Document-level relation extraction (DocRE) requires integrating scattered evidence to uncover challenging implicit relations. While recent LLM-based approaches leverage rich prior knowledge for relation prediction, they suffer from two limitations. Pipeline-based approaches cause irrecoverable candidate pruning, and the absence of explicit logical constraints leaves spurious over-prediction unsuppressed. To address this, we propose Gated Logical-rule INTernalization (GLINT), a novel DocRE framework that integrates an LLM with end-to-end inductive rule reasoning within a fully differentiable architecture. GLINT preserves per-pair signals across all entity pairs through a Fused Fact Tensor with Gumbel-softmax selection, and refines LLM predictions via an inductive rule reasoner with per-atom learnable negation gates. Extensive experiments on three benchmark datasets show that GLINT outperforms existing LLM-based baselines.
