SYSTEM LAYER — TRAINING
Learn the IP DaVinci Drawing Method
Structured training for creating patent-ready figures in Microsoft Visio.
SYSTEM NOTE
Training-only access is intended for education, evaluation, or academic use. Professionals doing production work should start with the Starter Package
TRAINING + CERTIFICATION
Patent Drawing School — Visio Edition
Role-based training aligned with real patent drawing work.
Patent Drawing School teaches the IP DaVinci System for producing patent-ready figures in Microsoft Visio. It is both instruction and a structured certification framework. Training is included in the Starter Package for professionals. Academic and evaluation use cases may access Training independently.
ROLE-BASED LEARNING
Learn only what applies to your role
Training is modular and role-based. Attorneys, paralegals, engineers, reviewers, and students follow different Learning Paths depending on how they interact with patent drawings.
Note
There is no requirement to complete every module. Most learners focus only on lessons relevant to their responsibilities.
What the Training Covers
Practical instruction aligned with real patent drawing workflows.
Visio, Simplified for Patent Drawings

Universities and instructors may qualify for discounted training access.
How Training Fits into the IP DaVinci System
Training is the learning layer of the IP DaVinci System.
- Training teaches the method and standards.
- Toolkit enables real production work (templates + stencils).
- Maintenance & Support keeps the toolkit current and provides ongoing help.
- Cloud Workspace solves access constraints.
- Studio supports work you want to delegate.
Most professionals start with the Starter Package to learn the workflow and immediately apply it using the Toolkit.
Who Training Is For
