ArcPrime vs. IPRally: Full Lifecycle IP Management vs. Stand Alone Search
IPRally searches patents. ArcPrime is the full lifecycle IPMS with an intelligence layer that searches them and then files, prosecutes, charts, and prunes them with AI. A side by side look for in house IP teams.

Key Differences
Core capabilities designed to solve your most critical IP challenges.
A Search Tool vs. a System That Searches
ArcPrime searches across prior art, patentability, landscape, and competitor monitoring, then runs the filing, prosecution, renewal, and enforcement decisions that follow on the same record. IPRally is a patent search platform and does not claim to be anything else.
Where the Result Lives
In ArcPrime a search result attaches to the disclosure, feeds the patentability assessment and detectability score, and follows the case through prosecution, renewal, and enforcement. In IPRally the result is the product, and it leaves the platform as a report.
Pre Filing Coverage
ArcPrime runs the front end: inventor self service intake, auto filled disclosure forms, detectability scoring, and committee review with e signature. IPRally's Agent produces a novelty report from a disclosure and stops there.
Post Filing Intelligence
ArcPrime generates AI office action responses with examiner analytics, prunes renewals, and builds claim charts. IPRally does not touch prosecution or renewals.
Pricing Model
ArcPrime does not charge per seat, so search is not rationed to whoever holds a license. The person running the search, the attorney making the filing decision, and the paralegal docketing the result all work from one record.
Search Depth
ArcPrime covers the prior art and patentability search an in house team runs before a filing decision, inside the system that then makes and tracks that decision. IPRally goes deeper on search alone, with explainable graph AI, relevance feedback, and trainable classifiers, for a team whose main job is search.
How to Switch from IPRally to ArcPrime
Typical Migration Timeline
Most teams go live on ArcPrime in weeks from kickoff. IPRally covers one part of what ArcPrime does, so this is rarely a like for like swap. You keep the search and gain the intake, docketing, prosecution, renewals, and charting built around it.
White Glove Migration Support
ArcPrime engineers import portfolio data from your current system, reconcile applications against USPTO records, validate family relationships, and stand up intake, prosecution, and pruning workflows from day one.

Is ArcPrime an IPRally replacement?
For most in house teams, yes. ArcPrime runs prior art search, novelty assessment from a disclosure, and competitor monitoring, then carries that work through filing, prosecution, renewals, and claim charts on the same record.
Do I need to keep IPRally if I move to ArcPrime?
No. ArcPrime covers the prior art and patentability search that sits behind a filing decision, on the record that then carries the case through prosecution and renewal.
Does ArcPrime include prior art search?
Yes. Patent search, prior art search, landscape analysis, and patentability assessment are all part of ArcPrime's Pre Filing workflow, along with detectability prediction and office action estimation.
