What do you dislike about AQX?

there is only one thing I dislike is when we upload more than four documents it takes time a bit more but when we are going to use copy then we have to add all the application id together and while coping it takes to match times. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering AQX:

Strongly recommend for IP industry Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is AQX solving and how is that benefiting you?

I am using this to verify the application id and patent number and also upload documents and recheck the filling date, and frame date I am also adding the company assignee. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about AQX?

Because it does it all, there are MANY things to learn. After a year I am STILL learning. Love that they updated their training system from ACE and now have easy to follow videos. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is AQX solving and how is that benefiting you?

We now have an overall look at our entire portfolio and can make more informed decisions. We were also able to take things in-house. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about AQX?

Anaqua's software is excellent in all of our docketing needs. However, where Anaqua really excels is its excellent customer service; with knowledgeable people always just a phone call away with any issues you may have. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about AQX?

The only downside of Anaqua, if you call it that, is that it can be expensive. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is AQX solving and how is that benefiting you?

We were looking to upgrade our docketing software to have more robust features, including managing our invention records and patent records, as well as managing our trademarks. Anaqua was able to check all those boxes seamlessly for us. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about AQX?

Anaqua's products are outstanding, but their support and investment in those products are what sets them apart from other vendors. I feel they are a leader in that area. They engage with their clients and listen to their needs. Anaqua does a really good job of implementing improvements based on that feedback in their upgrades and product development. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about AQX?

Like all other products in the industry, there are areas of improvement needed. Most notably, document workflow. This is an area that could use attention. Additionally, it is important to add better support for patent and trademark enforcement matters in their docketing systems. The current support is lacking in providing support for enforcement matters filed in countries other than the United States. The current support for US enforcement matters, also, needs additional improvement. I have brought this to Anaqua's attention and understand that they are working on some enhancements so I will reserve further critique until those enhancements roll out. Finally, it would be nice to see trademark monitoring and watch service support integrated into their PATTSY platform. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is AQX solving and how is that benefiting you?

We currently use a couple of products, PATTSY and Global IP Estimator, which assist our teams with managing their dockets and providing our clients with estimates. Both are good products and ensure quality and efficiency. We are looking at other products and add-ons to better support those functions. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Response from Nancy Hegarty of AQX

Sergio,

You are an important member of our client community and we will work hard to incorporate your feedback. I have shared your thoughts with our Product, Professional Services and Customer Success teams.

Thank you,

What do you like best about AQX?

The platform offers a lot of customizability for report-generating, and has a good layout that helps make reviewing large portfolios a quick process. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about AQX?

Some features tend to be more hidden away--while they have the potential to be useful, that's only if users can find them. A written guide that outlines the various functions would be helpful, especially for larger teams. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is AQX solving and how is that benefiting you?

Speaking largely from a trademark perspective, the platform has been a great way to store data in a centralized way. Related records can be linked in meaningful ways, documents made easily accessible, etc. Used correctly, this is a wonderful asset. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about AQX?

For inhouse intellectual property departments in industrial companies. It is one of the indispensable solutions. Distinctive features:

- Every detail has been considered for departments with a large intellectual property portfolio

- Patent, trademark, design, domain, copyright applications can be designed for every stage starting from the invention disclosure form.

- It can follow deadlines according to local-based laws.

- It makes reminders and also allows inventors to follow their online applications.

- All processes and forms are configurable

- Also supports cloud-based operation Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about AQX?

Despite its many important features and vital features for inhouse intellectual property departments, it has the following disadvantages;

- It is quite complex to use

- it is very difficult for a new user to use this service without training

- Screen interfaces are pretty outdated

-Compared to other solutions in this area, most other services do not have this content. However, other services offer simpler and more practical solutions

- When we design a screen interface for a new study, we have a hard time

- Screen transitions are slow

- it is quite expensive Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering AQX:

If your intellectual property portfolio is large and you have different types of intellectual property rights (such as patents, trademarks, designs, copyrights), you definitely need a multifunctional inhouse software. Despite its outdated interface and high price, Anaqua has the infrastructure to meet all your needs in this field. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is AQX solving and how is that benefiting you?

