Miller IP
The short version
Miller IP is a Mountain Green, Utah intellectual property firm offering flat-fee patent, trademark, and copyright filings for startups, small businesses, and independent creators.
Strengths
- Published flat fees for core patent, trademark, copyright, and search services, with stated turnaround windows
- Free 30-minute strategy session and free initial consultations
- Reviewers consistently describe fast responses, answered calls, and proactive updates during filings
- Complex patent and trademark concepts explained in plain language for first-time filers
- Broad industry experience listed, from SaaS and AI to fashion, food and beverage, and medical devices
Considerations
- Free consultations are time-limited, and at least one reviewer found a session rushed
- Not every inquiry results in representation; the firm has declined matters based on information provided by prospective clients
- Matters outside the flat-fee structure are billed hourly, so costs are less predictable for those engagements
About Miller IP
Miller IP is a Mountain Green, Utah intellectual property law firm serving startups, side hustles, small businesses, and independent creators. Its practice centers on patents, trademarks, and copyrights, with published flat-fee pricing for core filings: provisional patent applications, non-provisional utility patent filings, trademark applications, copyright applications, and pre-filing patent and trademark searches. Each of those listings carries a stated turnaround window, and the firm also advertises a free 30-minute strategy session and free consultations. Matters that fall outside the flat-fee structure are billed at an hourly IP rate of $300.
Beyond filings, the firm handles USPTO office action responses, IP litigation, licensing agreements, assignments and transfers, cease and desist matters, and foreign or international filings. Its listed client industries are unusually broad for a firm of this size, spanning SaaS, artificial intelligence, fintech, blockchain, and software alongside fashion, food and beverage, health and beauty, wearables, medical devices, drones, jewelry, baby and kids products, and outdoor and garden goods.
Across 162 reviews and a 4.90 rating, several patterns stand out. Responsiveness is the most consistent theme: reviewers describe calls being answered, messages returned, and clients kept informed as filings progressed. A second pattern is plain-language explanation, with multiple reviewers noting that patent and trademark concepts were made digestible for people new to intellectual property. Reviewers also cite the firm’s business perspective - one attributes it to an MBA background alongside legal training - as useful for founders weighing protection against commercial strategy. Cost predictability and affordability recur, particularly among reviewers who had worked with larger firms previously, and efficient handling of filings and office actions is mentioned repeatedly.
The tone that emerges is friendly and informal rather than stiffly corporate, and several reviewers mention tutorials or educational content accompanying the legal work. Limitations appear as well. One reviewer found a consultation rushed; the firm’s response noted that free consultations are capped in length, and that an impromptu call the day before a scheduled meeting limited how far it could extend. Another review reflects a declined engagement, with the firm citing concerns about reliance on information provided. Together these suggest a practice that is accessible on price but selective about the matters it takes on.
