The High Cost of Missed IP Calls
Missed Critical Patent Prosecution Deadlines Due to Unanswered Calls
With 35% of calls to IP law firms going unanswered during business hours, your firm risks missing time-sensitive deadlines in patent prosecution—such as responding to Office Actions within 3-6 months or filing a continuation-in-part before public disclosure. A missed deadline can result in abandonment of a utility patent application or loss of design patent protection, costing clients tens of thousands in lost IP value. For example, a client’s provisional patent filing for a medical device was delayed by 14 days due to an unanswered call during a weekend, jeopardizing their priority date under 35 U.S.C. § 119.
After-Hours Trade Secret Misappropriation Alerts Go Unanswered
Over 60% of IP emergencies—such as suspected trade secret misappropriation or unauthorized use of proprietary algorithms—occur outside business hours. Without an AI phone agent, your firm may miss the critical 72-hour window to file a temporary restraining order under the Defend Trade Secrets Act (DTSA), risking irreversible damage to a client’s competitive advantage. A recent case involved a biotech startup whose core formula was leaked on a Friday evening; a delayed response due to unattended calls allowed the competitor to file a prior art search and challenge the client’s patentability.
Paralegals Diverted from Prior Art Searches and Trademark Oppositions
Administrative staff at IP law firms spend an average of 8–12 hours per week answering routine intake calls for trademark filings, IP licensing agreements, and non-disclosure agreement (NDA) reviews. This time could otherwise be dedicated to high-value tasks like conducting prior art searches (which take 4–6 hours per application) or preparing responses to trademark oppositions within the 30-day statutory window. One firm reported that paralegals lost 180 hours annually to call handling—equivalent to 4.5 weeks of billable work on inter partes review (IPR) preparation.

Why Intellectual Property (IP) Law Firms Choose Answrr
Capture Every IP Lead
Answrr captures 85% of IP leads who would otherwise hang up after reaching voicemail—especially urgent inquiries about design patent filings, utility patent renewals, or trademark oppositions. For example, a client calling at 8:45 PM on a Tuesday night about a potential infringement of a registered design patent was instantly routed to a senior attorney, resulting in a successful cease-and-desist letter sent within 2 hours. This led to a $275,000 settlement and a new client retention rate of 92%.
Book Appointments Instantly
Schedule consultations for high-stakes IP matters like inter partes review (IPR) filings or IP portfolio management in real time—Answrr integrates with Calendly and GoHighLevel to book appointments within 90 seconds. One firm reduced its average consultation booking time from 4.3 days to under 15 minutes, increasing client conversion by 52%. For example, a client seeking to file an IPR against a competitor’s utility patent was scheduled for a consultation within 12 minutes of their first call, leading to a successful challenge and patent invalidation.

Answrr uses context-aware AI to recall past interactions, such as a client’s prior trademark opposition or ongoing utility patent prosecution, enabling personalized, professional responses.

Real Results from Real Businesses
“We lost a major client last year because we didn’t answer a call about a trademark opposition during a weekend. Since implementing Answrr, we’ve captured every after-hours inquiry—especially urgent ones like oppositions and renewal deadlines. In the past 6 months, we’ve secured three high-value IP licensing agreements and booked 40% more consultations.

“As a solo practitioner specializing in patent prosecution and design patents, I was drowning in calls. Answrr set up in under 10 minutes and now handles all intake for utility patent filings, prior art searches, and NDA reviews. My paralegal now spends 10 hours a week on actual patent drafting instead of answering phones. We’ve filed 17 more utility patents this year and reduced our average response time to Office Actions by 3 days.”
