TOKYO, Japan, November 9th , 2026 - Anaqua, the leading provider of innovation and intellectual property (IP) management technology solutions and services, today announced that Rapidus Corporation, a manufacturer of advanced logic semiconductors, has selected Anaqua to support its global IP management strategy as it advances development of next‑generation, leading‑edge logic semiconductors. Anaqua’s market‑leading IP management platform empowers Rapidus’ rapid deployment, global collaboration, and scalable growth for advanced semiconductor development.
Rapidus is a semiconductor manufacturer established in August 2022. The company aims to reestablish Japan’s position in world’s leading-edge logic semiconductor manufacturing while contributing to a more resilient and balanced global semiconductor ecosystem.
As Rapidus expects significant expansion of its IP portfolio in the coming years, the company took decisive action to establish a modern, scalable foundation for global IP operations from the outset. Rather than adapting legacy processes over time, Rapidus chose Anaqua because it can be rapidly deployed, operate on a fit-to-standard model, and enable seamless collaboration across both Japanese and international stakeholders. In addition, the key factors in Rapidus’ selection of Anaqua include its proven track record with leading Japanese enterprises, combined with its scalable platform architecture and global implementation expertise.
Under the agreement, Rapidus is deploying Anaqua’s AQX® platform to centrally manage its global IP portfolio. AQX is widely used across the semiconductor industry, supporting some of the most sophisticated and high-growth IP organizations worldwide. Leveraging deep domain expertise and a strong track record of successful deployments, Anaqua delivers a streamlined implementation and expanding platform functionality over time, which is critical to support Rapidus’ rapid business scale-up, advancing technology roadmap, and growing global footprint.
“Rapidus represents one of the most significant and ambitious semiconductor initiatives in the global market today,” said Justin Crotty, CEO of Anaqua. “Their selection of Anaqua reflects the importance of speed, scalability, and strategic insight in building a strong IP foundation from day one. We’re proud to support Rapidus as it develops technologies that will shape the future of AI, automotive, and high‑performance computing.”
Rapidus is also leveraging Anaqua’s advanced analytics capabilities to gain insights into future inventions and emerging technology trends, supporting long‑term strategic decision‑making.
By adopting a modern, data‑driven IP management platform, Rapidus is positioning IP as a core enabler of innovation, collaboration, and long‑term competitiveness. Particularly as the company aims to develop and manufacture the world’s most advanced logic semiconductors, shortening cycle times across design, wafer processes, and 3D packaging.
“Rapidus is operating at the intersection of advanced technology and global collaboration,” said Kazuyasu Adachi, President and General Manager, Japan & APAC, Anaqua. “Supporting organizations of this significance requires more than technology. It requires a deep understanding of regional ecosystems, global best practices, and how IP can drive long‑term industrial impact. We’re proud to partner with Rapidus at this formative stage as they establish an IP foundation built for global relevance and sustained innovation.”
