Independent PTA Audit:
Don’t Leave Your Term to Chance
The USPTO’s PTA calculations are notoriously error-prone. With a documented history of software coding errors and a 2021 Inspector General report revealing that nearly half of sampled patents had unverifiable calculations, the burden of accuracy sits entirely on the patent owner.
Black Hills AI performs a completely independent, rule-based calculation of A, B, and C delays, applicant delays, and overlaps.
Our PTA verification workflow is triggered automatically at grant, ensuring that potential errors are caught long before the narrow two-month statutory reconsideration deadline passes.
In a landscape reshaped by years of shifting case law, our team brings the “deep-seeded AI brain” needed to process complex IP issues.
Stop Losing Revenue to USPTO Calculation Errors
A single day of patent term can represent millions in licensing revenue or a critical competitive advantage. When our PTA error detection identifies a discrepancy, we provide more than just a notification. You receive a signature-ready filing package, including a petition requesting reconsideration of patent term adjustment. This transforms a complex drafting exercise into a simple “review and sign” task, allowing your team to focus on high-level strategy rather than USPTO math.
The Platinum Standard in PTA Reconsideration
Our PTA team verifies thousands of patents annually, staying ahead of the eight significant court decisions that have altered the calculation framework since 2010. By integrating PTA verification into your automated workflow, you ensure that every asset in your portfolio is maximized for its full legal lifespan.

We use our own proprietary logic, not the USPTO’s software, to find hidden errors.
Rapid Turnaround
Automated triggers ensure results are delivered well within the strict statutory windows.
Expert Oversight
