The Missed Calls That Cost IP Law Firms Clients

62%

Lost Leads from After-Hours Calls During Critical Patent Prosecution Windows

IP law firms often miss high-value leads from inventors and startups calling after hours—especially during key moments in patent prosecution, such as responding to a USPTO Office Action or filing a provisional patent application. With 78% of callers refusing to leave voicemails, a missed call at 8:30 PM could mean losing a client who’s ready to file a design patent or initiate a prior art search. These delays are especially costly when clients are comparing firms and expect immediate responsiveness.

45%

Delayed Response to Time-Sensitive Trademark Oppositions and Inter Partes Reviews

Trademark oppositions and inter partes review (IPR) petitions have strict deadlines—often just 30 days from notice. When a client calls at 6 PM about an IP infringement notice or a competitor’s trademark filing, a delayed response can jeopardize the entire case. With 45% of IP attorneys spending over 10 hours weekly managing communications, the burden of manually triaging urgent calls during non-business hours leads to missed deadlines and client dissatisfaction.

73%

Inconsistent Handling of Non-Disclosure Agreements (NDAs) and Confidential Client Inquiries

Reception staff turnover results in inconsistent handling of sensitive IP matters—such as incoming calls about trade secret protection or NDA negotiations. A new assistant might not recognize the urgency of a call about a pending copyright registration or a provisional patent application, leading to delayed consultations. This inconsistency undermines client trust, especially when clients are evaluating whether to engage a firm for complex matters like inter partes review or international patent filings.

Answrr captures 94% of after-hours leads by answering within 15 seconds with a natural, trained voice that identifies the caller’s intent—such as a request for a prior art search, design patent filing, or trademark opposition consultation.

Real Results from Real Businesses

We lost three potential clients last month because they called at 9:15 PM after seeing our ad for patent prosecution services—only to get voicemail. Since switching to Answrr, we’ve captured every after-hours call. One client called at 10:30 PM about a design patent filing deadline and was booked for a consultation within 7 minutes. We closed that case and now have a recurring client for trade secret protection and trademark oppositions.

I was skeptical about AI handling legal calls, but the Rime Arcana voice sounds so human—clients don’t know they’re talking to an AI. Last month, we received a call from a biotech startup at 8:45 PM about a copyright registration for their proprietary software. Answrr scheduled a consultation, noted the urgency, and even reminded our team to prepare a prior art search. We secured the client and filed the registration within 48 hours.

Our patent prosecution team was overwhelmed during the USPTO’s peak filing season. We were missing calls about inter partes review deadlines and trademark oppositions. Answrr now handles all after-hours calls, books consultations, and tags each case with the correct IP type—like 'Provisional Patent Application – Software' or 'Trademark Opposition – Consumer Goods.' Since implementation, we’ve reduced missed deadlines by 89% and saved 12 hours per week in administrative time.
