The High-Stakes Cost of Missed IP Calls
Missed Deadlines in Patent Prosecution and Trademark Opposition Due to Unanswered Calls
IP law firms routinely miss critical deadlines—such as the 12-month window to file a non-provisional utility patent application after a provisional filing or the 30-day response period in a trademark opposition proceeding—because calls from inventors and brand owners go unanswered. With 60% of legal calls going unanswered, firms risk losing priority dates, forfeiting patent rights, or losing trademark registrations. For example, a delayed response to a client’s call about a design patent application could result in a competitor securing the same IP before the firm files, jeopardizing the client’s exclusive rights.
Competitors Secure High-Value IP Infringement Claims Due to Faster Response Times
When a client calls at 11 p.m. reporting a third party using their patented technology—such as a utility patent in the medical device space—without an AI phone agent, the firm misses the opportunity to respond within the crucial first five minutes. According to industry data, 82% of potential clients who don’t get an immediate response go to a competitor. This is especially damaging in cases involving inter partes review (IPR) filings, where timing determines whether a patent survives a challenge. A delayed response can mean losing a client to a firm that answers instantly and schedules an emergency consultation.
Intake Teams Overwhelmed by Low-Priority Calls, Delaying High-Stakes IP Litigation
IP attorneys and intake staff spend an average of 40% of their time managing non-urgent calls—such as inquiries about trademark renewals or general NDA drafting—instead of focusing on high-value matters like preparing for an ex parte reexamination or defending a utility patent in litigation. Without 24/7 availability, teams waste hours manually logging leads, scheduling follow-ups, and chasing clients who hang up after 30 seconds. This inefficiency directly impacts case readiness and client acquisition in time-sensitive IP environments.

Why Intellectual Property (IP) Law Firms Choose Answrr
Capture Every High-Value IP Inquiry
An AI phone agent captures every inbound call about urgent IP infringement claims—such as a client discovering a competitor using their patented manufacturing process—within seconds, even at 2:17 a.m. The system instantly collects key details (e.g., priority date, patent number, nature of infringement) and schedules a consultation with a senior IP attorney within 15 minutes. This ensures the firm is first to respond, increasing the chance of securing the client for a high-stakes litigation engagement. For example, one firm captured a $250,000 IP infringement claim that would have been lost due to a missed call.
Book Appointments in Real Time
The AI agent syncs with Calendly and GoHighLevel to instantly book consultations for time-sensitive IP matters like inter partes review (IPR) filings, which require a response within 30 days of a petition. When a client calls about a pending IPR, the AI confirms the client’s availability, checks attorney calendars, and books a 30-minute strategy session within 8 minutes—eliminating lost follow-ups and ensuring the firm meets procedural deadlines. One firm reduced its average intake-to-consultation time from 48 hours to under 15 minutes, increasing client retention by 63%.
Maintain Credibility with Instant Responses
The AI maintains continuity across client interactions by recalling past case details—such as a client’s prior provisional application, the priority date, or a history of trademark oppositions—so when they call again about a reexamination request, the system instantly references the case file. This creates a seamless experience, reinforcing credibility and trust. For instance, a client calling about a design patent reexamination received a personalized response referencing their 2021 filing and prior correspondence, which led to a 90% satisfaction rate and a referral to a second client.
Real Results from Real Businesses
“We were losing nearly 35% of our IP leads—especially from inventors in biotech and cleantech—because our intake team was offline after 6 p.m. After implementing Answrr, we captured every call about provisional applications and trademark oppositions, even during weekends. In just three months, our intake volume increased by 110%, and we secured two high-value utility patent litigation cases that would have been lost otherwise.”

“I was skeptical about AI handling complex IP calls, but the Rime Arcana voice is so natural that clients don’t realize they’re talking to a bot. When a client called at 1:45 a.m. about a competitor infringing their design patent, the AI asked for the priority date, confirmed the filing status, and scheduled a consultation with our lead attorney within 12 minutes. The client later said, 'You answered faster than my own team.' That’s how we won the case.”

Director of Client Experience, IP Nexus Partners, Intellectual Property (IP) Law Firms
“Our firm handles a high volume of ex parte reexamination requests, and missing a single deadline could mean losing a patent. With Answrr, we now capture every call—even at 3 a.m.—and the AI remembers the client’s history. When a client called about a reexamination of a utility patent filed in 2020, the AI pulled up the original application, the priority date, and prior correspondence. The client was impressed and referred us to two other clients in the same sector.”
