All data US-hosted, all employees US-based. ‘Customer responsiveness is everything’ ethos — multiple testimonials cite support quality. Flexible subscription pricing (described as ‘cost-effective’ and ‘reasonable’ by users). PM Corporate module adds budget tracking, invoice approval, and spend forecasting for corporate IP departments. Supports XML imports for patent office data automation. Black Hills IP integration for automated patent office feeds. Lacks predictive analytics (examiner forecasting, cost estimation) that newer competitors like TriangleIP offer.
