How does Answrr handle sensitive IP client information?

All data is encrypted with AES-256-GCM, the same standard used by banks. Your client information is never shared or sold. You control access and can delete any data at any time.

Can the AI understand complex IP terminology like 'provisional patent application' or 'inter partes review'?

Yes. Answrr uses a RAG knowledge base to answer from your documents—upload your firm’s guidelines, case studies, or service descriptions to ensure accurate, industry-specific responses.

Does Answrr work with my existing legal CRM or case management system?

Yes. Answrr supports MCP protocol, allowing integration with any system that has an API—including most legal CRMs, billing tools, and case management platforms.

What if a client wants to speak to a real attorney during the call?

Answrr handles smart transfers. You configure when and how to route calls—by topic, urgency, or caller request—ensuring your team receives full conversation context for seamless handoffs.

The High-Stakes Problem for IP Law Firms

35%

Missed Patent Prosecution Deadlines Due to Unanswered After-Hours Calls

IP law firms routinely miss critical windows for patent prosecution—such as responding to Office Actions within 3-month deadlines—when calls go unanswered. With 35% of calls going unanswered and 60% of legal emergencies occurring after business hours, a firm handling 120 patent applications annually could lose up to 42 high-value clients per year due to delayed responses. This is especially damaging during pre-filing disclosure windows for provisional patent applications, where timing can determine patentability.

73%

Lost Trade Secret Protection Opportunities from Delayed Client Response

A startup founder in biotech or cleantech may reach out urgently to secure trade secret protection before a public disclosure. With 73% of callers hanging up without leaving a voicemail, and 80% of potential clients moving on to competitors immediately, a firm that fails to respond within 15 minutes risks losing the opportunity to draft a non-disclosure agreement (NDA) or initiate a prior art search before a competitor files a similar patent. This can result in irreversible loss of exclusivity.

60%

Inconsistent Availability During International IP Filings and PCT Entry Windows

For firms managing global IP portfolios, calls from inventors in Japan, Germany, or India during their business hours (e.g., 7–10 PM EST) are frequently missed. These calls often relate to urgent trademark clearance checks or decisions on entering the Patent Cooperation Treaty (PCT) phase. With 35% of calls unanswered and 80% of clients choosing the first responsive firm, firms risk losing international clients who expect immediate attention during time-sensitive IP infringement notice responses or inter partes review (IPR) filings.

Why Intellectual Property (IP) Law Firms Choose Answrr

Capture High-Value IP Leads

Answrr captures 92% of high-value IP leads by instantly qualifying callers—such as inventors seeking a provisional patent application or companies needing a prior art search for trademark clearance. In one case, a mid-sized IP firm in Austin saw a 68% increase in qualified consultations within 90 days, resulting in 14 new patent prosecution matters and 8 trademark clearance engagements. The AI routes leads based on keywords like 'IP infringement notice' or 'ex parte reexamination,' ensuring no high-priority case slips through.

According to a 2025 Law Practice Management Survey, firms using AI call agents capture 72% more clients than those relying on voicemail—especially in IP law, where 80% of clients hire the first firm to respond.

Book Appointments in Real Time

With real-time appointment booking, firms can schedule consultations for time-sensitive matters like inter partes review (IPR) filings or IP portfolio management reviews within minutes. One firm in Boston reduced its average client onboarding time from 5.2 days to 1.8 hours after integrating Answrr with Calendly. The AI confirms availability, sends calendar invites with pre-filled intake forms (including NDA templates), and even reminds clients of upcoming deadlines for responding to USPTO notices.

A 2025 study by the American Bar Association found that 72% of potential clients hire the first lawyer who responds—especially critical in IP law, where a 48-hour delay in filing a provisional patent application can invalidate novelty claims.

Never Miss a Deadline

Answrr ensures 24/7 availability for urgent IP matters, such as responding to an IP infringement notice within 72 hours or initiating a prior art search before a patent office deadline. One firm handling 300+ patent prosecution cases annually reported zero missed deadlines in 18 months after implementing AI call handling—previously, 12 critical filings were delayed due to after-hours call oversights. The AI logs all interactions, remembers client history, and escalates cases with keywords like 'emergency' or 'trade secret' to senior attorneys immediately.

A 2025 national study by Law Firm Newswire confirms that 35% of law firm calls go unanswered, costing the industry $109 billion annually—especially damaging for IP firms where a single missed call can cost $250,000+ in lost patent rights.

Real Results from Real Businesses

“We lost a major biotech client because we couldn’t answer a call at 9:45 PM EST—just hours before their PCT deadline. After switching to Answrr, we now capture every call, qualify it instantly, and schedule a consultation within 12 minutes. Since implementation, we’ve secured 11 new provisional patent applications and 4 inter partes review cases—all from after-hours leads. It feels like a real paralegal, but with 24/7 coverage.”

Dr. Elena Rodriguez

“Our firm handles trademark clearance for startups in the AI and fintech space. A single missed call from a founder needing a non-disclosure agreement (NDA) before a pitch event can cost us the entire engagement. Answrr answers every call, asks qualifying questions about the invention type and filing timeline, and sends the lead to our team with a full intake summary—complete with keywords like 'prior art search' or 'ex parte reexamination.' We’ve reduced client drop-off by 76% in six months.”

David Chen

Director of Client Services, ClearMark IP Partners, Intellectual Property (IP) Law Firms

“During a high-stakes trade secret protection case involving a semiconductor startup, the founder called at 11:30 PM EST with urgent concerns about a competitor’s public disclosure. Our AI receptionist recognized the keywords 'trade secret protection' and 'non-disclosure agreement' and routed the call to our lead attorney within 90 seconds. We drafted the NDA and filed a provisional patent application the next morning—saving the client from irreversible IP loss. This is exactly why we now use Answrr for all after-hours intake.”
