ArcPrime for Small IP Teams
Your 3-person team shouldn't feel like a 3-person team. ArcPrime gives lean IP groups the tools, automation, and AI analysis to operate like a full patent department — prosecution, portfolio strategy, inventor engagement, and enforcement prep — without adding headcount.
Common Challenges
Wearing every hat
Prosecution, portfolio strategy, inventor relations, licensing, enforcement prep — a large department splits these across specialists. Your team does it all, and something always falls through the cracks.
Too many disclosures, too few people
Twenty invention disclosures a month with a handful of people means triage, not strategy. Quality suffers when volume overwhelms capacity.
No capacity for proactive strategy
When every hour goes to keeping the lights on — docketing, renewals, outside counsel management — there is no time left for continuation planning, competitive analysis, or portfolio optimization.
Tools built for big departments
Legacy IPMS platforms assume dedicated admins, paralegals, and IP ops staff. Your team needs power without the overhead.
Key Features
Full-Stack Patent Operations
Prosecution tracking, portfolio analysis, inventor engagement, and enforcement prep in one platform. Your team covers every function a large department does — without the headcount.
AI Portfolio Strategist
AI continuously analyzes your portfolio for pruning candidates, continuation opportunities, coverage gaps, and competitive positioning. Strategic work that used to require outside counsel happens automatically.
Automated Invention Intake
Inventors submit disclosures through a self-service portal. AI auto-fills IDFs and creates structured summaries so your team reviews instead of transcribes.
Prosecution & Workflow Automation
Auto-detect case stages from email traffic, collect inventor signatures, track deadlines, and manage outside counsel — no dedicated paralegal needed.
Claim Charting & Enforcement Prep
AI generates evidence-of-use mappings and claim charts so your team can evaluate enforcement opportunities without outsourcing the analysis.
Inventor Engagement Portal
Inventors check submission status, see their awards, and get prompted for new disclosures. Keeps your innovation pipeline active without your team chasing people down.
How It Works
Import & Organize
Connect your portfolio data. ArcPrime ingests patent records and auto-categorizes assets by technology, family, and status — your entire portfolio organized in hours, not weeks.
AI Runs Your Back Office
Detectability scoring, pruning analysis, continuation recommendations, and coverage gap identification run overnight. Your team wakes up to actionable insights.
Make the Calls That Matter
Review AI-surfaced priorities: patents to prune, continuations to file, claims to strengthen, enforcement opportunities to pursue. Your judgment, amplified by AI analysis.
Automate Everything Else
Invention intake, inventor engagement, signature collection, deadline tracking, outside counsel management, and leadership reporting run on autopilot.
