Anaqua tends to fit when
You run a large, global portfolio, want docketing, analytics, cost forecasting and IP services from one vendor, and have the team to administer a full IP lifecycle platform.
Look harder when
Your portfolio is small or mostly trademarks and a lighter docketing tool would do. Compare it with the alternatives on your own scenarios.
