FOR INDIVIDUAL INVENTORS
Turn your invention into clear, editable patent figures
A standardized Microsoft Visio-based workflow (training + templates + support) that helps you create invention figures attorneys can actually use — without CAD or drafting background.
💡 Cloud Workspace available for Mac, iPad, and locked-down environments (browser-based access).
What Is the IP DaVinci System?
I built the IP DaVinci Patent Drawing System™ to help solo inventors create clear, patent-ready invention figures in Microsoft Visio — without needing drafting skills, CAD, or expensive redraw cycles.
After 30+ years in the patent drawing ecosystem, I saw the same pattern everywhere: inventors start with sketches, screenshots, photos, and slides, but don’t have a repeatable way to turn them into consistent patent figures. That leads to slow figure prep, confusing revisions, back-and-forth with attorneys or vendors, redraws, and unnecessary cost.
IP DaVinci solves this at the system level by combining:
- Role-based Training (so non-drafters become productive fast)
- Toolkit Templates + Stencils (so standards are enforced and figure work is faster)
- DaVinci Cloud Workspace (Windows + Visio in the browser for Mac/locked-down IT)
- Studio Services (outsourcing for complex, time-sensitive, or overflow work)
The result is faster figure creation, clearer invention communication, and lower drafting cost — because you can build and revise figures in the same editable Visio source file instead of paying for repeated redraws or losing time rebuilding drawings from scratch.
Training (Starter Package)
Structured, role-based training that teaches the essential Visio skills, patent drawing standards, and figure-specific drawing techniques needed to produce patent-ready drawings within a standardized system.
Toolkit (Starter Package)
Visio templates and stencils that enforce patent-ready standards while accelerating figure creation and keeping drawings consistent and editable across matters.
Maintenance & Support (Annual)
Optional annual plan that keeps the Toolkit current, provides drawing/system support, and includes Studio credits.
DaVinci Cloud Workspace (Optional)
Managed Windows + Visio in the browser when local installs aren’t practical (Mac, iPad, Linux, locked-down environments).
Studio (Optional)
Expert drawings for complex or time-sensitive cases — fully compatible with the same system.
What solo inventors achieve with one shared system
Clarity first. Speed follows.
Turn rough ideas into clean figures faster
Go from sketches and screenshots to clear, patent-ready visuals without getting stuck.
- Faster figure creation with a repeatable process
- Quick edits when you discover changes
- Less time guessing how to format drawings
Avoid redraw costs and expensive rework
Reduce the back-and-forth that drives drafting bills up — especially for small changes.
- Fewer paid redraw cycles
- Lower cost for routine revisions
- Pay for finishing work, not corrections
No CAD. No art background required
Use a low-learning-curve workflow in Visio — designed for non-drafters.
- Easy to learn even without drawing experience
- Built-in templates and formatting standards
- Fewer tool mistakes and inconsistent outputs
Keep your figures editable and reusable
Maintain one clean source file so your drawings stay editable as your invention evolves.
- Update figures without starting over
- Reuse layouts and diagram parts across versions
- Stay in control instead of waiting on others
Where inventors use the system
From idea to filing.
Invention Disclosure
Create clear, structured figures that explain how your invention works before meeting with an attorney.
Attorney Intake & Review
Share editable drawings so counsel can iterate with you directly instead of interpreting rough sketches.
Provisional Applications
Support provisional filings with cleaner figures that reduce later rework.
Early Iteration & Improvement
Update figures easily as your design evolves or improves.
SYSTEM ADOPTION
The Default Adoption Path
Start with the system. Add support or services only when needed.
The IP DaVinci System Adoption Path:
- Start with the Starter Package, which includes Training and the Toolkit.
- Keep Maintenance & Support active annually to receive Toolkit updates, system support, and Studio credits.
- Add Cloud Workspace only when local installs aren’t practical (Mac, iPad, Linux, locked-down IT).
- Use Studio only when you want drawings done for you.
Start with the Starter Package
Everything you need to adopt the system and produce patent drawings yourself.
- ✔ Training to learn the workflow.
- ✔ Toolkit with templates and stencils.
- ✔ One-time purchase. You keep what you receive.
Add Maintenance & Support
Optional annual plan for active production use.
- ✔ Toolkit updates and refinements.
- ✔ Drawing and system support.
- ✔ Studio credits included.
Add Cloud Workspace when installs aren’t practical
Run Windows + Visio in the browser for mixed-device or locked-down environments.
- ✔ Ideal for Mac, iPad, Linux, and restricted IT setups.
- ✔ Keeps the same system and file compatibility.
Use Studio when you want drawings done for you
Delegate complex, high-volume, or time-sensitive work.
- ✔ Uses the same system.
- ✔ No redraw or compatibility issues.
Why this matters: You only pay for what you actually need. Own the system outright, keep it current when you’re actively using it, and delegate only when it makes sense.
How inventors typically use IP DaVinci
Start with the Starter Package
Learn the essentials and get the Toolkit so you can build clean invention figures quickly.
Create disclosure-ready figures
Prepare structured, editable drawings before meeting with counsel.
Collaborate and refine
Iterate with attorneys using the same Visio files — revise instead of redraw.
Stay current (optional)
Add Maintenance & Support for toolkit updates and help with edge cases.
Get help when needed (optional)
Use Studio for complex or time-sensitive drawings — without changing systems.
