The Best IP Pilot Alternative for Patent Lifecycle Management
IP Pilot monitors your patent portfolio. ArcPrime manages the entire lifecycle with AI — from invention intake and detectability scoring through prosecution and portfolio optimization.
Why Teams Switch from IP Pilot
Monitoring without management
IP Pilot tracks patent portfolio status, but it doesn't help you process inventions, improve draft quality, support prosecution, or make data-driven pruning decisions.
No AI-powered workflows
Without AI, your team still manually fills IDFs, reviews drafts, and decides what to renew. IP Pilot provides views, not intelligence.
Limited scope for large teams
IP Pilot works for basic portfolio tracking, but IP teams at companies with 500+ patents need lifecycle management — not just a portfolio dashboard.
No inventor-facing tools
Inventors can't self-serve for submission status or awards. In-house counsel fields constant questions about where cases stand.

Why Choose ArcPrime
Complete Lifecycle Management
Go beyond portfolio monitoring. ArcPrime manages Pre-Filing, Post-Filing, and Post-Issuance with AI workflows at every stage.
AI Invention Intake
Auto-fill IDFs from inventor documents, score detectability, and generate questions for missing details — automating the front end of patenting.
Inventor Self-Service
Inventors check their own submission and awards status. This eliminates admin burden on in-house counsel and keeps inventors engaged.
Patent Committee Management
Manage decision-making and voting for patent committees. Formalize your filing decision process with structured workflows.
AI Draft Proofreading
AI reviews outside counsel drafts for missing claim elements — improving patent quality without adding headcount.
Renewal Pruning Intelligence
AI analyzes patent families and recommends which patents to abandon. IP Pilot tracks what you have; ArcPrime tells you what to keep.
