FOR RESEARCHERS & TECHNOLOGY TRANSFER OFFICES
Clearer invention figures — faster disclosures, faster handoff
A low-learning-curve, Visio-based invention drawing system that improves disclosure quality, speeds review, and reduces redraw cycles. Designed for non-drafters.
💡 No CAD or drafting background required. Most users become productive in 3–5 hours.
Designed for research + TTO reality
Invention disclosures break down when figures are unclear. Researchers often submit screenshots, PowerPoint slides, or rough sketches — and TTO teams spend time interpreting, requesting clarification, and coordinating redraws with counsel or vendors.
IP DaVinci gives campuses a simple, standardized way to create clean, editable invention figures in Microsoft Visio — so disclosures are easier to evaluate, counsel needs fewer follow-ups, and revisions happen in minutes instead of weeks.
Designed for non-drafters — no CAD, artistic skill, or drafting background required
Fast to learn: a focused subset of Visio plus a repeatable workflow (productive in 3–5 hours)
Improves disclosure clarity and reduces clarification cycles between inventors, TTO, and counsel
Keeps figures editable so they can evolve with the invention, embodiments, experiments, and claims
Standardizes visual quality across departments, labs, and rotating students
Works across mixed devices and lab environments (Windows with optional browser-based access)
Where campuses use the system
One standardized system across research, disclosure, and commercialization.
Invention Disclosures
Create clear, structured figures that make disclosures easier to understand and evaluate — reducing ambiguity, follow-up questions, and time-to-decision.
Disclosure Review & Go/No-Go Decisions
Help TTO teams review faster by receiving consistent, readable invention visuals — even when disclosures come from different departments, labs, and inventors.
Counsel & Vendor Handoff
Provide counsel with usable, editable figures early so drafting starts from clean inputs instead of reconstructed sketches — minimizing redraw cycles and vendor dependence.
Revision & Continuity
Maintain drawings in a single editable file so updates happen quickly as experiments evolve, embodiments expand, or claims change — without rebuilding figures for each revision.

How campuses typically adopt IP DaVinci
Pilot with one lab + TTO workflow
Start with one PI group, graduate cohort, or disclosure-heavy area and align expectations with the TTO review process.
Standardize disclosure visuals
Define shared figure conventions that reduce back-and-forth and produce counsel-ready inputs earlier.
Scale across departments
Expand to additional labs or programs; add Cloud Workspace only where device environments require it.
Used by research teams and TTO offices
“We can finally communicate embodiments clearly without turning every disclosure into a drafting project.”
— Principal Investigator, Research Lab
“Clearer figures reduced back-and-forth with inventors and sped up our disclosure reviews.”
— Technology Transfer Officer
“Being able to revise in the same file changed everything — no more redraw cycles when experiments evolve.”
— Graduate Researcher
