FOR PROFESSORS & TEACHING STAFF
Teach patent-aware technical diagrams — without drafting complexity
A low-learning-curve, Visio-based system for teaching invention and patent drawing skills in real coursework. Designed for non-drafters.
💡 No drafting background required. Students become productive in hours, not weeks.
Designed for teaching environments
Most students are never taught how to communicate inventions visually. They rely on screenshots, ad-hoc diagrams, or presentation tools that don’t translate to real patent, research, or industry workflows.
IP DaVinci gives instructors a simple, standardized system for teaching patent-aware diagrams using tools students can learn quickly and reuse beyond the classroom.
Focused on communication and structure — not artistic skill or CAD expertise
Fast to teach: students learn a small, repeatable subset of Visio
Standardized templates simplify grading and reduce subjective evaluation
Keeps student work editable for feedback, revision, and resubmission
Works in mixed classrooms (Windows labs, personal devices, Mac/Linux via cloud)
Skills transfer directly to research, industry, and patent workflows
Where instructors use the system
One system — multiple teaching goals.
Patent & IP-Aware Courses
Teach students how invention figures support claims, embodiments, and technical disclosure — not just how to draw shapes.
Engineering & Design Coursework
Replace ad-hoc diagrams with a structured visual language that improves clarity, consistency, and professional communication.
Capstone & Project-Based Classes
Students document systems and processes clearly, making projects easier to evaluate, present, and iterate.
Assessment & Feedback
Instructors can review, comment, and request revisions directly in the same file without redraw cycles.
