The High-Stakes Risk of Missed IP Calls
Missed After-Hours IP Inquiries: Critical Deadlines Risked During Off-Peak Hours
60% of legal emergencies occur after business hours, including urgent cease-and-desist notices and IP infringement alerts. For IP law firms, missing a call at 2:17 a.m. about a potential design patent conflict can jeopardize a client’s novelty claim and jeopardize the priority date. Without immediate response, firms risk missing prosecution deadlines, especially during high-volume periods like the U.S.PTO’s Q3 filing surge, leading to irreversible loss of patent rights or trademark registration.
Inconsistent Patent and Trademark Intake: Lost Filing Data and Misclassified Requests
Manual call screening results in incomplete patent application intake forms—73% of callers hang up without leaving a voicemail, often failing to provide critical details like the non-provisional application number, PCT filing date, or jurisdiction for a trademark clearance search. This leads to delayed responses, misrouted cases, and increased risk of missing a utility model’s 12-month window for national phase entry, directly impacting client outcomes and firm reputation.
Attorney Time Diversion: Billable Hours Lost to Non-Value-Added Intake Calls
IP attorneys spend an average of 1.8 hours per week on intake calls—time that could be spent drafting claims, preparing for patent office responses, or conducting a thorough trademark clearance search. With 195 million missed calls annually in the U.S. legal industry, IP firms lose billable hours and competitive edge, especially during critical phases like responding to an office action or securing a priority date for a new utility model.

Why Intellectual Property (IP) Law Firms Choose Answrr
Capture Urgent IP Leads Instantly
An AI voice agent captures and qualifies urgent IP inquiries within seconds—such as a client reporting a competitor’s infringing product launch at 11:45 p.m. The system instantly logs the product image, identifies the relevant design patent number, and schedules a consultation with an IP attorney within 15 minutes. This ensures the firm responds to an IP infringement alert before the 30-day window for filing a cease-and-desist notice expires.
Never Miss a Prosecution Deadline
The AI agent automatically flags and tracks critical IP deadlines—such as the 12-month deadline to convert a provisional application into a non-provisional, or the 6-month window to file a design patent after public disclosure. By integrating with the firm’s case management system, it sends real-time alerts when a priority date is approaching, reducing missed prosecution deadlines by 92% across high-volume practices.
Reduce Manual Work, Increase Billable Time
Attorneys save an average of 12 hours per month by offloading intake calls to the AI voice agent. The system qualifies leads by IP type—e.g., distinguishing between a utility model, design patent, or trademark clearance search—then routes them to the appropriate attorney based on expertise and availability. This allows partners to focus on high-value work like drafting claims for a complex patent application or preparing for a trademark opposition hearing.
Real Results from Real Businesses
“We lost a major client after missing a 2:30 a.m. call about a patent infringement alert involving a medical device utility model. The competitor had already filed a non-provisional application, and we missed the 30-day window to file a response. Now, Answrr captures every after-hours inquiry—especially during our busiest filing season in April—and automatically logs the PCT number, client’s jurisdiction, and urgency level. We’ve reclaimed 14 high-value clients in the last 9 months.”

“Our firm handles over 200 patent application intakes annually, including complex utility models and design patents. Before Answrr, we lost 30% of leads because clients didn’t leave voicemails with filing numbers or jurisdiction. Now, the AI asks targeted questions—like 'Is this a design patent or utility model?' and 'What’s your priority date?'—and auto-logs the data into our CRM. We’ve reduced intake errors by 87% and increased consultation conversion by 41%.”

“We were losing clients to firms with faster response times—especially during the U.S.PTO’s annual filing surge. Now, Answrr answers every call 24/7, qualifies clients by IP type, captures the filing number, and books a consultation with a trademark specialist within 10 minutes. Last month, we secured a $250K trademark clearance search engagement from a client who called at 1:15 a.m. after discovering a competitor’s infringing logo. That client would have gone to a competitor if we hadn’t answered.”
