finding and assessing patents not only faster and easier, but also even more precise and comprehensible.
