FOR PROFESSORS & TEACHING STAFF
Teach students to communicate inventions clearly — not just describe them
A structured, classroom-ready system that helps students create clear, professional invention figures using Microsoft Visio.
💡 No drafting background required. Students become productive in hours, not weeks. Optional Cloud Workspace supports Mac, iPad, Linux, and locked-down lab environments.
What Is the IP DaVinci Teaching System?
In many courses, students explain technical ideas using slides, informal diagrams, or inconsistent sketches.
While useful for discussion, these formats often lack structure, labeling discipline, and revision clarity.
Students struggle to clearly communicate systems, components, and relationships.
The IP DaVinci Patent Drawing System™ introduces a structured visual framework students can learn quickly.
It emphasizes:
- Clear component definition
- Consistent labeling and numbering
- Structured visual thinking
- Revision-ready files
The system combines:
- Role-based training focused on a practical subset of Visio
- Templates & stencils that enforce structure automatically
- Optional Cloud Workspace for mixed-device classrooms
- Optional Studio examples for demonstrations
The result is clearer student output, easier grading, and skills that transfer directly into research, internships, and patent workflows.
What instructors and students gain
Better communication. Easier teaching.
Teach a real-world, practical skill
Students learn how to communicate inventions in a format used in research and patent workflows.
- Professional figure structure
- Clear labeling and numbering
- Revision-ready files
Improve technical thinking
Structured figures force students to define systems clearly.
- Better system understanding
- Less ambiguity
- Clearer documentation
Make grading easier and more consistent
Standardized templates reduce subjective evaluation.
- Consistent submissions
- Faster review
- Less formatting feedback
Fit real classroom constraints
Works across lab, remote, and hybrid environments.
- Mixed-device ready
- Minimal IT overhead
- Easy to integrate
Designed for real teaching environments
Small, focused subset of Visio — easy to teach
Repeatable workflow students learn quickly
Editable submissions simplify feedback
Works in lab, capstone, and hybrid formats
Skills transfer directly into industry and research
Where instructors use the system
One framework — multiple applications.
Patent & IP-Aware Courses
Teach how visuals support claims and embodiments.
Engineering & Design Courses
Replace informal diagrams with structured communication.
Capstone Projects
Require consistent, revision-ready figures.
Feedback & Iteration
Review and revise directly in the same file.
The teaching components
