Anaqua continues significant expansion in tech sector
BOSTON — (BUSINESS WIRE) — May 9, 2017 — Anaqua, Inc., a leading provider of intellectual property (IP) management and analytics software and services, today announced that Analog Devices, Inc., a global leader in high-performance semiconductors for signal processing applications, has selected Anaqua’s SaaS platform for Intellectual Property Management.
Analog Devices, specializes in designing and manufacturing analog, mixed-signal, and DSP integrated circuits used in all types of electronic equipment and relies heavily on its IP assets to stay ahead of its competitors. The publicly traded company, with over $4 Billion invested in R&D since 2009, will use ANAQUA to manage its entire intellectual property portfolio which includes over 14,000 patent assets.
Analog Devices chose Anaqua for its robust rules and workflow which they expect will streamline prosecution, foreign filing and outside counsel collaboration while reducing operational risk.

We were impressed by Anaqua – their execution, integration, support, and implementation – it’s all there.”
