—OTTO HUB™ · MCP CONTROLLER
Finally — AI that already knows your docket.

—THE QUIET PROBLEM
AI promised to give your team their week back. So far, it's given them more uploads.
Your attorneys and paralegals know AI can help. They’ve tried it. And every time, the same thing happens — they spend more time gathering, downloading, and uploading documents than they save on the actual work. The bottleneck isn’t the AI. It’s getting your firm’s data to the AI.
Downloading file wrappers from Patent Center page by page, then dragging them into Claude.
Copy-pasting claim sets from your IPMS data so the AI can chart them against an office action.
Pulling cited references one at a time just to ask “does this actually teach the limitation?”
Re-entering the same matter facts into the AI every single conversation — because none of it carries from one session to the next.
—THE SHIFT
What if your AI already had the file?
Otto HUB™ MCP Controller is the secure connection that lets the AI assistants your firm already uses — Claude, Copilot, ChatGPT, Cursor — reach directly into your live USPTO docket and your IPMS data. No uploads. No copying. No re-entering. Your team just asks.
BEFORE
47 minutes per office action review
Download wrapper → split PDFs → upload to AI → upload claims → upload cited art → copy summary → paste somewhere safe → repeat for next matter.
→
AFTER
90 seconds per office action review
“Summarize the latest OA for matter 18/940,030, flag any §103 weakness, and draft a response shell I can review.”
—WHAT THIS UNLOCKS
A limitless horizon — for the work you do, and the work you've never had time to do.
When your AI tools already know your docket, the math changes. The tedious work that used to eat your team’s week becomes minutes. And the high-end strategic work that used to be reserved for the most senior attorneys becomes something your whole team can deliver — faster, more consistently, with less risk.
01
Tedious work becomes invisible.
IDS reviews, 1449 checks, NOA checklists, claim charting, file history summaries, antecedent basis sweeps — the work that quietly consumes your paralegals’ and associates’ weeks runs in the background, in minutes. Your team stops doing it. The AI just does it, every time, with the docket data already in hand.
02
Strategic work scales beyond the partner bench.
Office action analysis. Continuation planning. Family mapping. Appeal brief drafting. The high-judgment work that used to bottleneck on a handful of senior attorneys becomes accessible to your whole team — because the AI brings the deterministic prep work, and your attorney brings the judgment. More matters, same headcount, better quality.
03
Overhead drops. Capacity grows.
Hours that used to go to manual data assembly, document gathering, and re-entry come off the matter budget. The same team handles more work without burning out. Margins go up on flat-fee work. Realization improves on hourly. You stop hiring just to keep up with volume.
04
Risk goes down — quietly and steadily.
The deterministic Otto HUB™ foundation has handled millions of automated docketing transactions since 2009. When your AI pulls data through that layer instead of from a screen scrape or a manual upload, the catastrophic-error categories — wrong matter, missed deadline, stale claim set — engineer themselves out. Every AI access is logged. Every scope is revocable.
—BUILT FOR YOUR TEAM
One connection. Real results for everyone who touches a matter.
For Patent Attorneys
Stop assembling files. Start practicing law.
Ask Claude or ChatGPT to summarize an office action, draft an argument against a §103 rejection, or compare a pending claim set against the spec — and the AI already has the wrapper, the references, and the claims. No uploads. No setup. Just the work.
- OA summaries and response shells in seconds
- Continuation strategy with the family already mapped
- Live antecedent-basis and 112 sweeps on pending claims
- Appeal brief drafting from the prosecution record
For Paralegals & Docketing
The tedious work runs itself now.
Every IDS, every 1449, every NOA checklist, every file-history pull, every deadline sweep — the work that used to fill your day becomes a one-line request to your AI assistant. The Otto HUB™ connection makes sure the data is current, accurate, and tied to the right matter every time.
- Automated IDS and 1449 review across the entire portfolio
- NOA readiness checklists in minutes, not hours
- File-history pulls delivered as structured summaries on demand

For Firm Leadership
Buy the connection. Own the AI strategy.
One vendor. One secure connection. Every AI tool your firm uses, working off the same source of truth. Replace point integrations, reduce overhead on high-volume work, grow capacity without growing headcount, and give your IP committee a security posture they’ll actually sign off on.
- Higher margins on flat-fee prosecution work
- More matters handled per attorney without burnout
- OAuth-secured, audit-logged, zero data retention
- No model training on your portfolio. Ever.

—COMMON QUESTIONS
What firms ask first.
What does the MCP Controller actually do for my team?
It removes the single biggest bottleneck in using AI for patent work: feeding it documents. Instead of uploading file wrappers, claims, office actions, and IDS forms one at a time, your team’s AI assistant pulls them directly — live, from your USPTO docket and your IPMS data — and works on them in seconds. Your attorneys and paralegals stop being couriers for their own data.
Do my attorneys and paralegals need to be technical to use this?
Not at all. Your team keeps using Claude, Copilot, or ChatGPT exactly the way they already do — same window, same conversation, same workflow. The MCP Controller runs quietly in the background. The only difference is that the AI already has the file when they ask.
Is this safe for privileged client work?
Yes. OAuth 2.0 authentication, scoped permissions revocable at any time, zero data retention, no AI model training on your portfolio, US-based infrastructure, and full audit logging of every AI access. This is the security model your GC and IP committee will want to see — and we’ll provide the documentation they ask for.
How quickly can my firm see results?
Most teams see meaningful time savings on day one. Office action summaries, NOA checklists, IDS review, and claim charting that used to take hours start running in minutes — using the AI tools your firm already pays for. Sandbox access typically within one business day; full production access usually within the first week.
What does "MCP" mean, in plain English?
MCP — Model Context Protocol — is an open standard that lets AI assistants safely connect to outside systems. Anthropic created it, donated it to the Linux Foundation, and every major AI tool now supports it: Claude, Cursor, Copilot, ChatGPT. Otto HUB™ MCP Controller is the connector that uses this standard to safely link your firm’s docket and documents to whichever AI your team prefers. You don’t need to think about the protocol — you just get the result.
Does this replace our existing AI tools?
No — it makes them dramatically more useful. Whatever your firm has already standardized on — Claude, ChatGPT Enterprise, Copilot, Cursor — Otto HUB™ MCP Controller plugs into it. You don’t switch tools. You give the tools you already have direct, secure access to the docket they’ve been missing.
What does it cost?
Otto HUB™ MCP Controller is available standalone or as part of the Otto IP™ Suite. Pricing is based on portfolio volume and the AI workloads you want to enable. We’ll scope it during the demo conversation and give you a number you can take to your committee.
