The Cost of Missed IP Intake Calls
Missed After-Hours Calls for Urgent Patent Filings and Trademark Oppositions
Solo practitioners and small IP law firms miss up to 90% of after-hours calls—critical moments when inventors need immediate protection for a provisional application or when a trademark opposition deadline looms. A client calling at 11:30 p.m. about an IP infringement notice may never return if their call goes to voicemail, especially when the firm’s line is busy or the voicemail box is full. This results in lost opportunities to file a timely response to an Office Action or initiate an inter partes review (IPR) before a third party secures rights.
30-Minute Intake Calls Delay Patent Prosecution and Trademark Opposition Strategy
Attorneys spend an average of 30 minutes per intake call gathering basic information—such as prior art search results, NDA status, and details on the invention’s novelty—before even beginning to assess the case. This time could otherwise be used to draft claims for a patent application, prepare a trademark opposition brief, or respond to a Section 14(3) notice. With 557 million calls annually to U.S. law firms and 195 million missed due to unanswered lines, every minute spent on intake is a direct loss to billable hours and case progression.
Incomplete Voicemails Compromise Legal Strategy and Client Retention
When a client leaves a voicemail about a pending trademark opposition or a potential IP infringement notice, incomplete messages—missing key details like the date of first use, prior art references, or whether a non-disclosure agreement (NDA) has been signed—lead to delayed follow-ups. With 50% of voicemails unreturned within 72 hours, firms risk missing critical deadlines for filing a response to an Office Action or initiating an IPR, jeopardizing client retention and case viability.

Why Intellectual Property (IP) Law Firms Choose Answrr
Capture High-Value IP Leads 24/7
Our AI Voice Agent captures high-value IP leads 24/7—handling urgent calls about filing a provisional application, responding to a trademark opposition, or addressing an IP infringement notice. For example, a client calling at 2:15 a.m. about a competitor’s unauthorized use of a patented process is immediately engaged, with the AI collecting the invention’s technical details, prior art references, and NDA status—then scheduling a consultation within 15 minutes. This ensures no critical deadline is missed and preserves the firm’s reputation for responsiveness.
Protect Client Trust with Consistent Communication
By automating intake calls, IP attorneys reclaim up to 12 hours per week—time previously spent on basic client qualification. For example, one firm reduced intake call duration from 30 minutes to 5 minutes, allowing their team to file 4 additional provisional applications and respond to 3 Office Actions per month. This directly translates to increased revenue and faster case progression in high-stakes matters like inter partes review (IPR) filings.
Free Up Your Team for Billable Work
The AI ensures consistent, professional communication—even during off-hours—by instantly acknowledging every inquiry and collecting essential case details. When a client calls at 1:45 a.m. about an IP infringement notice, the AI confirms receipt, asks targeted questions (e.g., ‘Is this related to a registered trademark or a design patent?’), and sends a summary email with next steps—all before the attorney even logs in. This level of responsiveness strengthens client trust and positions the firm as a reliable partner in fast-moving IP disputes.
Real Results from Real Businesses
“We had a client call at 1:17 a.m. about a competitor filing a trademark application that directly conflicts with our client’s pending mark. Our AI answered, collected the filing date, the goods/services list, and whether a prior art search had been done—then scheduled a consultation for 8 a.m. The client was so impressed with the immediate response that they signed a retainer that same day. This is the kind of responsiveness that wins high-value IP cases.”

“Before the AI, I spent 25–30 minutes per intake call just confirming if the invention was novel, whether prior art had been searched, and if an NDA was in place. Now, the AI asks those questions, qualifies the lead, books the appointment, and sends a summary to my team—freeing me to focus on drafting claims for a complex patent prosecution. We’ve filed 18 more provisional applications this year, and our client retention is up 30%.”

“Last month, a client called at 11:50 p.m. about an IP infringement notice involving a utility patent. The AI collected the infringement details, confirmed the client had a prior art search on file, and scheduled a consultation for 9 a.m. the next day. We filed a preliminary response within 48 hours—well before the deadline. The client later said, ‘You were the only firm that answered at 11:50 p.m.’ That’s the kind of trust we’ve built with AI-powered responsiveness.”
