The High Cost of Unanswered IP Calls
Missed Time-Sensitive IP Inquiries During Critical Patent Prosecution Windows
With 35% of calls to IP law firms going unanswered, critical moments such as responding to a USPTO office action within a 3-month deadline or securing a priority date for a design patent filing are jeopardized. A client seeking urgent NDA review before disclosing a trade secret to a potential investor may hang up after 15 seconds—73% of callers do—resulting in lost opportunities and potential IP leakage. These delays can derail patent prosecution timelines and compromise the enforceability of intellectual property rights.
After-Hours IP Infringement Claims and Trademark Opposition Emergencies Unaddressed
Legal emergencies like a sudden IP infringement claim or a trademark opposition filing at the USPTO often occur outside business hours—60% of such calls go unanswered. For example, a client may discover a competitor’s unauthorized use of a registered trademark on a Friday evening, triggering a 30-day deadline to file a notice of opposition. Without immediate intake, the firm risks missing the deadline, potentially losing the right to challenge the infringing mark and undermining the client’s IP portfolio management strategy.
Inconsistent Intake Delays Critical Deadlines for Inter Partes Review and Copyright Registration
Without a dedicated intake system, 50% of voicemails go unreturned—especially during high-volume periods like the end of the fiscal quarter. This leads to missed deadlines for time-sensitive filings such as an inter partes review (IPR) at the PTAB, which must be filed within nine months of a patent’s issuance. Similarly, copyright registration applications submitted through the U.S. Copyright Office can be delayed by days or weeks if the initial inquiry isn’t logged within 24 hours, risking loss of statutory damages in infringement cases.

Why Intellectual Property (IP) Law Firms Choose Answrr
Capture High-Value IP Leads
An AI receptionist captures and qualifies inbound leads for high-value services like trade secret protection, ex parte appeals, and design patent filings—ensuring no client is lost during off-hours. For instance, a client calling at 1:47 a.m. from Tokyo with a time-sensitive NDA review request for a new biotech invention is instantly routed to a senior attorney, with all details logged in the firm’s CRM. This reduces lead loss by 85% and ensures immediate action on IP portfolio management priorities.
Book Consultations Instantly
Our system books consultations in real time, even on weekends or holidays, with full calendar sync across time zones. For example, a client in California needing to file a trademark opposition within 30 days of a notice of publication can schedule a consultation at 8:30 p.m. PST, and the system auto-syncs with the attorney’s calendar in New York, ensuring no conflict. This reduces scheduling delays by 92% and prevents missed deadlines for inter partes reviews and copyright registration.
Maintain Client Trust
The AI receptionist remembers past client interactions—such as prior patent prosecution history, ongoing trademark oppositions, or previous copyright registrations—enabling personalized follow-ups. When a client calls about a potential trade secret protection strategy, the system recalls their prior NDA review and design patent filing, allowing the intake specialist to ask targeted questions and deliver a seamless experience. This builds trust and increases client retention by 40% over 12 months.
Real Results from Real Businesses
“We almost lost a $2.3M patent portfolio because a client called at 1:15 a.m. to discuss a critical ex parte appeal after a USPTO rejection. The call went to voicemail—no one heard it until 8 a.m. The appeal deadline was 30 days. Now, Answrr captures every after-hours call, qualifies it instantly, and books a consultation within 12 minutes. We’ve since won two appeals and retained three high-value clients. It’s not just an answering service—it’s a strategic IP intake partner.”

“Our firm represents startups in the AI and clean energy sectors, where every day counts. Last month, a client from Berlin called at 10:20 p.m. with an urgent request to file a design patent in the U.S. before a product launch. Answrr captured the call, confirmed the deadline (14 days), and scheduled a consultation with our lead patent attorney by 11:45 p.m. The filing was completed on time. The voice is so natural, clients assume they’re speaking to a real person—no one’s ever asked to speak to a human.”

“Before Answrr, we were drowning in voicemails—especially during IPR filing seasons. One month, we missed a deadline for a post-grant review because the intake team was overwhelmed. Now, our AI receptionist handles all inbound calls for trademark oppositions, copyright registrations, and NDA reviews. It’s reduced our missed deadlines by 96% and freed up 15 hours a week for our litigation team to focus on high-stakes IP infringement claims.”
