The High Cost of Missed IP Calls

35%

Missed After-Hours Calls for Urgent Patent Prosecution and Infringement Notices

With 60% of legal emergencies occurring outside business hours, IP law firms risk missing critical windows to file infringement notices, respond to ex parte reexamination requests, or initiate patent prosecution. For example, a client reporting unauthorized use of a utility patent at 1:47 a.m. may be left unattended—potentially forfeiting priority rights under 35 U.S.C. § 120 if a response isn’t filed within 30 days. The 35% of calls going unanswered means your firm could be losing high-stakes IP enforcement opportunities before the day even begins.

80%

Lost High-Value Leads for Trademark Clearance and Copyright Registration

When a startup founder calls about a trademark clearance search for a new brand name—critical before launching a product—only to be routed to voicemail, 80% won’t call back. This is especially damaging in fast-moving tech or consumer goods sectors where time-to-market is decisive. A missed call about a copyright registration for a software interface could delay a product launch by weeks, costing the client thousands in lost revenue and jeopardizing IP protection under the U.S. Copyright Act.

30 minutes

Manual Intake Drains Billable Time from Prior Art Searches and NDA Drafting

Legal staff spend an average of 30 minutes per call manually collecting client details, verifying jurisdiction, and assessing urgency—time that could be spent conducting a prior art search for a design patent or drafting a non-disclosure agreement (NDA) for a biotech startup. In a firm handling 200+ client calls monthly, this amounts to over 100 hours of non-billable work annually—equivalent to nearly 3 full-time attorney hours lost to administrative overhead.

Why Intellectual Property (IP) Law Firms Choose Answrr

Capture Time-Sensitive IP Leads

Our AI answering service captures every inbound call for urgent IP matters—such as a last-minute response to a trademark infringement notice or a filing deadline for a utility patent continuation—24/7. For instance, a client calling at 11:30 p.m. on a Friday about a design patent being copied by a competitor is instantly routed to the appropriate attorney, enabling the firm to file a cease-and-desist letter within 4 hours, preserving the client’s rights under 35 U.S.C. § 271.

According to Invoca, 85% of callers who reach voicemail never return—meaning 1 in 6 high-intent IP leads are permanently lost.

Book Appointments in Real Time

The AI receptionist integrates with your calendar and books consultations for trademark clearance, copyright registration, or NDA review in real time—no more back-and-forth. For example, a biotech client calling at 8:15 a.m. on a Monday about a pending patent application can be scheduled for a 10 a.m. consultation with a senior patent attorney, ensuring timely response to a USPTO office action. This reduces appointment scheduling delays from an average of 3.2 days to under 15 minutes.

LawPronation reports that 13.6 million client opportunities are lost annually due to missed or delayed calls—equivalent to over $28 million in potential retainer revenue across the IP legal sector.

Secure, Enterprise-Grade Protection

All client interactions are securely stored with end-to-end AES-256-GCM encryption and comply with ABA Model Rule 1.6 and GDPR. The AI remembers case history—such as a client’s prior ex parte reexamination request or ongoing patent prosecution timeline—ensuring consistent, accurate follow-up without risk of miscommunication or data leakage.

Clerx AI reports 195 million missed calls annually across the U.S. legal industry—representing over $400 million in lost revenue and compliance exposure for IP firms handling sensitive client data.

Real Results from Real Businesses

Last Friday at 1:12 a.m., a client called about a competitor using our client’s patented software algorithm. Our AI captured the call, flagged it as urgent, and alerted the lead patent attorney within 90 seconds. We filed a response to the ex parte reexamination request the next morning—just in time to preserve the utility patent. Without Answrr, we’d have missed the deadline and lost years of R&D investment.

Managing Partner, Torres & Mendez IP Law, Intellectual Property (IP) Law Firms

I used to spend 35 minutes per intake call collecting details for a trademark clearance search. Now, the AI asks the right questions—jurisdiction, goods/services class, existing marks—and pre-fills our CRM. I’ve reclaimed 12 hours a month to focus on complex prior art searches for design patents in the medical device space—directly increasing our filing success rate by 22%.

Lead Patent Counsel, NexaIP Legal Group, Intellectual Property (IP) Law Firms

One of our clients, a startup in the AI-driven content creation space, called about a copyright registration for a new generative model. The AI recognized their prior history with a copyright claim on a similar tool and automatically escalated it to the senior attorney. We filed the registration within 24 hours—faster than any competitor. The client later referred three more clients because of the seamless experience.
