Patent paralegal creating standardized patent figures in Visio

Designed for real support workflows

Patent paralegals and assistants are often capable of doing more figure work — but without the right system, drafting becomes slow, redo-heavy, and dependent on attorney or vendor intervention. IP DaVinci gives support staff a clear, structured system for creating clean, editable patent figures that attorneys can rely on.

Enables support staff to handle routine figures independently

Reduces back-and-forth with attorneys over formatting and corrections

Keeps figures editable for fast revisions and amendments

Standardized templates eliminate guesswork and inconsistency

No CAD or artistic skill required

Works seamlessly with attorneys, agents, and outside vendors

Where paralegals and assistants use the system

From drafting through prosecution.

Routine Figure Drafting

Create clean, patent-ready figures using standardized templates instead of rebuilding pages or shapes from scratch.

Attorney Review & Revisions

Make requested changes directly in the same file, reducing review cycles and turnaround time.

Office Actions & Amendments

Update figures quickly as claims change, without sending work back to vendors.

Vendor Coordination

Provide vendors with cleaner inputs or reserve vendor time for complex figures instead of routine sheets.
