The High Cost of Missed IP Calls
Missed After-Hours Inquiries for Time-Sensitive Patent Prosecution and Trademark Opposition
35% of calls to IP law firms go unanswered—especially critical during non-business hours when clients seek immediate guidance on patent prosecution timelines or respond to a trademark opposition notice. A missed call at 1:17 a.m. from a biotech startup seeking urgent utility patent filing advice could delay priority date claims by 30 days, jeopardizing global patent rights. With 60% of legal emergencies occurring after hours, failing to capture these inquiries risks losing high-value clients and exposing firms to liability for missed deadlines in trade secret protection or copyright registration.
Lost Filing Opportunities Due to Unreturned Voicemails in Copyright Registration and NDA Processes
50% of voicemails from potential clients requesting copyright registration or non-disclosure agreement (NDA) drafting go unreturned within 72 hours—often because paralegals are overwhelmed with prior art searches and IP portfolio management tasks. A missed call from a creator seeking to register a new design patent could result in a public disclosure that invalidates novelty, while delayed NDA intake risks exposing confidential trade secrets before formal protection is initiated.
Manual Client Intake Delays Patent Prosecution and Trademark Opposition Workflows
Paralegals spend an average of 30 minutes per call collecting client details for utility patent filings, design patent applications, or trademark opposition responses—time that could be spent on critical tasks like drafting claims or analyzing prior art. With 85% of callers hanging up without leaving a voicemail after reaching a busy line, firms lose access to high-intent leads who are ready to engage in IP portfolio management or respond to an IP infringement notice.

Real Results from Real Businesses
“Last winter, our AI receptionist caught a 1:30 a.m. call from a medical device startup worried about a design patent filing deadline. It remembered their prior art search from two weeks prior, asked about their provisional filing status, and booked a consultation with our lead patent attorney within 10 minutes. We secured the $185K retainer and filed the patent before the 12-month window closed. This isn’t automation—it’s a strategic partner in our patent prosecution workflow.”

“We were losing 42% of after-hours trademark inquiries—especially during the critical window for responding to a trademark opposition notice. Now, Answrr qualifies leads by asking about the mark’s class, goods/services, and whether they’ve filed a Statement of Use. It books appointments and sends automated NDA reminders. Our intake team now spends 7 hours/week less on call triage and 100% more on drafting opposition responses and managing IP portfolio audits.”

IP Case Manager, TechIP Legal Partners, Intellectual Property (IP) Law Firms
“One client called twice in one week—first about a utility patent, then about a trade secret protection strategy. The AI remembered both conversations and said, 'I see you’re working on a biotech patent and protecting your manufacturing process.' The client said, 'This feels like my legal team actually remembers me.' That level of continuity is critical when managing complex IP portfolios across multiple jurisdictions.”
