Prokurio

What Prokurio does

Prokurio is a Delaware-incorporated, privately held SaaS company that builds a cloud-based intellectual property cost forecasting and financial planning platform targeting IP law firms and corporate IP departments. The core product, IP Forecaster, generates patent and trademark cost forecasts across 194 patent jurisdictions and 202 trademark jurisdictions, with weekly fee data refreshes and automated retrieval of publication details. The platform is modular: Essentials ($10K/year) covers core forecasting, Advanced ($15K/year) adds foreign associate fee schedule management and benchmarking for up to 50+ firms, and Ultimate ($25K/year) layers on the Client Planner for portfolio budgeting and what-if scenario modeling. Add-on modules include Planner IQ for strategic filing decisions, Spend IQ for automated invoice auditing, Foreign Firm Management with interactive world map benchmarking, and the newer IP Operations Dashboard and Domain Name Forecaster.

The technology stack is browser-delivered cloud SaaS accessible at app.prokurio.com, with Forecast APIs and Fee APIs for third-party integration, OIDC SSO support, and direct data integrations with Questel Equinox, PATTSY WAVE, RWS translation services, and Minesoft for patent publication retrieval. The platform holds SOC 2 Type II certification (October 2025) and maintains EU data residency through AWS Frankfurt hosting launched in June 2025. AI and automation are applied in narrow, well-defined use cases: anomaly detection in invoice review, optimization in filing strategy and translation routing, and process automation in fee schedule management and OCR-based publication lookup. Founded in 2022 (per firmographic record), the company operates with a 1–10 person team led by CEO Phil Henderson and COO Nick LaNoy, with advisor Joe Sosinski, and has not disclosed external funding.

Expansion highlights6 records

Emerging players

• Minesoft: Minesoft provides patent data, publication lookup, and competitive intelligence used by IP professionals. It is a Prokurio data partner (publication retrieval automation) and a partial competitor for IP workflow tooling aimed at patent researchers and attorneys.
• IPlytics: IPlytics offers IP analytics, patent valuation, and technology landscaping tools used by corporate IP teams. It serves the same enterprise IP buyer as Prokurio's Planner IQ module and overlaps on strategic portfolio decision support, though from an analytics rather than cost-forecasting standpoint.

Broad incumbents

• Questel: Questel is a global IP management and intelligence platform whose Equinox product handles patent and trademark portfolio management — a direct integration partner of Prokurio. Both serve enterprise IP teams with portfolio data and cost workflows, though Questel offers a much broader IPMS suite beyond cost forecasting.
• Anaqua: Anaqua provides IP management and analytics software to corporations and law firms, including portfolio management, annuity payments, and budget workflows overlapping with Prokurio's Client Planner and Planner IQ. Anaqua operates at much larger scale with a broader suite, while Prokurio focuses on cost forecasting and budgeting depth.
• Clarivate: Clarivate owns CPA Global, IPfolio, and Derwent, forming one of the largest IP management portfolios globally. It serves the same enterprise IP law firm and corporate IP department buyers as Prokurio, with overlapping capability in portfolio analytics and docketing, though cost forecasting is not its primary focus.
• LexisNexis PatentAdvisor: LexisNexis PatentAdvisor (including TotalPatent and Innography) provides patent search, analytics, and prosecution workflow tools to IP attorneys. It serves the same enterprise IP buyer base and overlaps with Prokurio on prosecution-stage cost and strategy decisions, though from an analytics rather than cost-forecasting angle.
• Wolters Kluwer: Wolters Kluwer's legal software division includes IPfolio and other IP management offerings that target the same law firm and corporate IP buyer as Prokurio. It is a much larger, broader legaltech incumbent with overlapping workflow products but a less specialized focus on cost forecasting.

Others

• RWS: RWS is a leading IP translation services provider and Prokurio's translation rate integration partner. RWS does not directly compete in cost forecasting software, but it sits in the same IP cost workflow — translation spend is one of the largest variable IP cost lines that Prokurio helps forecast.

Direct peers

• PATTSY WAVE (Computer Packages Inc): PATTSY WAVE is a leading IP docketing and management system used by IP law firms and corporate IP departments. Prokurio integrates with PATTSY WAVE (currently Excel import) and competes for the same operational workflow on the client side — particularly around portfolio data and renewal/filing cost visibility.
• Global IP Estimator (by inovia): Global IP Estimator is the legacy patent and trademark cost forecasting tool that Prokurio explicitly positions against ('modern alternative for firms'). Both sell cross-jurisdiction IP cost estimation to law firms and IP owners; they compete head-to-head on forecast accuracy and pricing model (per-estimate vs unlimited).
