Key Differences
Unified vs. Fragmented
Clarivate's IP offering is a collection of acquisitions — Derwent for search, CPA Global for renewals, IPfolio for management. ArcPrime is one AI-powered platform purpose-built for the patent lifecycle. Less complexity, less cost, more intelligence.
AI-Native vs. AI-Added
ArcPrime was built with AI from day one. Clarivate is adding AI features to products designed before the AI era — resulting in bolted-on capabilities rather than native intelligence at every step.
Lifecycle Intelligence
ArcPrime covers Pre-Filing through Post-Issuance with AI. Clarivate's products cover different slices — search (Derwent), administration (IPfolio), renewals (CPA Global) — but none provides AI-powered lifecycle intelligence.
Patent Quality Enhancement
ArcPrime's AI proofreads drafts, generates OA responses, and scores detectability. No Clarivate product helps you file stronger patents — they focus on search and administration.
Total Cost Comparison
With Clarivate, you're subscribing to multiple products. ArcPrime is one platform with one subscription. For lifecycle management, ArcPrime typically has significantly lower total cost of ownership.
Data Consideration
Clarivate's Derwent has deep patent data and proprietary classifications. ArcPrime provides comprehensive global patent data and adds AI-powered lifecycle intelligence on top. For search-only use cases, Derwent is strong.
