The High Cost of Missed IP Law Firm Calls
Missed Urgent Patent and Trademark Inquiries During Critical Filing Windows
With 35% of calls to IP law firms going unanswered, your firm risks losing high-value clients who need immediate assistance with time-sensitive filings such as a provisional patent application within the 12-month window before a utility patent deadline, or a trademark opposition filing within the 30-day window after publication. A single missed call can result in the loss of a $50,000+ patent portfolio opportunity or a failed trademark registration due to a competitor’s earlier opposition.
Lost Emergency IP Infringement Notices After Hours
Over 60% of legal emergencies—such as receiving an IP infringement notice from a competitor or a cease-and-desist letter related to a design patent—occur outside business hours. Without a 24/7 answering service, your firm may miss the critical 48-hour window to respond, risking default judgments, injunctions, or loss of patent rights. A recent case study showed that 73% of callers hang up without leaving a voicemail, meaning even if the call is answered, the message may never be heard.
Delayed IP Due Diligence and NDA Review Cycles
When a potential client reaches voicemail during a merger or acquisition, and the NDA review or IP due diligence process is delayed beyond 72 hours, the deal often collapses. With 50% of voicemails unreturned within that timeframe, your firm loses credibility and competitive advantage. For example, a recent IP due diligence request for a $2M startup was lost because the initial inquiry wasn’t followed up within 48 hours, allowing another firm to secure the engagement.

One firm in San Diego reduced appointment scheduling time from 48 hours to under 15 minutes by using the service to qualify leads and book sessions during off-peak hours, resulting in a 34% increase in closed cases within Q1.

This meets GDPR and CCPA compliance needs for firms handling international clients, especially during cross-border IP portfolio management or due diligence for venture-backed startups.
Real Results from Real Businesses
“We lost a major client last year because we missed a weekend call about a trademark opposition filing—our client had already filed with a competitor. Since switching to Answrr, we’ve captured every after-hours inquiry. In just six months, we’ve secured 12 new trademark opposition cases and 5 provisional patent applications that would have otherwise been lost. Our intake has doubled, and our client retention has improved by 28%.”
Derek Thompson
Managing Partner, Thompson & Reed IP Law Group, Intellectual Property (IP) Law Firms
“I was skeptical about AI handling patent prosecution inquiries, but the system remembers prior filings, asks about the prior art references, and even confirms whether the client has a prior art search completed. It’s now handling 60% of our after-hours intake for utility patent applications. We’ve reduced our response time from 24 hours to under 10 minutes—critical when deadlines are tight.”
