The High Cost of Missing IP Calls
Missed Urgent Patent Prosecution Deadlines Due to Unanswered Calls
IP law firms routinely face time-sensitive deadlines in patent prosecution—such as responding to Office Actions within 3-month windows or filing continuations before abandonment. With 78% of potential clients not leaving voicemails and an average response time of 4.2 hours, critical opportunities are lost. For example, a client seeking expedited examination for a biotech patent filing may abandon their case after a 4-hour delay, especially when competing firms respond within 15 minutes. This results in lost billable work and reputational damage in high-stakes technical fields.
Inconsistent Handling of Trademark Opposition Notices and Inter Partes Review (IPR) Filings
Trademark oppositions and IPR petitions require immediate attention—deadlines are often 30 days from notice, and missing them can result in permanent loss of rights. Yet 34% of IP law firms lack a standardized call-handling system, leading to inconsistent client follow-ups. A call about a third-party trademark opposition in the AI/ML space may be misrouted or delayed, jeopardizing the firm’s ability to file a timely response and potentially costing the client thousands in lost market exclusivity.
Attorneys Diverted from High-Value IP Portfolio Management and Litigation Support
Attorneys at IP law firms spend an average of 2.3 hours per day answering non-urgent calls—such as general inquiries about copyright infringement claims or trade secret protection consultations. This represents 87% of firms reporting lost billable time. For instance, a senior associate working on a multi-jurisdictional IP litigation support case involving a complex prior art search could lose critical research time answering a client’s question about NDA templates, delaying discovery timelines and increasing risk of sanctions.

Why Intellectual Property (IP) Law Firms Choose Answrr

For example, a client calling at 10:30 PM about a last-minute trademark opposition filing receives an immediate response, with the AI routing the case to the appropriate attorney within 2 minutes. This directly prevents the 65% of IP law firms that lose clients due to missed calls, translating to a 41% increase in conversion rates for firms using AI call agents during critical filing windows.

Clients can schedule consultations on the spot—Answrr integrates with your firm’s calendar and checks real-time availability across multiple attorneys. For instance, a startup seeking help with trade secret protection can book a 30-minute consultation with a partner specializing in IP litigation support within 90 seconds.

With Rime Arcana voice technology, the AI delivers human-like interactions that sound natural and professional—critical for IP firms where first impressions determine client trust.

This ensures consistent, accurate communication without compromising the firm’s legal credibility.
