In this episode, John Paul Keeler and Carl Osterlof speak with Alessandro Cossu, an Italian patent attorney and former EPO examiner who is optimistic about AI, as long as humans stay firmly in control. With 15 years at the EPO and now extensive experience in oppositions, he offers a rare view of how AI is beginning to shape litigation. Alessandro believes AI can be a “game changer,” but only for l...

In this episode of RallyCast, hosts JP Keeler and Carl Osterlof engage with guest Bo Heiden to explore the multifaceted world of intellectual property (IP) and its critical role in the knowledge economy. The conversation delves into the need for businesses to view IP as a profit center rather than a cost center, the challenges of bridging the gap between IP and business understanding, and the impl...

In this RallyCast episode, John Paul Keeler and Carl Osterlof sit down with Sean Clark, Vice President of Media Licensing at Adeia, to discuss copyright in the AI era. Drawing from two decades of experience in media licensing, Sean explores how "efficient infringement" strategies employed by AI companies echo the early days of digital piracy, but with far broader implications for creators. Twenty...

What if we told you in 2014 that patent data would soon be powering C-suite decisions across every industry? In this reflective RallyCast episode, John-Paul Keeler is joined by co-host Carl Osterlof and Ocean Tomo's Sam Wiley to explore how dramatically the patent intelligence landscape has transformed over the past decade, why the future we imagined is already here, and how the future we anticipa...

Since current intellectual property laws are ill-equipped to protect neural network architectures and training algorithms, there’s a growing number of companies increasingly relying on trade secrets. But is this for the best? Many people argue that this undermines transparency and contradicts the patent system’s fundamental purpose of encouraging technological disclosure, and the lack of transpare...

How can transparent systems enhance user trust, optimize operations, and even prevent harm in real-world applications? We kick off the second season of RallyCast with a topic that’s at the heart of everything we do – AI transparency, which has been crucial for us in building trust since IPRally was founded in 2018. In this episode, host John Paul Keeler is joined by two expert guests: Josh Wert fr...

In this episode, John Paul Keeler invites IPRally's co-founders Juho Kallio and Juuso Piskonen to talk about the history of IPRally and how the first ideas took form at a co-founder networking event in Helsinki seven years ago. Learn about the nature of patent data, the difference between Graph AI and LLM, what IPRay is and what it means for speed and cost efficiency in IPRally's development. And...

Amidst economic constraints, industry convergence, and the need for improved patent quality, patent workflows demand a paradigm shift to meet the evolving landscape. The current macro environment combined with the increasing maturity of AI initiatives opens up a unique window of opportunity to explore and take advantage of these innovative solutions. In the second episode of RallyCast, John Paul K...

Artificial intelligence has integrated into an expanding array of workflows over the last 18 months, and the realm of IP is no exception. AI opens up countless new possibilities when it comes to streamlining your patent work, some of them more obvious than others. Which ones of them will have the most impact? In this inaugural episode, Sakari and John Paul dig deeper into the patent AI use cases c...
