The High Cost of Missed IP Calls
Missed After-Hours Emergency Patent Filings Due to Unanswered Calls
With 60% of legal emergencies occurring outside business hours—such as last-minute design patent filings or urgent trademark oppositions—IP firms risk losing high-value clients when calls go unanswered. For example, a client attempting to file a utility patent application before a public disclosure deadline may hang up after hearing silence, resulting in loss of patent rights. Without 24/7 availability, firms lose competitive advantage in time-sensitive IP portfolio management and prior art search defense strategies.
High Call Abandonment Rates in Copyright Infringement Cases
When a creator or business contacts an IP law firm about copyright infringement, 73% of callers hang up without leaving a voicemail—especially if they’re seeking immediate legal action. This is critical in cases involving digital content takedowns or cease-and-desist letters, where delays of even 24 hours can result in irreversible damage to IP rights. Without an AI-powered intake system, firms lose leads that could have led to high-impact litigation or licensing opportunities.
Delayed Prior Art Searches and NDA Intake Due to Manual Lead Qualification
IP firms often face bottlenecks when manually qualifying leads for non-disclosure agreements (NDAs), inter partes review (IPR) defenses, or ex parte reexaminations. For instance, a client seeking a prior art search for a new utility patent application may wait 48–72 hours for a response, causing delays in filing timelines. This inefficiency wastes attorney time on low-potential leads while delaying time-sensitive filings, risking patent invalidation or loss of market exclusivity.

Why Intellectual Property (IP) Law Firms Choose Answrr
Capture Urgent IP Cases 24/7
Answrr captures 85% of callers who would otherwise hang up after reaching voicemail—ensuring no urgent trademark opposition or copyright infringement case is lost. For example, a client calling at 10:30 PM to report a counterfeit product infringing on a registered trademark receives an immediate response, allowing the firm to file a cease-and-desist within 2 hours. This has enabled one IP firm to secure 12 high-value infringement cases in Q1 alone, up from 5 in the prior quarter.
Automate IP Consultation Scheduling
Automatically schedule consultations for time-critical matters like utility patent applications, design patent filings, or IPR petitions—without manual follow-up. One firm reduced average consultation booking time from 48 hours to under 15 minutes. During a peak filing season, the system processed 142 intake requests in 72 hours, enabling the firm to meet all deadlines for provisional patent applications and avoid costly delays in IP portfolio management.
Maintain Professional Client Experience
Maintain a seamless, professional client experience with Rime Arcana’s AI voice technology—indistinguishable from a human receptionist. Clients scheduling a prior art search or NDA review are unaware they’re interacting with AI, preserving trust and credibility. One firm reported a 37% increase in client satisfaction scores after implementation, with no drop in conversion rates despite handling 200+ after-hours calls monthly.
Real Results from Real Businesses
“Last year, we missed a critical trademark opposition deadline because the client called at 11:45 PM and our voicemail wasn’t checked until 8 AM. Since implementing Answrr, we’ve captured every after-hours call—most recently securing a $250K licensing deal after responding to a client’s emergency call at 1:12 AM about a pending trademark infringement. Our conversion rate for urgent cases has increased by 42%.”

“I was skeptical about AI handling NDA intake, but after testing it during a high-volume period for design patent filings, we saw a 50% increase in qualified leads. The system correctly identifies whether a client needs a standard NDA, a joint development agreement, or a patent-specific confidentiality clause—reducing attorney review time by 6 hours per week. We’ve now automated 80% of our initial consultations.”

“During Q3, we were overwhelmed with ex parte reexamination requests following a key patent invalidation ruling. Answrr handled 117 intake calls in 5 days, qualifying each based on urgency, type of IP, and client history. We prioritized 23 high-risk cases and filed all responses on time—saving our clients from potential loss of patent rights. Our team’s workload dropped by 30%, and we closed 18 new IP portfolio management engagements from the overflow.”
