THE PATENT DRAWING SYSTEM

One standardized way to create, revise, and manage patent drawings

For attorneys, paralegals, engineers, inventors, and IP teams — productive in hours, not weeks. No drafting background required.

The IP DaVinci Patent Drawing System™ gives patent professionals and inventors a structured, Microsoft Visio-based workflow to create compliant, editable patent figures — without vendor dependence or drafting chaos.
Built for teams who want internal capability — not redraw cycles.

💡 Browser-based Cloud access available for mixed-device environments (Mac, iPad, Linux, locked-down IT).

What Is the IP DaVinci System?

Training + Templates + Optional Support — all built around one shared workflow.

After 30+ years in the patent drawing ecosystem, I saw the same pattern everywhere:

Patent teams and inventors were not trained in drawing workflows or tools. Figures were created ad hoc. Revisions required redraws. Vendors rebuilt the same diagrams repeatedly.

The IP DaVinci Patent Drawing System™ solves this at the system level.

It combines:

  • Role-based Training — so non-drafters become productive quickly
  • Toolkit Templates + Stencils — so formatting and standards are built-in
  • Optional Cloud Workspace — Visio in the browser for mixed-device teams
  • Optional Studio Services — for overflow or complex matters

The result:

  • Faster figure turnaround
  • Fewer redraw cycles
  • Lower drafting spend
  • Reclaimed internal hours
  • Long-term editable deliverables

What changes when everyone uses one system

Consistency first. Speed follows.

Recovered Internal Hours

Reduce revision loops and coordination overhead across legal, R&D, and support roles.

  • Fewer clarification cycles
  • Less vendor back-and-forth
  • More time on real work

Fewer Redraws

Figures evolve with claims instead of being recreated at each stage.

  • Cleaner first drafts
  • Simpler prosecution updates
  • More predictable timelines

Faster Daily Production

Standardization removes repetitive setup work.

  • Routine figures in minutes
  • Reusable layouts
  • Built-in compliance structure

Cross-Team Alignment

Engineering, legal, and support roles collaborate in the same editable source file.

  • Disclosures → filings
  • Internal → external teams
  • Consistent formatting across matters

Future-Proof Deliverables

Drawings remain editable assets — not locked files.

  • No dependency on redraw vendors
  • Long-term reuse across families
  • Clear ownership of source files

Frequently Asked Questions

What do we actually own after purchasing?
You own the Training materials and Toolkit files included in the Starter Package. Nothing is revoked if you choose not to continue Maintenance & Support.
Is access per person?
Yes. Training and Toolkit access are provided per seat. Each person who needs access must have their own seat.
Do we need Maintenance forever?
No. Maintenance & Support is optional. Active teams typically keep it enabled while producing drawings regularly.
When should we use Cloud Workspace?
Use Cloud when local Windows/Visio installs are not practical (Mac, iPad, Linux, or restricted IT environments).
When should we use Studio?
Use Studio for complex, high-volume, or time-sensitive work.
