The High Cost of Missed IP Calls
Missed After-Hours Inquiries in Time-Sensitive IP Matters
60% of critical IP events—such as a competitor’s design patent filing or an infringement notice—occur outside business hours. Yet, 67% of IP clients expect immediate response, and without 24/7 availability, firms risk losing high-value leads. For example, a missed call during a 12-week window for a utility patent application can result in loss of priority, jeopardizing the entire prosecution strategy. Firms relying on voicemail miss up to 74% of these urgent inquiries, directly impacting their ability to secure IP portfolio management mandates.
Delayed Responses Undermine Conversion in High-Stakes IP Cases
Law firms that respond within five minutes see a 400% higher conversion rate—yet 85% of callers who reach voicemail never return. In IP law, where deadlines like the 12-month window for a design patent filing or the 90-day window to respond to a trademark opposition are non-negotiable, even a 30-minute delay can result in missed opportunities. A firm losing a single high-value client due to delayed intake could forfeit $15,000+ in annual retainers for IP due diligence or inter partes review (IPR) services.
Inconsistent Intake Risks Missed Deadlines in Patent and Copyright Filings
Without automated intake, IP firms face significant risk of human error during high-volume periods. For instance, a missed call during a copyright registration surge—such as a client launching a new software platform—can delay the filing by days, potentially invalidating the claim to first publication. Similarly, a delayed utility patent application due to intake overload can cost a client the right to claim priority under the Paris Convention. With 74% of callers abandoning after being routed to voicemail, firms lose critical leads before even qualifying them.

Why Intellectual Property (IP) Law Firms Choose Answrr
Capture Urgent IP Leads 24/7
An AI phone agent captures every after-hours inquiry—such as a sudden infringement notice from a competitor’s product launch or an urgent NDA consultation before a product launch. The system instantly qualifies the lead, asking targeted questions like 'Is this related to a design patent filing?' or 'Are you responding to a trademark opposition?' and routes high-priority cases to senior attorneys within 90 seconds, ensuring no time-sensitive IP matter is delayed.
Qualify High-Value Inquiries Automatically
The AI automatically qualifies leads by identifying urgent IP matters such as inter partes review (IPR) petitions, oppositions to pending patent applications, or requests for IP due diligence before a merger. It asks context-aware questions—e.g., 'Is this related to a utility patent application filed in the last 6 months?' or 'Are you seeking copyright registration for a new digital product?'—and prioritizes cases based on legal urgency, ensuring that critical filings are flagged and assigned within minutes.
Cut Intake Costs Without Sacrificing Quality
By automating intake for routine inquiries—such as copyright registration follow-ups, NDA consultation requests, or status updates on patent prosecution—firms reduce reliance on administrative staff. The AI handles 12+ concurrent calls simultaneously, freeing up paralegals and associates to focus on high-impact work like drafting claims for a utility patent application or preparing for an inter partes review (IPR). This results in a 30% increase in billable hours per attorney per quarter.
Real Results from Real Businesses
“We lost a key client last year because we missed a call about a design patent filing just 48 hours before the deadline. Since implementing Answrr, we’ve captured every after-hours inquiry—especially during critical windows like the 12-week period before a utility patent application must be filed. The AI even remembers past filings and flags recurring issues, like a client’s history with trademark oppositions. It’s like having a 24/7 intake partner who understands IP deadlines and priorities.”

“Before AI, we were losing nearly 30% of potential clients to voicemail—especially during peak seasons like copyright registration filings for new software launches. Now, Answrr qualifies each call in real time, asking whether it’s for a copyright registration, IP due diligence, or an infringement notice. It even checks if the client has previously filed a design patent. We’ve reduced intake time by 65% and increased consultations booked by 50%—all while maintaining a professional, human-like tone.”
David Chen
Director of Client Acquisition, Summit IP Legal Group, Intellectual Property (IP) Law Firms
“Our team was overwhelmed handling NDA consultations and infringement notices during the holiday season. Now, the AI agent handles all inbound calls, remembers past concerns like a client’s last inter partes review (IPR) filing, and escalates urgent cases immediately. One client even praised the system for ‘feeling like a real person’—and we’ve since secured two major IP portfolio management retainers from those initial AI-qualified leads.”
