Dollars Created Breakdown
| Value Lever | Annual Value |
|---|---|
| Pruning SavingsHard-dollar savings from confidently abandoning low-value patents. At ~$700/patent/year in maintenance fees, pruning the ~10% of your portfolio identified as low-value avoids real annuity costs that would otherwise be paid out of caution. | $140,000 |
| Draft Quality SavingsSavings from AI-assisted quality checks and prior art search during drafting that reduce prosecution rework and office action cycles. Estimated at ~5% of draft fee per filing based on reduced amendment rates. | $110,000 |
| CON Recommendation SavingsSavings from automated continuation recommendations. ArcPrime cuts CON rec costs by ~50%, replacing expensive manual reviews with AI-assisted analysis. | $100,000 |
| Counter-Assertion ReadinessValue from having credible counter-assertion evidence ready before disputes escalate. When you can quickly show reads on an opponent's products, you shift settlement posture and reduce litigation spend. Based on: $2.5M avg. litigation cost x litigation probability x 35% expected cost reduction. | $87,500 |
