ArcPrime vs. DeepIP: Full Lifecycle IP Management vs. Stand Alone AI Drafting
DeepIP drafts and prosecutes patents. ArcPrime is the full lifecycle IPMS with an intelligence layer that manages, prosecutes, and prunes them with AI in one system. A side by side look at how the two compare for in house IP teams.

Key Differences
Core capabilities designed to solve your most critical IP challenges.
Drafting Tool vs. System of Record
ArcPrime is the IP management system, with drafting, office action responses, and search running on the same record that holds the docket and the renewals. DeepIP is an AI tool for that same work that hands the docket to a separate system.
Where the Record Lives
ArcPrime holds the docket natively, syncs USPTO legal events, and auto detects case stage from email traffic, so nothing is re keyed between tools. DeepIP runs office action deadlines through Outlook and hands the docket to a separate IPMS.
Renewal Decisions
ArcPrime predicts maintenance fees, recommends what to prune with family and redundancy analysis, and can automate payment. DeepIP does not cover renewals or annuities at all.
Pre Filing Coverage
ArcPrime runs the front end: inventor self service intake, auto filled disclosure forms, detectability scoring, patent committee management with e signature. DeepIP structures a disclosure once it exists and has no inventor portal.
Pricing Model
ArcPrime does not charge per seat. The attorney drafting, the paralegal holding the docket, and the inventor filing a disclosure all work on the same record, so nobody is left out of the system to save a license. Pricing follows the portfolio, not the headcount.
Drafting Depth
ArcPrime proofreads the draft that comes back from counsel and carries it into the prosecution, renewal, and enforcement decisions an in house team has to make next. DeepIP goes deeper on the writing itself, with drawings, Markush and sequence support, and rejection analysis, for a practice that lives in Word.
How to Switch from DeepIP to ArcPrime
Typical Migration Timeline
Most teams go live on ArcPrime in weeks from kickoff. Because DeepIP sits next to an IPMS, the move is consolidating the record and the AI into one system.
White Glove Migration Support
ArcPrime engineers handle onboarding: importing portfolio data from your current system, reconciling applications against USPTO records, validating family relationships, and standing up AI review, office action, and pruning workflows from day one.
Part of the reason we chose ArcPrime is that it is optimized for in-house counsel. The migration itself was pretty painless. Everything I had heard about moving off our old system said it would be a very painful process, and ours was quick.

Is ArcPrime a DeepIP replacement?
For most in house teams, yes. ArcPrime includes AI draft proofreading, office action response generation, and prior art search, and adds the docketing, renewals, and inventor intake DeepIP does not cover.
Do I need to keep DeepIP if I move to ArcPrime?
No. ArcPrime proofreads drafts, answers office actions with suggested amendments, and searches, all on the record that holds the docket and the renewals.
Does ArcPrime handle office action responses?
Yes. ArcPrime generates AI office action responses with suggested amendments and examiner level analytics, attached to the case in the docket.
