Answers to the most common questions about what ArcPrime's AI can do, how it handles your data, and what to expect from AI-generated outputs.

AI is embedded across the platform. Key AI-powered features include prior art search, office action response recommendations, patent quality scoring, detectability predictions, pruning analysis, continuation recommendations, draft proofreading, claim charting, deep research, and the AI assistant. Each feature identifies what the AI produces and what you should review before acting on it.

ArcPrime's AI analyzes patents, disclosures, and prior art to surface recommendations, identify risks, and draft structured outputs. It suggests response strategies for office actions, highlights patents that may be candidates for pruning, scores patent strength, and identifies continuation opportunities. It handles the analytical heavy lifting so you can focus on decisions.

ArcPrime's AI does not make final decisions on your behalf. It does not file documents, submit responses, or take any irreversible action without your explicit approval. It recommends, suggests, and highlights — the final judgment always stays with you.

AI outputs are designed to be thorough and well-sourced, but they are not a substitute for professional judgment. Prior art results include citations so you can verify references directly. Office action recommendations include the reasoning behind each strategy. Always review AI outputs before finalizing any work product.

No. Your data is never used to train AI models. AI features process your data only to generate results within your workspace. See the Security and Privacy FAQ for more details on data handling.

Be specific in your questions. Include patent numbers, claim numbers, or technology areas when asking the AI assistant for analysis. The more context you provide, the more targeted and useful the output. See Best Practices for AI Features for detailed recommendations.

Lighter AI features like the AI assistant and draft proofreading return results within seconds. More complex analyses like office action response generation may take several minutes. Deep research and full prior art searches can take several hours depending on portfolio size and scope. A progress indicator shows the current status while any analysis runs.
