FOR R&D ENGINEERS & SCIENTISTS

Capture invention ideas clearly — and keep them editable

A practical Microsoft Visio-based workflow that helps you create invention figures that hold up through disclosure, drafting, and revision — without CAD or drafting overhead.

Used by R&D teams to reduce redraw cycles and speed IP handoffs.

💡 Optional Cloud Workspace supports Mac, iPad, Linux, and restricted IT environments.

What Is IP DaVinci?

A structured invention-figure workflow built on Microsoft Visio.

The IP DaVinci Patent Drawing System™ helps engineers and scientists create clear, structured invention figures without needing drafting skills or complex tools.

In many R&D environments, invention visuals begin as whiteboard photos, slides, screenshots, or quick sketches. When those need to become filing-ready, the process slows down — clarification loops begin, figures get rebuilt, and time is lost.

IP DaVinci gives you a repeatable, practical workflow:

  • Focused training so you become productive quickly
  • Templates & stencils that enforce structure automatically
  • Optional Cloud Workspace for device flexibility
  • Optional Studio help for complex cases

The goal is simple: help you capture ideas clearly, communicate them to IP faster, and make revisions without rebuilding everything from scratch.

What You Gain

Less friction. Faster iteration.

TIME

Spend less time explaining diagrams

Structured visuals reduce back-and-forth with IP and drafting teams.

  • Fewer clarification meetings
  • Cleaner disclosure submissions
  • Less diagram rework
CLARITY

Communicate systems more clearly

Standardized structure makes it easier to explain components and interactions.

  • Consistent labeling
  • Clear flows and interfaces
  • Better embodiment capture
CONTROL

Keep figures editable

Your figures stay in one editable source file from disclosure through revisions.

  • Quick updates when scope changes
  • No rebuilding from screenshots
  • Reusable across related filings
HANDOFF

Improve IP handoff

Give counsel structured, editable figures instead of scattered images.

  • Better starting point for drafting
  • Reduced redraw cycles
  • Faster path to filing

Where Engineers Use It

From concept to filing.

Invention Capture

Capture systems, methods, interfaces, and flows clearly while the idea is fresh.

Disclosure Preparation

Submit standardized, readable figures that speed IP review.

Counsel Collaboration

Work from one shared, editable Visio source file instead of exchanging screenshots.

Revisions & Iteration

Update figures quickly when experiments evolve or claims shift.

How Teams Typically Roll It Out

1

Pilot with one team

Use it for a subset of disclosures and measure impact.

2

Standardize conventions

Align on labeling, formatting, and handoff expectations.

3

Expand across projects

Roll out gradually as teams see speed and clarity gains.
