Key Differences
Core capabilities designed to solve your most critical IP challenges.
Different Eras, Different Approaches
Anaqua was built for patent docketing and workflow management. ArcPrime was built for AI-powered patent lifecycle intelligence. Anaqua tracks your process; ArcPrime improves it with AI at every step.
Pre-Filing Intelligence
ArcPrime auto-fills IDFs from inventor documents, scores detectability, and generates questions for missing details. Anaqua starts at docketing — after the critical invention stage is already done manually.
Patent Quality Enhancement
ArcPrime's AI proofreads outside counsel drafts and generates OA response suggestions. Anaqua manages deadlines during prosecution but doesn't touch patent quality.
Portfolio Pruning Decisions
ArcPrime's AI analyzes patent families and recommends which patents to abandon. Anaqua reports on your portfolio but doesn't provide AI-driven pruning intelligence.
Implementation & Time-to-Value
ArcPrime goes live in weeks with modern cloud architecture. Anaqua enterprise deployments typically require 3–6 months of implementation and customization.
Trademark Coverage
Both platforms support trademark management. ArcPrime adds AI-powered patent lifecycle intelligence on top, so teams managing both patents and trademarks get deeper AI capabilities without sacrificing trademark workflows.
How to Switch from Anaqua to ArcPrime
Typical Migration Timeline
Most teams go live on ArcPrime in 4–8 weeks from kickoff — versus Anaqua’s typical 3–6 month enterprise implementation.
White-Glove Migration Support
ArcPrime engineers run a white-glove migration from Anaqua, including importing docketing history, reconciling application numbers and family relationships against USPTO records, and validating data before cutover.
