The Best IPfolio Alternative for IP Teams
IPfolio handles patent administration. ArcPrime re-engineers the entire patent lifecycle with AI — so your team makes better decisions, files stronger patents, and cuts costs.
Why Teams Switch from IPfolio
Administration without intelligence
IPfolio tracks your patents, but it doesn't help you decide which inventions to invest in, which drafts need work, or which patents to prune. It's a record system, not a decision system.
No AI-powered workflows
Your team still manually fills IDFs, manually reviews OC drafts, and manually decides which patents to renew — the same processes AI can transform.
Ownership uncertainty
IPfolio has changed hands between CPA Global and Clarivate, creating uncertainty around product direction and long-term investment in the platform.
Basic analytics
Standard reporting and dashboards don't provide the AI-driven insights needed to reduce outside counsel costs, improve patent quality, or identify high-value enforcement targets.

Why Choose ArcPrime
AI Invention Intake
Auto-fill IDFs from inventor documents, generate structured invention summaries, and surface questions for missing technical details — all before outside counsel is engaged.
Detectability Before Investment
Know whether a patent will be detectable and enforceable before you spend on drafting. Predict art unit, detectability, and number of office actions.
AI Draft Proofreading
Don't rely on outside counsel to catch missing claim elements. ArcPrime's AI reviews drafts and provides specific improvement suggestions.
Lifecycle Intelligence
Go beyond patent tracking. ArcPrime adds AI-powered intelligence to Pre-Filing, Post-Filing, and Post-Issuance stages so every decision is data-driven.
AI OA Response Support
Generate suggested amendments and arguments based on patent history and prior art — speeding up the response process and improving argument quality.
Inventor Self-Service
Inventors check their own submission and awards status at any time, eliminating constant questions to in-house counsel and keeping inventors engaged.
