RPX Corporation Announces Strategic Collaboration with IPRally

SAN FRANCISCO – June 09, 2026

RPX today announced a strategic collaboration with IPRally, the proprietary AI-powered patent search engine provider, that further expands the capabilities of its RPX Empower platform. Following successful internal adoption that increased RPX’s prior art effectiveness by 40%, IPRally’s patented graph neural network technology will be cross-linked with RPX Empower, enabling seamless transitions between litigation intelligence and state-of-the-art patent searching.

This collaboration represents RPX Empower’s second strategic cross-linking, which follows RPX’s vision to establish Empower as a comprehensive platform for patent intelligence and risk management.

Proven Results Drive Collaboration

RPX’s internal patent analysis team has been using IPRally to support the company’s patent quality initiatives since 2021. The results earned IPRally approval as a vetted partner

• 42% of RPX-surfaced prior art is now used in IPR challenges by third parties, up from 30%—demonstrating high-quality reference discovery
• Average search time reduced by 1.5 hours per patent, enabling greater efficiency while maintaining rigorous quality standards

“IPRally has enabled our patent analysis team to work much more efficiently,” said Naseem Nazemi, Director, Patent Quality & Counsel at RPX. “Our average time for finding prior art per patent has decreased by 1.5 hours. Since utilizing IPRally, the percentage of RPX art being used in IPR challenges has increased from 30% to 42%, indicating the high quality of searches conducted by our patent analysts.”

“Both RPX and IPRally have very high standards and provide business-critical solutions in adjacent fields. When we had an opportunity to explore a partnership that would enhance the experience for both of our customers, it was an easy decision. Many of our users rely on IPRally for prior art and validity studies, and the litigation intelligence from RPX plugs an important gap in these processes,” said Andreas Cehlinder, Chief Commercial Officer at IPRally.

Rigorous Vetting Process

RPX only collaborates with partners whose technology has proven useful for RPX’s team of patent experts and analysts. IPRally demonstrated reliability and effectiveness on real-world prior art and invalidity searches, qualifying as an approved for cross-linking with Empower.

The cross-linked solution focuses on two key workflows:

• Invalidity Search: Users can instantly launch targeted prior art searches from RPX Empower to identify key prior art references for asserted patents
• State-of-the-Art Analysis: Subscribers can leverage IPRally’s semantic understanding and knowledge graphs for comprehensive technology landscape assessments

Seamless Workflow for RPX Empower Subscribers

For RPX Empower subscribers who also use IPRally, the cross-linking eliminates context-switching between platforms, combining RPX’s litigation intelligence with IPRally’s native AI search capabilities in a unified workflow.

“By cross-linking IPRally with Empower, we’re extending the same productivity gains our internal team has experienced to our entire subscriber base,” said Steve Chiang, Chief SaaS Officer at RPX. “Users can access vital litigation intelligence and seamlessly transition to advanced prior art searching—all without switching between disconnected tools.”

With IPRally joining Patlytics as the second cross-linked partner RPX is building an ecosystem where IP professionals can access best-in-class capabilities within a unified environment.

“We’re excited to collaborate with RPX and make our technology available to their client network,” said Andreas Cehlinder. “RPX’s rigorous vetting process aligns perfectly with our commitment to delivering reliable, explainable AI for patent searching and analysis.”

IPRally’s graph neural network is trained on millions of patent examiner citations. Instead of matching keywords, it finds results based on technical similarity. Generative AI then lets users ask questions and filter those results in plain language, narrowing to what matters for faster decisions. The platform also provides users with next generation patent analysis tools, AI search agents as well as a suite of new intelligence and classification tools to deliver answers to innovation teams.
