Deep research identifies companies, products, and documents that may practice your patented technology. Use it to assess patent strength, prioritize enforcement, screen your portfolio against a document, and inform continuation strategy.
Key Capabilities
Product discovery — ArcPrime finds products from tracked companies, untracked companies, and your own product line that may practice your claims.
Claim charts and concept charts — For each product, ArcPrime maps claim elements to public evidence. Concept charts add a faster, higher-level view.
Chart scores — Every chart carries a 0 to 100 score alongside its High, Medium, or Low label. Two High charts no longer look alike.
Crucial elements — Each report names the point of novelty, anchored to the exact claim language.
Revenue intelligence — Where available, ArcPrime shows estimated annual revenue for companies and products.
Library document analysis — Analyze documents from your library instead of, or alongside, public web research.
Continuation targeting — Results flow into continuation recommendations, which draft claims against the products you select.
How It Works
Open a patent and scroll to the Strategy section. Click Deep Research to open the configuration window. Once a run exists, that button reads Do More Deep Research. You choose your targets (untracked companies, tracked companies, your own products, or library documents), whether to add concept charts, and a research model. The window states that a run may take 4-8 hours.
The analysis runs in the background. ArcPrime emails you when it completes and shows the run's status in the Deep Research summary card. Click Go to Report to open the full report, which lists product owners, untracked companies, and your own products in separate tables.
Each table row names that company's products, its estimated revenue, and a chart badge per fidelity level with its score. Click a badge to open the claim chart with element-by-element evidence. Reports on expired patents show a banner and are excluded from readiness statistics.
Quick Research When You Need a Fast Answer
Sometimes you only want to know what a claim reads on. Quick Research runs from the same Strategy section or from the pruning candidates table, takes minutes, and returns cited product matches without a full chart. Deep research remains the tool for answers that have to hold up.

Getting Started

Tip: Add your key competitors as tracked companies before running deep research. Tracked companies appear first in the report as product owners, so your most relevant results are the first you see.
