Confidence Isn’t About Mastering Software — It’s About Eliminating Hesitation

For many attorneys, drawing tasks are frustrating—not because they’re difficult, but because they’re unfamiliar. It’s easy to avoid editing a figure or giving clear drawing instructions when you’re unsure how the tools work.

But when you know what’s editable, what’s standard, and what’s easy to fix—your decisions get faster, your instructions get sharper, and your filings move quicker.


Why Visio? Why Hands-On?

We use Microsoft Visio because it’s:

  • Already trusted by professionals
  • Easier to learn than CAD tools
  • Capable of building compliant, professional patent figures
  • Fully editable for future revisions

But even Visio can feel overwhelming at first—unless it’s taught with a patent-specific focus.

That’s why hands-on training makes the difference. We strip away everything that doesn’t apply to patent drawing and focus only on what attorneys need to:

  • Sketch figures from disclosures
  • Review and edit drawings with clarity
  • Add annotations and fix formatting
  • Communicate precise instructions to others

What Attorneys Gain from Focused Drawing Skills

This isn’t about turning attorneys into draftspeople. It’s about giving them:

  • ✅ The confidence to explore, zoom, and inspect drawings directly
  • ✅ The ability to fix or mark up common figure issues on the spot
  • ✅ A clear understanding of how drawings are built — so instructions are accurate
  • ✅ A skillset to handle hybrid workflows with staff and outside drafters

Once you understand the basics, drawing tasks feel factual, not fuzzy. You know what’s fixable, what’s risky, and what to delegate.


Built for Attorneys — Not Designers

Patent Drawing School teaches Visio in a way that respects your time and focus:

  • Every lesson is based on a real patent task
  • No extra tools or advanced design steps
  • You’re not “learning software”—you’re learning how to finish real drawing work
  • Most attorneys finish the core lessons in just a few hours

This means you don’t need to wait on a team to approve every minor revision or draw every flowchart from scratch. You can handle what makes sense — and do it correctly.


A Small Investment That Pays Off in Every Filing

Once you’re confident with drawing tasks, you’ll notice the difference across your workflow:

  • Faster figure approvals from inventors
  • Fewer errors in filings
  • Less back-and-forth with staff or vendors
  • Greater consistency across applications
  • Smoother amendments during prosecution

Confidence in drawing isn’t about perfection — it’s about speed, clarity, and informed control.
