SYSTEM LAYER — TRAINING

Learn the IP DaVinci Drawing Method

Structured training that teaches how to create patent-ready figures in Microsoft Visio.

Patent Drawing School — Visio Edition is the training layer of the IP DaVinci system. It teaches the drawing method, conventions, and workflows used across all other layers.

💡 Most teams start with the Starter Package (Training + Toolkit) to learn the workflow and immediately apply it in production.

SYSTEM NOTE

Training teaches the method. Toolkit enables production. Cloud and Studio are optional layers.

What the Training Covers

Practical instruction aligned with real patent drawing work.

Method

A Repeatable Drawing Workflow

Learn a structured approach instead of improvising in Visio.

  • Figure planning and layout
  • Layering and annotation conventions
  • Clean, examiner-friendly output

Figure Types

The Figures You Actually Draw

Training focuses on real-world utility figures.

  • Flowcharts and methods
  • System and block diagrams
  • GUI figures, graphs, and tables
  • Image tracing into line art

Practice

Guided Examples and Exercises

Learn by doing with reference diagrams.

  • Before/after examples
  • Downloadable practice files
  • Clear visual standards

ROLE-BASED LEARNING

Learn only what applies to your role.

Training is modular and role-based. Attorneys, paralegals, engineers, and students follow different learning paths based on how they work with patent drawings.

Note

Note: There is no requirement to complete every module. Most learners focus only on the lessons relevant to their responsibilities.

What Learners Gain from Training

Understanding first — production comes next.

Clarity Before Production

Learners understand what good patent figures look like and why.

  • Reduced guesswork
  • Better communication with reviewers
  • Fewer avoidable mistakes

Faster Adoption of Tools

Training shortens the learning curve when moving into production.

  • Easier Toolkit onboarding
  • More consistent usage
  • Less rework later

A Shared Visual Language

Teams align on one method.

  • Clear expectations
  • Simpler supervision
  • Better long-term consistency

Training Access Options

Education-first access, with production handled separately.

Patent Drawing School — Training

Available by arrangement

Training-only access for education, evaluation, or academic use.

Ideal for: Universities, students, evaluators, and teams assessing the IP DaVinci workflow.

Important:
Training-only access does not include commercial-use tools. For production work, teams typically use the Starter Package.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is Training enough to produce patent drawings?
Training teaches the method, but production work typically requires the Toolkit. Most teams start with the Starter Package.
Can Training be used without Toolkit?
Yes, for learning and evaluation. Commercial production requires appropriate tooling.
Is Training required to use the Toolkit?
Training is not required, but it is strongly recommended to adopt the workflow correctly.
Is Training suitable for students?
Yes. Training is widely used in universities, clinics, and academic programs.
Can we upgrade later?
Yes. Many users start with Training and later move to the Starter Package.
