The Missed Calls That Cost IP Law Firms Clients
Missed Inbound Calls from Global Patent Applicants During Critical Prosecution Windows
IP law firms lose high-value leads when potential clients—especially international inventors seeking urgent utility patent or design patent filings—call after hours. With 78% of callers not leaving voicemails, and 44% of IP firms reporting client loss due to missed calls, critical opportunities are lost during time-sensitive patent prosecution phases, such as responding to USPTO office actions within a 3-month deadline. A single unanswered call during a priority review window can result in a lost patent application or delayed market entry for a client’s innovation.
Delayed Responses to Time-Critical Trademark Oppositions and Inter Partes Reviews (IPRs)
Trademark oppositions and inter partes reviews (IPRs) often have strict 30- to 90-day filing windows. When a client contacts a firm during a weekend or after business hours to discuss a potential opposition to a competing design patent or trademark filing, a delayed response—beyond 24 hours—can jeopardize the firm’s ability to file timely. With 82% of clients expecting a response within 24 hours, and 65% prioritizing speed when selecting a law firm, slow response times directly impact a firm’s credibility and win rate in high-stakes IP infringement litigation and post-grant challenges.
Administrative Overload from Managing Client Communications During Peak Filings (e.g., IPR Season)
During peak periods such as the annual IPR filing window (typically March–June), IP attorneys face a 300% surge in client inquiries related to prior art searches, non-disclosure agreements (NDAs), and strategic IP portfolio management. On average, 37% of IP attorneys spend over 10 hours weekly managing calls, scheduling consultations, and following up on copyright registration deadlines—time that could be spent drafting claims for a utility patent or preparing for a complex IP infringement litigation strategy. This administrative burden leads to burnout and reduced billable hours.

Real Results from Real Businesses
“We lost three potential clients in one month because calls from inventors in Japan and India went unanswered after 6 PM. Since implementing Answrr, we’ve captured 14 new patent prosecution clients—three of whom were in urgent need of a prior art search before a USPTO deadline. The AI even booked consultations with our lead patent attorney within 12 minutes of the call, which helped us win a high-value utility patent filing for a medical device startup.”
Linda Chen
Managing Partner, TechIntel IP Group, Intellectual Property (IP) Law Firms
“I was skeptical about an AI handling trademark opposition inquiries, but after testing it during a busy IPR season, I was amazed. The system correctly identified a client calling about a pending opposition to a competitor’s design patent and routed it to me with full context—client name, filing number, and deadline—within 90 seconds. Our response time dropped from 24 hours to under 10 minutes, and we won two key opposition cases we might have missed.”
Robert Kline
Senior Trademark Attorney, Global IP Solutions, Intellectual Property (IP) Law Firms
“Before Answrr, I was spending 12 hours a week on client calls, reminders, and follow-ups—time I could’ve used to manage a client’s entire IP portfolio, including renewing 17 active trademarks and preparing for a copyright registration audit. Now, the AI handles intake, schedules appointments, and sends automated deadline alerts. I’ve reclaimed 8 hours a week, which I’ve reinvested in strategic IP portfolio management—resulting in a 22% increase in client retention.”
