Global search gives you one place to find anything in your portfolio. Enter a keyword, docket number, application number, or patent number and ArcPrime returns matching results across all your patent families. Combined with powerful filters, global search helps you locate the exact record you need in seconds.

Key Capabilities
Full-text keyword search — Search across patent titles, abstracts, claims, docket numbers, application numbers, publication numbers, and patent numbers. ArcPrime matches partial terms and returns results ranked by relevance.
Autocomplete suggestions — As you type in the search bar, ArcPrime suggests matching patents and disclosures so you can navigate directly without waiting for full results.
Advanced filtering — Narrow results by status, country, category, assignee, labels, detectability, filing date, grant date, creation date, or updated date. Combine multiple filters to pinpoint exactly what you need.
Sortable results — Sort search results by internal ID, quality score, detectability, filing date, grant date, labels, creation date, or updated date in ascending or descending order.
Customizable columns — Show, hide, and reorder the columns displayed in your search results. Your preferences persist across sessions.
CSV export — Export your filtered search results to a spreadsheet for reporting or offline analysis.
How It Works
Open Patents from the sidebar and enter your search term in the search bar at the top of the page. ArcPrime searches across your entire portfolio and displays matching patent families in a table. Each row represents a patent family, and you can click any row to open the patent detail view.
Above the results table, the Filter button opens a panel where you can apply additional criteria. A badge on the filter button shows how many filters are active. Results update in real time as you add or remove filters, change sort order, or refine your search term.
At the bottom of the table, pagination controls and a count of total matching families help you navigate large result sets.
