Choose the option that best matches your role to learn more.
LEADERSHIP & MANAGEMENT
For R&D Executives and Innovation Leaders
Standardize patent figure workflows, reduce reliance on redraw vendors, and improve speed-to-filing across R&D teams.
ENGINEERING & INVENTION
For Engineers and Scientists
Turn technical concepts into clear, patent-ready figures without constant rework or drawing bottlenecks.
INTERNAL IP & LEGAL
For In-House IP Teams and Counsel
Improve figure consistency, reduce revision cycles, and streamline handoffs between inventors, IP teams, and outside counsel.
Designed to fit real R&D and corporate IP workflows
Designed for engineers and scientists — no drafting background required
Supports invention disclosure, claim iteration, and prosecution workflows
Keeps figures fully editable in Visio for fast revision
Reduces attorney clarification and redraw cycles
Standardizes outputs across teams, projects, and patent families
Where R&D teams use the IP DaVinci System
One system — from invention disclosure to filing.
Invention Disclosure & Early Concept Sketching
Engineers and scientists create clear, structured figures during disclosure, reducing ambiguity before handoff to IP teams or outside counsel.
Live Visual Iteration with IP & Counsel
Use Visio to refine figures alongside claim development. Changes are visible immediately, cutting hours of clarification and redraw.
Consistent, Counsel-Ready Drafts
Templates and stencils apply patent-style defaults automatically, producing figures that outside attorneys can use directly or refine quickly.

How R&D teams typically adopt IP DaVinci
Pilot
Start with the Starter Package for one R&D group, project team, or disclosure workflow.
Standardize
Adopt shared figure conventions across engineering, IP, and counsel using the Toolkit.
Maintain
Keep the system current with optional IP DaVinci Maintenance & Support as usage scales.
Scale
Roll out across organizations with optional Cloud Workspace and Studio support as needed.
Explore solutions by role
Each role uses the same system — in different ways.
For Executives & IP Leadership
Reduced vendor spend, faster filings, predictable workflows, and clearer IP assets.
For R&D Engineers & Scientists
Create clear invention figures quickly without drafting overhead or CAD complexity.
For Internal & External Patent Counsel
Cleaner inputs, fewer redraws, and faster claim-driven iteration.
Used in corporate R&D environments
“Our engineers now submit figures that attorneys can actually work with — it changed the quality of disclosures overnight.”
— Director of IP, Technology Company
“Live visual iteration cut hours of back-and-forth during claim drafting.”
— Senior Patent Counsel, R&D Organization
“Standardized figures reduced vendor dependency and improved reuse across patent families.”
— IP Operations Manager
