Learn Visio for Patent Drawings in a Single Weekend

You Don’t Need to Learn All of Visio—Just the Right Parts

Most Visio courses are built for engineers or corporate diagramming—not for patent attorneys. They’re too broad, too slow, and full of features you’ll never use in your work.

At Patent Drawing School, we’ve designed Visio training specifically for patent figures. The result?
You can go from zero to drawing, editing, and annotating in a single weekend—without design experience or a drafting background.

Why Attorneys Benefit from Visio Knowledge

If you’ve ever:

• Struggled to get clean figures back from drafters
• Needed to fix a label or line and didn’t want to send a figure out again
• Wanted more control over what’s submitted in your name

Then knowing how to work with Visio isn’t just helpful—it’s efficient.

Here’s what it gives you:

• ✅ Create rough figures from your own sketches or disclosures
• ✅ Make edits yourself without waiting on a team
• ✅ Add annotations and labels for clarity and compliance
• ✅ Review drawings faster with a trained eye

This makes you faster, more independent, and more precise in your prosecution work.

What You Actually Learn — and Why It’s Enough

Our focused Visio training teaches only the features that matter for patent drawings:

• Inserting and aligning standardized shapes (e.g., flowcharts, blocks, system diagrams)
• Adding and editing lead lines and reference numbers
• Working with inventor photos, screenshots, and mockups
• Formatting for USPTO/PCT compliance
• Exporting figures cleanly, without formatting errors

Everything else—like SmartArt, org charts, or network layouts—is ignored. This keeps learning time short and relevance high.

Why a Single Weekend Is Enough

Patent attorneys don’t have weeks to waste on software training. That’s why the Patent Drawing School method is:

• 🧩 Modular — follow just the topics you need
• 🎥 Video-based — watch a task, do the task, move on
• ✅ Practice-driven — each skill is tied to a real drawing scenario
• 🧠 Designed for legal professionals — no design jargon, no fluff

By Sunday night, you’ll know how to prepare and revise your own figures—or confidently direct staff to do it for you.

What This Unlocks in Practice

• Sketch and submit figures without depending on a drafter
• Update drawings directly after a claim amendment
• Add annotations to examiner-marked figures
• Train assistants to take over drawing tasks using your own Visio files
• Maintain editable drawings you can return to 5–10 years later

This turns Visio into a lightweight but powerful legal tool—not a burden to outsource.
