The Best Anaqua Alternative for AI-Powered Patent Lifecycle Management
Anaqua manages patent workflows. ArcPrime re-engineers them with AI — from invention intake through portfolio management — so your team spends less, files stronger patents, and moves faster.
Why Teams Switch from Anaqua
Workflows without intelligence
Anaqua tracks docketing and deadlines, but your team still does the heavy lifting — manually filling IDFs, reviewing drafts, and making portfolio decisions without AI-driven data.
No AI at the invention stage
Inventors still fill out cumbersome disclosure forms by hand. There's no auto-fill from documents, no detectability scoring, and no AI-generated questions to improve draft quality.
Limited decision-support analytics
Basic reporting doesn't tell you which patents are worth investing in, which pending cases to abandon, or which issued patents to prune — leaving expensive decisions to gut feel.
Long, expensive implementations
Enterprise Anaqua deployments take 3–6 months and require significant customization costs before your team sees any value.

Why Choose ArcPrime
AI Invention Intake
Inventors upload documents and ArcPrime auto-fills the IDF, generates a structured summary, and creates questions for missing technical details — saving hours per disclosure.
Patent Detectability Scoring
Before you invest in a case, know the predicted art unit, detectability level, and estimated office actions. Highly detectable inventions are more valuable for enforcement.
AI Draft Proofreading
ArcPrime checks outside counsel drafts for missing claim elements and provides editing suggestions — improving patent quality before filing.
Complete Lifecycle Coverage
One platform for Pre-Filing, Post-Filing, and Post-Issuance — not just docketing. AI-powered workflows guide your team through each step of the patent lifecycle.
Built by Patent Counsel
ArcPrime was built by patent counsel who understand the step-by-step patent lifecycle — not by enterprise software teams building generic workflow tools.
Renewal Pruning Intelligence
AI analyzes patent families, highlights narrow cases with better coverage elsewhere, and recommends abandoning non-detectable cases — delivering substantial renewal fee savings.
