Leading IP Professionals Trust Otto IP™

“Ward Law Office has been pleased to work with the docketing and maintenance/renewal teams at Black Hills IP. Their professionalism, responsiveness, and attention to detail is excellent. We can recommend Black Hills IP for these services without reservation.”
– Jacob Ward, Founder & Attorney, Ward Patent Law








“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.”
– David Joyal, VP Legal, Global Supply, and Patent, Coty Inc.
