Anaqua

Anaqua sells software and expert services for running patent, trademark and other IP portfolios. Docketing, prosecution, renewals and portfolio work sit on one platform, with AI used to cut down manual data entry. It serves both in-house IP departments and the law firms that act for them.

What Anaqua offers

• AI docketing — turns patent office letters, counsel emails and filings from many countries into checked docket records without re-keying.
• Portfolio management — tools for handling large IP portfolios and linking them to wider business decisions.
• Brand protection — finds and takes down online misuse of client brands, combining AI with enforcement staff.
• Collaboration — shared work between in-house teams, outside counsel and agents across the IP network.
• Law firm tools — timekeeping, billing and IP work automation, including the RightHub platform.
• Litigation risk — Unified Patents, which Anaqua acquired, helps organisations guard against IP lawsuits.