We can list the problems it eliminates and the advantages it provides as follows:

- It automates invention notifications as well as automatically invention disclosure numbering

- Provides the use of intellectual property portfolio from a single center

- Minimizes dependency on attorney offices

- Automates document registration processes

- Makes it easy to get reports or review portfolios

- It digitizes all processes instead of following them with excel or folder. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about AQX?

The system encompasses the entire multifaceted intellectual property package with multiple dimensions for use of its tools and analysis functionality. There is multiple reporting capabilities and strength in the ability to view all entered data in analysis and graphic formats. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about AQX?

Not knowing all of its capabilities and its respective connections to the manner in which the data that is entered and/or displayed. I am still engaging and discovering the multiple ways to capture and demonstrate the data that is entered into Anaqua for reporting and decision-making purposes. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering AQX:

If you are in the market to acquire or change your current intellectual property database system, and if you expect to obtain a powerful, one-stop shop that DOES IT ALL, you CANNOT go wrong with Anaqua. This system is by far the most versatile, comprehensive IP management system that is out there in the market. Anaqua reduces the amount of time it takes to capture and evaluate your IP Portfolio data by providing an in-depth system to enter and control the contents of your data in one location. The customer support and client services teams are extremely responsive, informative, and helpful. It has been a pleasure implementing this system. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is AQX solving and how is that benefiting you?

I have been able to align multiple businesses, their portfolios, their users and their outside counsel under one structured umbrella. I am able to use the Hyperview Reporting and IP Strategy functions to analyze future cost saving opportunities and determine future prosecution efforts based on readily available competitor analysis at a glance. I enjoy the security profile and role assignment features, as well as the ability to bulk-upload newly acquired business portfolios in a relatively short amount of time. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Response from Nancy Hegarty of AQX

Nina - thank you for your time and feedback. We appreciate hearing from you and our user Community. I will share your comments with our Product and Professional Service teams.

What do you like best about AQX?

* Robust analysis features that visualize the data and provide robust reporting capabilities.

* Tight integrations with annuities solution, search tools, patent and trademark offices, business analysis, dashboards, validation of data, and visualization tools.

* The process flows and law engine allow management of large and complex portfolios as well as for small legal teams to manage their portfolio independent of outside counsel.

* The platform allows tracking at the matter level with family trees that visualize a family of patents or marks, at the portfolio level, and at the company level.

*Tool is flexible and configurable - we use it for all our matter management across the company and configured the modules to be custom to our company.

* Spend management allows for tracking spend, managing a budget as well as accruals, and analyzing spend information. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about AQX?

The patent matter space is a bit cluttered with information - I wish there were options to hide some of the fields menus so I didn't have to see so much information (some of which I am unlikely to ever use). Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering AQX:

I found using the demo environment and playing around with the software as well as speaking to references that faced similar challenges to be the most helpful in understanding the software. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is AQX solving and how is that benefiting you?

* Management and improvement of IP portfolio, which has reduced reliance on outside counsel and the amount of internal time devoted to the work as well as improving the outcomes for the underlying IP.

* Provides centralized repository for important information like competitor infringement, product-to-patent mapping, business information, and key documents to make quick business decisions.

* Spend management and analysis - understand how we are spending our budget, assist when need to cut or increase spend, monitor spend against budgeted amounts, manage accruals, help with preparing next year's budget numbers.

* Matter management - agreements, litigations, investigations, etc. - provides a centralized, secure, and sharable repository that can be reported on, searched, and store key information and documents in a configurable fashion. We were able to consolidate tools, easily load in legacy repository information, and integrate acquired company information.

* Data integrity/data upload - easily docket USPTO data from private PAIR and validate data using the data validation tool. Ensures accurate data in your IP records and PTO integration saves time docketing.

* Visualization of data - robust dashboard/data visualization tool allows you to configure exactly what you would like to look at and drill down into the data. Many different dashboards can be set up to monitor all aspects of your IP portfolio and matter management. Allows you to report out to executive level and spot trends and patterns. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Response from Nancy Hegarty of AQX
