Our daily file opening can be done in one of three ways.
Download the form using the hyperlink above. Fill out the details you have available and send it over to your unique @blackhillsip.com docketing inbox (reach out to us if you don't know your docketing email or need one set up). After we receive it, we will use the information you provided and open the matter shell into your docketing system.
If preferred, you can forward us the EFS receipt that is issued by the USPTO at the time of filing. Please forward this to your BHIP docketing inbox. We will use this information to open the matter in your docketing system.
When you are set up as a file opening customer, we will automatically open new files when docketing correspondence comes through for a matter that is not yet opened in your system. For example, if we scrape a filing receipt but cannot find the matter in your system, our team will go ahead and open the shell and subsequently docket the filing receipt.
Don't hesitate to reach out if you have any questions.
