From Legacy IP Chaos to an AI-Native Platform — Built for Launch, Growth, and Fundraising

About the Project

ArcPrime is an AI-first Intellectual Property Management System designed to modernize the full IP lifecycle — from invention disclosure to portfolio management.

Built for patent attorneys, in-house legal teams, and innovation-driven enterprises, the platform rethinks IP management as modern operational software rather than legacy legal administration.

Peppermint partnered with ArcPrime from the earliest stage to help shape the brand, design the MVP product, build the website, and support launch readiness during fundraising.

Project Overview

Problem

The IP management category is crowded with outdated systems built around compliance, not usability.

Legacy tools often rely on:

  • Cluttered dashboards
  • Rigid form-heavy workflows
  • Fragmented collaboration processes
  • Poor user experience
  • Slow, manual operations

ArcPrime had the opportunity to enter the market differently — as an AI-native platform built for speed, clarity, and modern legal teams.

Solution

Peppermint helped build a complete go-to-market ecosystem across product, brand, and communication.

We delivered:

  • Strategic positioning for an AI-first LegalTech entrant
  • Enterprise-grade visual identity and brand system
  • MVP UX/UI for core workflows and early users
  • Simplified user journeys across complex patent processes
  • Design system in Figma for speed and consistency
  • Marketing website built for trust, clarity, and fundraising conversations
  • Motion assets explaining AI-enabled workflows
  • Ongoing UX support during growth and iteration

Instead of launching as another legal tool, ArcPrime launched as a modern category challenger.

Process

What We Built

Brand & Positioning

We defined ArcPrime’s market position as an AI-first LegalTech platform built for scale.The brand system was designed to communicate:

  • trust
  • intelligence
  • enterprise readiness
  • modernity
  • category differentiation

This helped shift perception away from legacy legal software and toward intelligent infrastructure.

MVP Product Design

We designed the MVP experience around clarity and operational efficiency.

Core workflows were simplified so users could move faster through complex processes such as:

  • invention intake
  • document management
  • collaboration steps
  • portfolio visibility
  • AI-assisted task support

The goal was to reduce friction without reducing capability.

Scalable Design System

We built a component-based design system to support long-term growth.

This enabled:

  • faster new feature design
  • interface consistency
  • cleaner handoff to development
  • scalable product evolution

A startup moving fast needs systems, not one-off screens.

Website for Trust & Growth

We designed and developed the marketing website to explain a complex category with clarity.

The structure was built to support:

  • first-impression trust
  • investor conversations
  • sales readiness
  • product understanding
  • category differentiation

This made the website a growth asset, not just a brochure.

Motion with a Purpose

Motion was used strategically to simplify product logic and reinforce the AI-native positioning.

Animations helped communicate:

  • workflow movement
  • intelligence layers
  • product relationships
  • system confidence

Always purposeful. Never decorative noise.

Ongoing Product Partnership

Following the launch, Peppermint continued supporting ArcPrime with:

  • UX refinements
  • feature expansion
  • interface improvements
  • design consistency across growth stages

This ensured the product stayed clear while the company moved fast.

Strategic Takeaway

ArcPrime did not need to imitate legacy category leaders. It needed to look like what comes next. When complex industries get modern product experiences:

Trust rises faster
Adoption becomes easier
Teams work more efficiently
Fundraising becomes clearer
Category perception changes
That was the real result.

Your product can stay complex.
Your website should stay clear.
Peppermint helps AI, SaaS, and technical companies turn hard-to-explain products into growth-ready experiences.
