FOR R&D & CORPORATE IP LEADERSHIP

Increase IP throughput without adding headcount

Standardize invention figures early to reduce rework, accelerate disclosure-to-filing speed, and improve portfolio execution.

Used by R&D and corporate IP teams to reduce redraw cycles and improve counsel handoffs.

💡 Optional Cloud Workspace supports Mac, iPad, Linux, and locked-down IT environments.

R&D invention figure workflow using the IP DaVinci standardized Visio system

What Is the IP DaVinci System?

A standardized invention-figure execution system for R&D organizations.

In many organizations, invention visuals originate in inconsistent formats — slides, whiteboard photos, screenshots, or informal diagrams.

This creates systemic inefficiencies:

  • Ambiguity at disclosure intake
  • Repeated clarification between R&D and IP
  • Redraw-heavy vendor workflows
  • Delays between disclosure and filing

The IP DaVinci Patent Drawing System™ standardizes invention figures at the source.

Engineers, IP teams, and outside counsel work from the same structured, editable file.

The system combines:

  • Focused onboarding training for fast adoption
  • Templates & stencils that enforce structure automatically
  • Optional Cloud Workspace for device flexibility
  • Optional Studio support for complex or overflow work

The result is faster execution, reduced rework, and more predictable IP output — without changing your existing innovation process.

What R&D organizations gain

Higher throughput. Lower friction. Better control.

THROUGHPUT

Accelerate disclosure-to-filing timelines

Structured figures reduce delays between invention capture and drafting.

  • Faster disclosure readiness
  • Reduced clarification cycles
  • Same-day iteration on revisions
COST

Reduce avoidable vendor spend

Standardized inputs allow vendors to finalize instead of recreate.

  • Lower drafting costs per application
  • Fewer redraw cycles
  • Less coordination overhead
CAPACITY

Reclaim engineer and counsel time

Less time spent explaining intent and clarifying diagrams.

  • Cleaner embodiment capture
  • Fewer follow-up rounds
  • Improved drafting efficiency
SCALABILITY

Scale consistently across business units

Shared standards create predictable outputs across teams.

  • Comparable disclosures across groups
  • Governed formatting standards
  • Reusable portfolio assets
$60k–$67.5k / year
Vendor cost avoided
$40k–$120k / year
Attorney capacity returned
500–1,500 hours / year
R&D time reclaimed
Same-day iteration
Cycle time impact

Illustrative example based on ~100 disclosures/year. Scales with disclosure volume and staffing model.

What changes in execution

Same innovation process. Faster IP throughput.

Most organizations follow a familiar loop: Engineer → Disclosure → IP review → Counsel → Vendor → Revision. IP DaVinci improves what flows through it.
1

Capture

Before
Unstructured visuals interpreted later.
After
Structured, editable figures created early.
2

Review

Before
Ambiguity and clarification cycles.
After
Clear visuals that speed decisions.
3

Drafting

Before
Redraw from scratch.
After
Finalize from structured inputs.
4

Revision

Before
Markup chains and delays.
After
Direct edits in the same file.

SYSTEM ADOPTION

Adopt in phases

Standardize first. Expand where it proves value.

Most organizations begin with a controlled pilot and expand after validating impact.

PILOT Starter Package

Start with one business unit

Deploy standardized workflow to a limited team.

STANDARDIZE Governance

Establish shared conventions

Align formatting and disclosure expectations.

OPTIONAL Support

Add support where needed

Use maintenance or studio selectively.

OPTIONAL Access

Enable cloud where required

Support restricted IT environments.

Typical enterprise rollout

1

Pilot

Validate speed and clarity improvements.

2

Measure

Track cycle time, rework, and vendor impact.

3

Standardize

Define shared conventions.

4

Scale

Expand across business units.
