FOR PATENT ATTORNEYS & AGENTS

Draft faster with cleaner figures — without redraw cycles

A standardized Visio-based invention drawing system that reduces clarification, rework, and vendor dependence. Designed for non-drafters.

💡 No drafting background required. Focuses on a small, repeatable subset of Visio. Most practitioners become productive in 3–5 hours.

Designed for how practitioners actually work

Most patent practitioners are not trained in patent drawing workflows or tools, so they default to PowerPoint or pen-and-paper. They spend significant time creating and adjusting figures that are hard to revise — and often must be clarified or redrawn later. The result is slow drafting, more back-and-forth, and higher vendor dependence.

IP DaVinci provides a structured, low-learning-curve system for producing and refining invention figures in Microsoft Visio — so drafting starts from clean inputs and revisions happen in minutes, not cycles.

Reduce intake ambiguity by sketching or refining figures live

Cut time spent creating and adjusting figures in non-drafting tools

Keep figures editable through drafting, amendments, and continuations

Spend less time on formatting and more time on claim strategy

Work directly in Visio — no CAD or artistic skill required

Compatible with in-house teams, clients, and outside vendors

Where attorneys and agents use the system

From intake through prosecution.

Invention Intake

Capture or refine figures during intake so ambiguities are resolved immediately instead of resurfacing later during drafting.

Initial Drafting

Start with structured, patent-ready figures that support claims instead of reconstructing ad-hoc sketches.

Amendments & Office Actions

Revise figures directly in the same Visio file — no markup chains, no vendor redraw delays.

Client Collaboration

Review and adjust figures with inventors in real time, reducing explanation overhead and improving alignment.

The IP DaVinci System

IP DaVinci is a standardized invention-drawing system built on Microsoft Visio — designed specifically for patent practitioners, not professional drafters. The system starts with the Starter Package (Training + Toolkit as one integrated workflow). For active users, IP DaVinci Maintenance & Support keeps the Toolkit current and provides ongoing help as questions arise. Optional Cloud Workspace and Studio services extend the same system when access or capacity is constrained.

Starter Package (Training + Toolkit)

One-time onboarding bundle that teaches a practical subset of Visio and provides patent-ready templates and stencils.

IP DaVinci Maintenance & Support (Optional)

Annual plan for active users: Toolkit updates plus practitioner-friendly support as your drafting needs evolve.

Cloud Workspace (Optional)

Browser-based Visio access for Mac/Linux users or locked-down firm environments.

Studio (Optional)

Expert drafting assistance for complex or time-sensitive cases, fully compatible with the same system files.

Access and learning curve — practitioner-friendly

  • Microsoft Visio commonly available via Microsoft 365
  • Lower cost and faster ramp-up than CAD tools for patent figures
  • Users learn only what’s required for invention and patent drawings
  • Most practitioners productive in 3–5 hours
  • Fits cleanly into existing drafting and prosecution workflows

How practitioners typically adopt IP DaVinci

1

Individual use

An attorney or agent starts with the Starter Package to handle intake, drafting, and amendments directly — then adds Maintenance & Support if they want ongoing updates and help.

2

Practice-group standard

Shared templates and conventions align attorneys and support staff around one workflow, with Maintenance & Support keeping the Toolkit consistent over time.

3

Firm-wide system

Attorneys, paralegals, and vendors operate on the same editable drawing standard, with optional Cloud Workspace and Studio for access or overflow.

Used by patent practitioners

“Live figure refinement during intake eliminated hours of clarification later.”

— Patent Attorney

“Amendments are faster when figures stay editable instead of going back to vendors.”

— Patent Agent

“Standardized templates removed formatting friction and let me focus on claims.”

— IP Counsel
