Training

Patent Drawing School — Visio Edition

Enable your team to produce clear, examiner-friendly utility patent drawings in-house — reducing outsourcing, improving turnaround, and keeping more margin inside the firm.

• ✔ Train attorneys, agents, and paralegals to produce clear, consistent utility patent drawings in-house — reducing reliance on external vendors.
• ✔ Standardized micro-courses teach the exact workflows legal teams need: annotation, flowcharts, system diagrams, GUI figures, graphs, tables, and more.
• ✔ Fast learning curve so team members can contribute quickly, with drawings that legal can trust, edit, and reuse across matters.

Toolkit

IP DaVinci Toolkit for Visio — Speed and Compliance for Patent Drawings

Standardized Visio templates and premade patent shapes that let legal teams create clear, consistent, compliant drawings 5×–10× faster — increasing efficiency and improving margins.

• ✔ Standardize all in-house drawings with preset templates, layers, margins, and annotation rules that keep every figure consistent across associates, paralegals, and matters.
• ✔ Produce routine figures 5×–10× faster using pre-built shapes for flowcharts, system diagrams, graphs, GUIs, tables, and reference annotations — no need to draw from scratch.
• ✔ Reduce drawing-related objections with compliant line weights, formatting, and layouts aligned to USPTO/EP standards, minimizing examiner pushback and rework.

CLOUD WORKSPACE

DaVinci Cloud Workspace — Visio on Any Device

Managed Visio cloud desktops so attorneys, paralegals, and support staff can work from any device — Mac, Windows, iPad, Linux, or Chromebook — without local installs or IT involvement. (Toolkit license required for production drawings.)

• ✔ Eliminates device friction — attorneys and paralegals can work on drawings from Mac, iPad, laptops, or secure corporate machines with no installs or IT approvals.
• ✔ Standardized environment — every user logs into the same preconfigured Visio setup with Toolkit, ensuring consistent figures across matters and staff.
• ✔ Ideal for hybrid and remote teams — secure cloud desktops let attorneys review, update, and annotate drawings anywhere without relying on local Windows machines.

Studio

IP DaVinci Studio — Patent Drawings Done for You

When a case is too complex, too urgent, or simply not worth staffing internally, the Studio delivers clean, examiner-friendly drawings on predictable timelines.

• ✔ Offload complex or time-sensitive cases while your attorneys focus on strategy.
• ✔ Consistent, patent-office-compliant figures across families and client matters.
• ✔ Flexible capacity for overflow, large portfolios, and fast-moving filings.

Routine Drawings Stay In-House

Simple figures should not require outside vendors or partner time. Training + Toolkit make it realistic to handle the bulk of drawings internally.

Faster, More Efficient Patent Drafting

The system lets attorneys and paralegals produce clean, patent-office-aligned drawings quickly — reducing drafting time across the entire application lifecycle.

Consistent Firm-Wide Visual Standards

The Toolkit gives everyone the same shapes, templates, and annotation style, so your figures look coherent even when drafted by different people.

Real-Time Diagram Creation During Client Meetings

Attorneys can sketch clear diagrams directly in Visio while interviewing inventors, improving intake accuracy and reducing follow-up meetings.

Integrated Claim + Figure Development

Drawing tools and annotation stencils make it easy to visualize embodiments while drafting claims, improving clarity and reducing conceptual errors.

Reduced Redrawing and Rework

The Toolkit enforces consistent line styles, annotations, and layout. Drawings rarely need to be rebuilt by staff or external vendors, lowering costs and speeding up turnaround.

Faster Annotation and Numbering

Lead lines, reference numbers, figure numbers, and callouts are added in seconds using automated annotation tools — much faster than manual work.

Less Dependency on Drafting Specialists

Attorneys and agents can create or adjust drawings themselves whenever needed, reducing bottlenecks and ensuring deadlines don’t depend on external turnaround times.

Easier Collaboration With Clients and R&D Teams

Shared drawing standards and editable Visio files eliminate communication issues and reduce the need to “interpret” client sketches.

Compatible With Mac/Linux Through Cloud Workspace

Attorneys, agents, and paralegals can access a standardized Visio environment from any device, ensuring unified files and tools across the firm.

Reusable Visuals Across All Filings

Once created, figures can be reused across provisionals, non-provisionals, continuations, office actions, client updates, and presentations — preserving consistency and saving time.

Reduced Write-Offs and Non-Billable Hours

With fewer redo cycles, attorneys spend more time on legal strategy, not cleaning up figures — improving profitability per matter.

Faster Training for Junior Associates and Paralegals

New team members quickly learn firm-standard drawing practices through the Patent Drawing School and Toolkit, reducing onboarding overhead.
