Streamline Docketing
with Intelligent Automation
Black Hills AI’s platform handles the complexities of IP management, so you can scale seamlessly while staying focused on initiatives that drive your business.
Instead of your in-house team manually reviewing documents and keying in dates, our system grabs the data directly from the patent office, analyzes it, and loads it into your system automatically, with an error rate better than Six Sigma.
Our Automation Handles…
Automatically pull and process all correspondence from the USPTO and other patent offices

Create and deploy custom tasks in your prosecution workflow easily – your automation wish is our command

Virtually eliminate human error by automating data input, with a proven track record of preventing fatal mistakes

Seamlessly connect with major IP platforms, including Foundation IP®, CPI®, and Anaqua® – without modifying your processes

Intelligently identify document types and route them for docketing and attorney review according to your firm’s rules.

Provide an extra layer of security and peace of mind with our DualDocket™ service, ensuring complete redundancy

Continuously monitor USPTO Patent Center for status changes & get automatic alerts for critical updates

An Extension of Your Team
Direct USPTO Integration
Directly scrape documents from the patent office outbox and generate response shells for all non-final and final rejections, ensuring no communication is ever missed.
Automated Docket Verification
Use DocketSaver™ as a quality control check on your existing docketing to identify and correct errors before they become costly.
Workflows Tailored to Your Firm
Detailed “desk references” ensure our automated processes replicate your firm’s exact methods and preferences.
Strategic Recommendations
Automation alone isn’t enough. Our team identifies opportunities and makes strategic recommendations to improve internal processes.
Foreign Correspondence Management
Our Honu platform replaces messy email chains with a structured data system for foreign agents, streamlining international docketing.
Seamless Onboarding for Staffing Gaps
Facing a staffing deficit or a “crisis situation”? Our team handles the heavy lifting of onboarding to clean up backlogs and establish order quickly.
Secure & Specialized Proprietary AI
We utilize proprietary AI because commonly available tools like ChatGPT or Copilot lack the security and specialized expertise needed to automate your IP processes effectively.

“Paying annuities was a horrible chore … there have been a number of advantages in moving to Black Hills IP Renewals. For starters, it’s been hugely helpful being able to run a cost model on both individual patents and on patent families that aid in strategic decision-making. We love utilizing custom tags by technology applicability, M&A, licenses and relevance to competition, and third-party obligations.”
– David Joyal, VP Legal, Global Supply, and Patent, Coty Inc.









“The granularity of the data on this system is astounding. It is far more user-friendly than any other annuity system. You’re going to love it.”
– Glen Belvis, Principal, Belvis Law LLC









“The power of this platform is that it provides objective roots to decision-making. You can evaluate your IP by forward citations, by how many cases were filed by that class in that year and then plan subsequent activity. Lastly, you can provide cost predictability. If I need to provide an immediate 20% budget reduction, let’s model that a couple ways on my annuity budget and give it to the business to make decisions and explain what they get for each level of spend. This tool allows you to do that and is tremendously powerful.”
