FOR IP LAW FIRM LEADERSHIP

Standardize Patent Drawings. Reduce Redraw. Reclaim Attorney Time.

One standardized, Visio-based system for patent drawing intake, drafting, revision, and amendment — productive in hours, not weeks. Designed for non-drafters.

Used by IP boutiques, prosecution practices, and corporate IP teams.
Executive Summary Discuss a Pilot

💡 Built on Microsoft Visio already available through Microsoft 365. Training focuses only on the limited subset of Visio required for patent figures.

Patent drawing workflow for law firm prosecution teams

Executive Summary

Three outcomes law firm leadership prioritizes

IP DaVinci replaces ad-hoc sketching, redraw-heavy workflows, and vendor dependency with a single, standardized patent drawing system used consistently across prosecution. Firms handle routine figures in-house, revise live during amendments, and reserve vendors only for complex matters — reducing cost while increasing throughput.
Time

Reclaim practitioner and staff hours

Live visual iteration eliminates clarification loops after intake and during prosecution.

  • Collaborative intake instead of interpretive redraws
  • Routine revisions completed in minutes
  • Less attorney time spent correcting figures
Cost

Reduce vendor and redraw spend

Handle routine figures in-house and use vendors only where they add value.

  • Majority of routine sheets produced internally
  • Vendors finalize instead of recreate
  • Lower per-application drawing spend
Durability

Produce revision-ready figures

When drawings remain editable, they evolve with claims instead of being rebuilt.

  • Cleaner amendments and office-action responses
  • Figures reused across continuations
  • More predictable prosecution timelines

What Actually Changes Inside the Firm

Same prosecution steps. Different execution.

IP DaVinci does not replace your prosecution process. It improves the quality, speed, and durability of what moves through it.
1

Invention Intake

Before
Notes, slides, or sketches captured for later interpretation.
After
Live Visio-based figure creation during intake, with issues resolved in real time.
2

Initial Drafting

Before
Manual recreation with inconsistent formatting and setup.
After
Standardized templates apply patent-ready conventions automatically.
3

Paralegal & Assistant Contribution

Before
High rework and constant attorney fixes.
After
Routine figures completed quickly with minimal attorney involvement.
4

Amendments & Office Actions

Before
Markups, emails, vendor redraws, multi-day delays.
After
Direct edits in the same Visio file — revisions completed same day.
5

Vendor Usage

Before
Primary producer for most figures.
After
Used selectively for complex cases and overflow.

The IP DaVinci System

IP DaVinci is implemented through a Starter Package and maintained through an optional IP DaVinci Maintenance & Support plan. The Starter Package delivers training and the full Toolkit so your team can produce patent-ready figures in-house. Maintenance & Support keeps the system current and backed by expert guidance as your team uses it across real matters. Optional Cloud Workspace and Studio extend the same system when access is constrained or overflow support is needed.

Starter Package (Core)

One-time implementation: targeted training + the full Toolkit. Most teams are productive in 3–5 hours.
