The High-Stakes Cost of Missed IP Calls
Missed After-Hours Emergency Calls During Critical Patent Prosecution Deadlines
With 60% of legal emergencies occurring after business hours, IP law firms risk losing clients who need immediate action on time-sensitive matters such as responding to an Office Action within the 3-month deadline, filing a PCT international application before the 12-month priority date expires, or initiating a Trademark opposition within the 30-day window after publication. A missed call during a weekend or holiday can result in irreversible loss of rights, especially when a client’s trade secret protection is threatened by an IP infringement notice from a competitor.
Lost High-Value IP Leads from Unanswered Consultations on Trademark Oppositions and Inter Partes Reviews
When a startup or tech company calls seeking urgent legal counsel on a trademark opposition or preparing for an Inter Partes Review (IPR) challenge, a missed call means the opportunity is lost. With 35% of law firm calls going unanswered and 80% of potential clients never returning, firms miss out on high-value cases involving complex IP litigation, particularly those requiring rapid drafting of a Non-Disclosure Agreement (NDA) or pre-filing strategy for a patent application.
Inconsistent Lead Qualification for Priority Date-Driven IP Filings
Many callers seeking assistance with patent prosecution or PCT international filing are unaware of their priority date requirements. Without automated screening, firms lose critical details—such as whether the invention was publicly disclosed, if a provisional application was filed, or if an Ex Parte Appeal is pending—leading to missed opportunities. Of the 73% of callers who hang up without leaving a voicemail, many were potential clients needing immediate guidance on securing a priority date before a competitor files.

Real Results from Real Businesses
“We lost a major patent prosecution client last year because we missed a call on a Sunday night—our client was trying to file a PCT application before the 12-month priority date. Since switching to Answrr, we’ve captured 14 emergency calls during weekends, including one for a trademark opposition that saved a client’s brand from being canceled. The AI even remembers prior case details and routes urgent matters to the right attorney—like a 24/7 intake partner who knows IP law.”

“I was skeptical about AI handling trademark opposition calls, but the system correctly identifies urgency—like when a client says ‘I just saw a conflicting trademark published’—and flags it for immediate review. In the first quarter, we booked 27 new cases from after-hours calls, including one involving a high-profile trade secret protection request that led to a $1.2M retainer.”
