What it is

AcclaimIP helps corporate IP teams, law firms, and other IP professionals search patent information, analyze portfolios, and prepare reports for legal, strategic, and business decisions. It covers more than 175 million patent documents from 106 patenting jurisdictions, with an average of over 170,000 additions each week. Teams can use it for prior-art searches, technology landscape reviews, competitor monitoring, and contextual analysis of search results. Portfolio tools support assessment of patent strength, coverage, and competitive position for filing, prosecution, portfolio review, licensing, and enforcement. Visual outputs can be shared with stakeholders. AcclaimIP runs in a standard web browser, within a single browser tab, and is available as a standalone subscription or integrated with Anaqua platforms including AQX and PATTSY WAVE. Searcher, Practitioner, and Analyst access levels offer different capabilities; Practitioner adds USPTO file-wrapper access, while Analyst adds analytics and private-data tools. Custom fields require a paid add-on, and API use requires an additional license and customer programming work. Pricing is on request; licensing is annual, prepaid, and per seat.
