The High-Stakes Cost of Missed IP Calls
Missed After-Hours Inquiries During Critical Patent Prosecution Deadlines
IP law firms face urgent after-hours calls from inventors and startups needing immediate guidance on USPTO examination responses, PCT international filing deadlines, or time-sensitive inter partes review (IPR) filings. With 60% of legal emergencies occurring outside business hours, a missed call can result in a failed patent prosecution due to a missed deadline—costing clients up to $250,000 in lost market exclusivity. For example, a client calling at 1:30 a.m. about a provisional patent application with a prior art search already completed may abandon the filing if not answered within minutes.
High Voicemail Drop-Off on Complex IP Matters Like Trademark Oppositions
When a client calls to report a potential trademark infringement during a USPTO opposition window, 73% hang up without leaving a voicemail—especially if they’re unsure how to articulate the issue. This is particularly damaging in cases involving high-value brand portfolios or cross-border filings, where delays of even 48 hours can jeopardize a trademark registration in key markets like the EU or Japan. Without a live response, firms lose opportunities to secure early-mover advantages in trademark opposition proceedings.
Delayed Qualification of Invention Disclosures for IP Licensing Negotiations
Attorneys spend an average of 45 minutes per call reviewing incomplete voicemails that lack critical details such as invention disclosure summaries, prior art references, or technical specifications needed for IP licensing negotiation strategy. This delay is especially costly during high-stakes negotiations involving trade secret protection or licensing of patented software, where a 72-hour response window can determine whether a startup secures venture capital or loses a key partner.

Real Results from Real Businesses
“We lost three high-value patent clients last quarter because we missed after-hours calls during critical USPTO examination windows. One was a medical device patent with a 30-day response deadline—by the time we called back, the examiner had issued a final rejection. Since switching to Answrr, we’ve captured every inquiry, including a PCT filing at 2:17 a.m. for a semiconductor startup. Our conversion rate for after-hours leads has doubled, and we’ve secured two new IP licensing deals worth over $1.2M in revenue.”
