The High Cost of Missed IP Calls
Missed After-Hours Trademark Opposition Deadlines Due to Unanswered Calls
60% of legal emergencies in IP law occur after business hours—such as a sudden trademark opposition notice from the USPTO or a third-party challenge to a pending patent application. Without immediate response, firms risk missing critical 30-day deadlines for filing responses, resulting in abandoned applications or loss of rights. With 35% of calls going unanswered, many IP firms lose high-stakes opportunities to defend clients’ trademarks or patents during off-hours, especially during peak filing seasons like Q1 and Q4.
Lost Patent Prosecution Leads from Unanswered Intake Calls
Potential clients seeking patent prosecution services often call during off-peak hours or after hours, especially when they’ve just completed a prior art search and are ready to file. However, 80% of these callers never return after missing a live agent. This results in lost retainers for high-value utility and design patent filings, particularly in fast-moving tech sectors like AI, biotech, and semiconductor IP. The delay in qualifying leads also jeopardizes timely USPTO filing windows.
Inefficient Intake for Copyright Infringement Cases with Complex Evidence
Intake calls for copyright infringement matters often involve detailed discussions about digital assets, DMCA takedown notices, and evidence of unauthorized use. On average, these calls take 35–45 minutes to complete due to the need to collect URLs, timestamps, and proof of ownership. This drains legal staff from billable work and delays the filing of urgent cease-and-desist letters or preliminary injunctions, especially when competitors are actively exploiting protected content.

Real Results from Real Businesses
“We were days behind on a critical trademark opposition to a competitor’s AI-powered SaaS product—our team was off-site, and the USPTO deadline was 48 hours away. Our AI agent picked up the call at 10:47 PM, collected the opposition notice number, and automatically scheduled a consultation with our lead attorney. We filed the response on time. That’s the kind of emergency response no human receptionist could match.”

Our intake conversion rate has doubled—from 18% to 36%—and we’ve secured 14 new patent prosecution clients in the past 6 months.”
David Chen
Managing Attorney, InnovatePatent Law, Intellectual Property (IP) Law Firms
“I run a boutique IP firm focused on copyright infringement for digital creators. I didn’t know how to set up a phone system—until the AI onboarding assistant asked me about our services, built a custom agent in 8 minutes, and started handling calls for DMCA takedowns and licensing disputes. Now, we’ve processed 23 urgent copyright cases in Q1—up from 9 last year—with zero missed deadlines.”
