Business Consultant

Our software and services help corporations and law firms gain a true competitive advantage from their intellectual property. Over fifteen years ago IP leaders from Ford Motor Company and British American Tobacco identified an important gap within enterprise software solutions. Managing IP with patchworks of commercial and homegrown systems left them with unreliable data that increased their costs and exposed them to risk. They took matters into their own hands by collaborating on a new web-based, unified system for intellectual property – a comprehensive software platform capable of managing and automating the full IP lifecycle of patents, trademarks, designs, trade secrets and contracts. That collaboration was the beginning of Anaqua – the world’s first web-based unified platform for intellectual property. 

From the start, our technology leadership and product innovation has been driven by our customers. Today, Anaqua’s AQX software is used by over a million IP executives, attorneys, paralegals and administrators in corporations and law firms all over the world. Many of the best-known brands and most innovative products were conceptualized, evaluated, protected and monetized through the AQX software platform. 

Over the years, Anaqua has grown exponentially through the merger with Lecorpio, a leading IP management software solutions company, acquisition with ideaPoint, an innovation management solution provider, AcclaimIP, the industry-leading patent analytics software solution and PATTSY WAVE, an IP management software and practice automation provider. 

In February 2021, Anaqua acquired global IP cost estimating software provider Quantify IP. On the heels of PATTSY WAVE, the acquisition continues the acceleration of Anaqua’s law firm growth strategy and supports the company’s commitment to delivering IP solutions that address the diversified and evolving needs of today’s IP management market.  

Quantify IP’s products Global IP Estimator® and Portfolio Estimator are best-in-class solutions and Anaqua will invest in these solutions as distinct offerings and will also identify strategic opportunities for integration and enhancement that best complement and optimize Anaqua’s suite of offerings.   

As we continue to grow our portfolio of next-generation IP solutions, as well as, our global customer base, Anaqua will support an increasing number of innovators in an increasing number of ways, helping them improve lives across the world.
