Compare Clarivate and PatentRenewal.com across workflows, tools, costs, reliability and transparency to find the renewal solution that best fits your IP needs.
A closer look at how IP renewals are set up, executed, and controlled behind the scenes.
Uses local agents in many markets to execute renewals (even if they’re not legally required). Extra intermediaries mean higher fees.
Handles over 90% of IP renewals directly, globally, without intermediaries, resulting in significant cost savings.
Invoices lack transparency, fees are bundled together. Customers can’t verify official fees or added margins.
Every invoice provides a full itemised breakdown separating official and non-official fees (service, transaction, currency exchange). No inflated totals, no hidden fees.
Built with layered workflow, more complex navigation and configuration required.
User-friendly software with auto-renewal options, personalized reporting, live IP portfolio tracking with custom updates, and smart filtering options.
Reporting is primarily based on predefined templates, with limited flexibility for tailored portfolio views or custom filtering.
Offers customizable reporting by jurisdiction, IP right, and timeframe, with structured exports suitable for budgeting and internal analysis.
