Case Study: Ypsomed reduces FTO search time by 50% with IPRally

How Ypsomed spends 50% less time on FTO studies thanks to IPRally

Ypsomed, a Swiss company specializing in injection systems for self-medication, faced a significant challenge in managing Freedom to Operate (FTO) studies. The crowded medical technology field meant their patent team spent over a third of their time on prior art searches, which were excessively time-consuming and generated too much noise using their traditional boolean search tool. They sought a more efficient solution and turned to vendor IPRally for its AI-powered patent search capabilities.

By implementing IPRally, Ypsomed's patent team drastically improved their search process. The solution provided faster access to relevant prior art with substantially reduced noise, allowing them to focus on analyzing results rather than the search itself. This led to a measurable impact, with IPRally reducing the time Ypsomed spent on FTO-related prior art searches by over 50%.
