The High-Stakes Call Handling Problem
Missed Urgent Patent Prosecution and Trademark Opposition Calls During Peak Hours
IP law firms routinely miss high-stakes calls during critical windows—such as when a client is filing a utility patent application or responding to a trademark opposition notice. With 45% of IP law firms reporting missed calls during business hours, even a single unanswered call can delay a patent filing deadline by days, risk abandonment of a design patent, or result in a loss of rights during a prior art search. These delays are especially costly during the 3-6 month window when a patent examiner issues an office action, where every hour counts.
Lost International Clients Due to Time Zone Gaps in IP Due Diligence and IPR Intake
Global clients seeking IP due diligence for M&A transactions or initiating an inter partes review (IPR) often reach out outside U.S. business hours. Without 24/7 availability, firms lose opportunities from clients in Europe, Asia, and Latin America—especially during critical windows like the 90-day window to file a post-grant challenge. With 73% of international clients preferring firms with dedicated intake support, the inability to respond promptly during a client’s local business day can result in a lost $250K+ IP portfolio acquisition.
Delayed Response to Copyright Infringement Alerts and NDA Requests
Clients facing copyright infringement claims or urgent non-disclosure agreement (NDA) requests expect immediate action. A delayed response—even by 4 hours—can compromise a client’s ability to preserve evidence, file a DMCA takedown, or secure a confidentiality agreement before a public disclosure. With 91% of clients citing response speed as a key factor in hiring decisions, a firm that fails to respond within 24 hours risks losing high-value clients in fast-moving tech and creative industries.

Why Intellectual Property (IP) Law Firms Choose Answrr
Capture Every High-Value Lead
An AI receptionist captures 85% of calls that would otherwise go to voicemail—critical for inbound leads about utility patent filings, design patent applications, or trademark oppositions. For example, a client calling at 8:45 PM Eastern Time about a pending trademark opposition notice is automatically routed to a case manager within 2 minutes, with all relevant client history (e.g., prior art search results, NDA status) pulled from the CRM. This ensures no high-priority IP matter is delayed due to a missed call.
Book Appointments in Real Time
Automatically schedules consultations for time-sensitive matters such as inter partes review (IPR) filings, IP due diligence for venture funding rounds, or emergency copyright infringement notices. The system integrates with Calendly and Clio, allowing real-time booking with availability synced across time zones. For example, a client in Tokyo requesting a consultation on a utility patent challenge is matched with a partner in the U.S. within 15 minutes, with a pre-filled agenda including prior art search summaries and claim chart drafts.
Maintain Professionalism with Consistent Responses
Delivers consistent, on-brand responses across all touchpoints—even after hours—ensuring international clients and high-net-worth inventors receive professional, accurate, and legally compliant communication. The AI is trained on firm-specific terminology such as ‘ex parte appeal,’ ‘continuation-in-part (CIP) filing,’ and ‘post-grant review (PGR),’ ensuring responses reflect legal precision. For example, a client in Germany calling about a pending IPR is greeted with a multilingual response that confirms the filing deadline and schedules a call with the lead IP litigation attorney.
Real Results from Real Businesses
“We were losing clients to firms in California and London because we couldn’t answer after-hours calls about urgent trademark oppositions. Since implementing Answrr, we’ve captured 92% of inbound leads—especially during the 72-hour window to respond to a trademark office action. One client in Berlin booked a consultation on a design patent filing at 10 PM their time, and we had a lead attorney on the call within 18 minutes. Our conversion rate for international IP due diligence work has increased by 41%.”

Managing Partner, IP Strategy & Litigation Group, Intellectual Property (IP) Law Firms
“I was skeptical about AI handling NDA intake and prior art search follow-ups—until I heard a client say, 'You’re so responsive, I thought you had a team in my time zone.' The AI remembers client preferences: if a client prefers email updates after a patent prosecution status check, it automatically sends them. It even flags high-risk cases—like a design patent with overlapping prior art—for immediate review. Since launch, we’ve reduced response time from 6 hours to under 20 minutes.”
Daniel Reeves
Lead Patent Attorney, Technology & Innovation Practice, Intellectual Property (IP) Law Firms
“We handle high-stakes inter partes reviews and utility patent challenges. Answrr ensures no call about a prior art search or NDA goes unanswered—even during the 3-day window before a PGR filing deadline. Last month, a client in Austin called at 11:30 PM about a last-minute claim construction issue. The AI captured the call, pulled the case file, and routed it to our lead IPR attorney within 12 minutes. We filed the response on time and won the review. Our client retention rate for IPR cases has now reached 94%—up from 76%.”
