Acquisition expands Anaqua\u2019s offerings with easy-to-use platform, supported by exceptional customer service, to help IP practitioners streamline their global filings process<\/h4>\n

BOSTON, May 24, 2021 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — Anaqua<\/a>, the leading innovation and intellectual property (IP) management technology provider, today announced that it has acquired tech-enabled IP services company Actio IP<\/a> from Acapo AS<\/a>. The transaction further strengthens Anaqua\u2019s strategic line of IP management solutions, offering corporations and law firms an intuitive, transparent, and efficient experience in managing the Patent Cooperation Treaty (PCT) National Phase and European Patent (EP) Validation filing processes.
\n<\/strong><\/p>\n

Anaqua will continue to enhance Actio IP\u2019s tech-enabled foreign filing services platform, ACTIO Portal, while significantly investing in the integration of the services with Anaqua\u2019s IP management software and payment services. Actio IP, which also offers IP renewals, will add incremental volume to Anaqua\u2019s existing payments business.<\/p>\n

\u201cBoth companies share a deep commitment to leveraging technology to optimize the IP workflow process,\u201d said Christine Jennings, President of Anaqua Services, who will lead the new business unit. \u201cWe believe this combination will enhance the customer experience by pairing our existing payments business with another high-quality service that can be seamlessly-integrated with our software platforms and other offerings.\u201d<\/p>\n

All Actio IP employees will join Anaqua as part of the acquisition, as the business expands its current operations in Bergen, Norway under the management of Actio IP executives Spencer Vold-Burgess and Anders Osa-Svanberg, who will both report to Christine Jennings.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe combination of the two companies will serve to address the growing demand for increased efficiency in global filings,\u201d said Spencer Vold-Burgess, who will join Anaqua as Director, Client Services. \u201cSince our initial interactions with Anaqua, it has been clear that we share the same goals in providing unparalleled IP solutions and customer service to help our clients streamline IP management processes. Our team has been impressed with Anaqua\u2019s global scale and client base, and look forward to joining the Anaqua team and innovating to better serve this evolving industry.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cAnaqua will be a great partner for Actio IP going forward,\u201d said Hilde Vold-Burgess, Managing Partner of Acapo. \u201cThis acquisition will strengthen Actio IP\u2019s capacity to pursue strategic growth initiatives and continue delivering innovative solutions to the IP industry. We wish Actio IP and the team all the best under the Anaqua umbrella, and look forward to continuing using their services as they enter this next phase of scaling.\u201d<\/p>\n
