Why Live

Some patent figure questions are easier to solve in conversation.

Practical work benefits from seeing the workflow. Organizational decisions benefit from discussing the reasoning, tradeoffs, and implementation behind it.

IP DaVinci Live Programs combine practical demonstration with focused discussion so participants can connect patent figure methods and capability decisions to their own work or organization.

See the workflow

Watch patent figure methods demonstrated as a sequence of practical decisions rather than a collection of isolated commands or rules.

Understand the reasoning

Learn not only what to do, but why a particular approach makes figures easier to create, revise, review, and maintain.

Ask practical questions

Bring questions from your own patent figure work and use the live format to clarify methods, workflows, and implementation considerations.

Apply it to real work

Connect what you learn to the actual figures, revisions, collaboration, and capability challenges encountered in patent practice and innovation work.

The Goal

Leave with something you understand well enough to use — not simply something you watched.

01 Practical Live Session

Free Friday Patent Figure Workshop™

Practical patent figure work, demonstrated live.

The Free Friday Patent Figure Workshop™ is a complimentary public Live Training session focused on one practical patent figure workflow at a time.

Workshops rotate through annotation, revision, flowchart, system diagram, and image tracing workflows, with an emphasis on practical methods participants can use in real work.

Typical Workflow

01 Source

Start with sketches, screenshots, photographs, PDFs, diagrams, CAD exports, or other inventor and client material.

02 Formalize

Convert source material into cleaner, structured, editable patent figures.

03 Annotate

Add and manage reference characters, labels, figure numbers, and other drawing information.

04 Revise

Respond efficiently to inventor changes, attorney revisions, prosecution needs, and later drawing updates.

What We Can Work On

Different sessions can focus on different parts of the workflow.

The Workshop is designed around practical patent figure situations rather than a single fixed presentation.

02 Organizational Session

Executive Patent Figure Briefing™

Build stronger patent figure capability across your organization.

The Executive Patent Figure Briefing™ looks beyond individual drawing tasks to the people, capabilities, working methods, resources, and decisions that shape patent-figure capability across an organization.

Sessions are designed for leaders and professionals evaluating how patent figure work can become more consistent, editable, collaborative, and easier to manage across an organization.

Organizational Capability

People & Skills

Give attorneys, agents, support professionals, engineers, researchers, and other participants the practical knowledge needed for the patent figure work they handle.

Standards

Establish more consistent approaches to figure structure, formatting, annotation, revision, and reusable drawing practices.

Working Methods

Create repeatable ways to move from inventor or client source material through preparation, review, revision, and prosecution.

Resources

Use editable templates, reusable components, technology, and supporting resources to make routine figure work easier to manage.

Questions We Explore

What should patent figure capability look like inside your organization?

The Executive Patent Figure Briefing™ provides a place to examine the operational questions behind better patent figure work — not just the drawing techniques.

Which patent figure tasks should your team be able to review, revise, or handle internally?

Where do drawing revisions create unnecessary delays, handoffs, or vendor dependency?

How can editable figure ownership improve collaboration between attorneys, inventors, engineers, and support teams?

What should be standardized across people, matters, teams, or departments?

How should training and reusable tools be introduced without disrupting existing work?

Which patent-figure work makes sense to handle directly, and when is professional assistance the better resource?

Every Live Session

Focused education designed to be useful beyond the webinar.

The subject may be practical or strategic, but the approach is the same: explain clearly, demonstrate where useful, and connect the discussion to real patent figure work.

Sessions are educational rather than sales presentations. The goal is to give participants useful ideas, methods, and perspectives they can take back to their own work or organization.

Live presentation & discussion

Sessions are presented live so ideas can be explained in context, demonstrated where useful, and discussed with participants.

Practical examples

Concepts are connected to patent figure situations, workflows, decisions, and implementation examples wherever appropriate.

Focused topics

Each session has a defined subject so participants can choose the webinars most relevant to the work or capability they want to improve.

Questions & discussion

The live format provides an opportunity to ask questions and connect the session topic to practical situations participants encounter.

Experienced perspective

Sessions draw on decades of patent drawing experience and the practical lessons behind the IP DaVinci Patent Figure System.

Complimentary access

The Free Friday Workshop™ and Executive Patent Figure Briefing™ are offered as complimentary live educational programs.

Our Approach

Teach something useful first. If IP DaVinci can help you apply it more broadly afterward, you can explore that separately.

Who Attends

Different roles. Different needs. One shared patent figure workflow.

Patent figures connect legal, technical, and operational work — so the people who benefit from better figure capability extend well beyond the person creating the drawing.

Attend individually to improve practical skills, or bring colleagues to explore how better workflows can support a broader team or organization.

Live Program FAQ

A few things to know before you join.

The two live programs are designed for different needs: practical workflow education through Free Friday, and organizational capability discussion through the Executive Briefing.

01 Is there a cost to attend?

No. The Free Friday Patent Figure Workshop™ is complimentary, and the Executive Patent Figure Briefing™ is also complimentary for organizations that request one.

02 Which live program should I choose?

Choose the Free Friday Patent Figure Workshop™ if you want practical instruction related to creating, formalizing, annotating, revising, or managing patent figures.

Choose the Executive Patent Figure Briefing™ if you're evaluating patent figure capability, standardization, training, collaboration, or implementation across a firm, department, or organization.

03 Do I need patent drawing or Visio experience?

No. You do not need to be a professional patent draftsperson or an experienced Visio user to participate.

The sessions are designed to explain the workflow and reasoning clearly enough for patent professionals, support teams, inventors, researchers, engineers, and organizational leaders to follow from their own perspective.

04 Can I ask questions during the session?

Yes. Questions are an important part of the live format. When appropriate, you can connect the session topic to practical situations you encounter in your own work.

05 Can several people from the same organization attend?

Yes. Colleagues from the same firm, company, university, or other organization are welcome to participate.

In many cases, attending together can be useful because patent figure workflows cross roles — for example attorneys and support teams, IP and engineering, or technology transfer professionals and researchers.

06 Are these product demonstrations?

The live programs are educational first. IP DaVinci methods, Patent Figure Toolkit™ resources, or examples may appear when they help explain the subject, but the purpose of the session is to teach something useful about patent-figure work or capability.

If you want to explore the complete IP DaVinci System — Training, the Patent Figure Toolkit™, and Support — or discuss organizational implementation afterward, you can do that separately.

Start with the conversation that matters most to you.

Develop practical patent figure skills yourself, or explore how stronger patent figure capability can support your organization.
