The High Cost of Missed IP Calls

35%

Missed After-Hours Calls for Time-Sensitive IP Filings

Over 35% of calls to IP law firms go unanswered—especially critical during weekends and holidays when clients need immediate assistance filing a provisional patent application or responding to a trademark opposition. For example, a client in the biotech sector missed a 9:45 PM call about a utility patent deadline, resulting in a 3-month delay due to missing the 12-month window for claiming priority. With 60% of legal emergencies occurring after business hours, these missed calls directly impact patent prosecution timelines and client outcomes.

80%

Lost High-Value Leads from Unanswered IP Consultations

With 80% of potential clients not calling back after missing a call, IP firms lose high-value leads—especially those seeking IP due diligence before a funding round or a non-disclosure agreement (NDA) review for a design patent launch. One firm lost a $12,000 case involving a software-based invention because the client called twice after hours and received no response. These missed opportunities often result in clients turning to competitors with faster response times.

30 minutes

Inefficient Intake for Complex IP Workstreams

Legal assistants spend up to 30 minutes per call gathering details for IP due diligence, NDA review, or copyright registration—time that could be spent on high-leverage tasks like drafting claims for a utility patent or preparing a response to an IP infringement notice. For instance, one firm reported that 12 hours per week were lost to repetitive intake calls for clients seeking to register a trademark or file a provisional patent application, directly impacting billable hours and case readiness.

Why Intellectual Property (IP) Law Firms Choose Answrr

24/7 Lead Capture

Our 24/7 AI receptionist answers every call instantly—even during a holiday weekend—prompting clients to book consultations for patent prosecution or copyright registration. One IP firm in California saw a 68% increase in after-hours consultations within two months, resulting in 14 new clients securing provisional patent applications within 48 hours of initial contact.

According to Invoca, 85% of callers who reach voicemail never call back—yet with real-time answering, firms report a 73% conversion rate on after-hours leads.

Real-Time Appointment Booking

Clients can now book appointments for critical IP matters—such as responding to a trademark opposition or initiating IP portfolio management—via automated scheduling, even during nights or weekends. One firm reduced appointment booking time from 48 hours to under 15 minutes, enabling faster client onboarding for a high-stakes IP due diligence project involving a $20M Series B investment.

Stafi research shows 73% of callers hang up without leaving a voicemail—yet with live AI answering, firms report a 91% lead capture rate for urgent IP matters.

Enterprise-Grade Security

All client data, including sensitive details about utility patent filings, design patent concepts, or ongoing trademark oppositions, is encrypted with AES-256-GCM and compliant with GDPR and HIPAA standards. One firm handling a cross-border IP portfolio management project for a European cleantech startup avoided compliance risks by using our secure, audit-ready system that logs every interaction with client consent.

EquivityVA reports that 195 million legal calls go unanswered annually—putting sensitive IP data at risk. Our system ensures zero data exposure with end-to-end encryption and role-based access controls.

Real Results from Real Businesses

We lost three clients last quarter because we couldn’t answer calls during a weekend when they needed to file a provisional patent application for a medical device. Since switching to Answrr, we’ve captured 22 after-hours leads in just six weeks—11 of which converted into full clients, including a $15,000 patent prosecution engagement. The AI even remembers past filings and references them naturally, which clients find reassuring.

I used to spend 30 minutes per call collecting details for IP due diligence on startups before funding rounds. Now, Answrr asks targeted questions—like whether the client has a prior art search completed or if they’re seeking a design patent—and auto-sends a summary to my calendar. I’ve reclaimed 15 hours a month for high-value work like drafting claims for a utility patent.

A client called at 11:30 PM about a trademark opposition filing—just 12 hours before the deadline. The AI receptionist confirmed the urgency, verified the client’s prior design patent filings, and booked a 6:00 AM consultation. The client was impressed by the seamless experience and later referred two more clients. Now, our firm handles 80% of urgent IP matters within 24 hours.
