Beyond Renewal Processing: Why Teams Move from CPA Global to ArcPrime
CPA Global handles renewals and patent administration. ArcPrime manages the entire patent lifecycle with AI — adding intelligence to every stage from invention intake to portfolio optimization.
Why Teams Switch from CPA Global
The most common obstacles IP teams face today.
Renewals-focused, not lifecycle-focused
CPA Global excels at patent renewals and annuity payments, but it doesn't help with invention intake, patent quality, prosecution strategy, or data-driven portfolio decisions.
No AI-powered decision support
CPA Global processes renewals but can't tell you which patents are worth renewing. AI-driven pruning recommendations could save you substantially on renewal fees.
Limited Pre-Filing and Post-Filing coverage
There's nothing for AI invention intake, draft proofreading, or OA response generation. The Pre-Filing and Post-Filing stages are entirely uncovered.
Integration with Clarivate ecosystem
CPA Global is now part of Clarivate, adding complexity around product direction and requiring coordination across multiple tools for full lifecycle coverage.

Why Choose ArcPrime
Core capabilities designed to solve your most critical IP challenges.
Complete Lifecycle Coverage
CPA Global covers renewals. ArcPrime covers Pre-Filing, Post-Filing, and Post-Issuance — with AI intelligence at every step. It's a fundamentally different scope.
AI Renewal Pruning
Don't just renew on autopilot. ArcPrime's AI analyzes patent families, detectability, and claim scope to recommend which patents to abandon — saving substantial renewal fees.
AI Invention Intake
Auto-fill IDFs, score detectability, predict office actions — ArcPrime covers the entire front end of the patent lifecycle that CPA Global doesn't touch.
AI Draft Proofreading
Improve patent quality before filing. AI reviews outside counsel drafts for missing elements and provides improvement suggestions.
AI OA Response Support
Generate suggested amendments and arguments during prosecution — reducing outside counsel time and improving response quality.
AI Counsel Network
Access AI-enabled outside counsel willing to work at lower cost. CPA Global processes payments; ArcPrime helps you reduce them.

Does ArcPrime process patent renewals?
ArcPrime focuses on the strategic layer: AI recommends which patents to renew and which to prune, based on family analysis, detectability, and claim scope. For payment processing, we integrate with renewal services.
What does ArcPrime do that CPA Global cannot?
ArcPrime delivers AI-powered patent lifecycle management, invention intake with auto-filled IDFs, detectability scoring, draft proofreading, OA response generation, claim charts, and AI-driven pruning recommendations. CPA Global is a renewal processing service; none of these strategic AI workflows are part of the platform.
How does ArcPrime reduce patent costs?
Three ways: AI invention intake reduces outside counsel coordination costs, AI draft proofreading improves first-time quality, and AI renewal pruning eliminates fees on patents that aren't worth maintaining.
Stronger Patents.
Better Coverage.
Lower Costs.
