Introducing Patent Drawing School for Teams — Role-Based and Scalable

Why Patent Drawing Still Bottlenecks Legal Teams

For many law firms, the patent drawing process is split across roles — attorneys, paralegals, assistants, and outside drafters. But without a shared approach, this often leads to:

• Inconsistent formatting and figure quality
• Slow back-and-forth between roles
• Bottlenecks when key staff are unavailable
• Attorneys spending time reviewing or rewriting drawing edits
• Lost time due to redlines, missed references, or figure rework

Most firms solve this with outside vendors. Few build the internal capability to draft, revise, annotate, and standardize figures in-house — until now.

Introducing: Patent Drawing School for Teams

Patent Drawing School is a role-based, scalable training program designed for patent law teams who want to:

• Produce better figures faster
• Reduce delays caused by drawing edits
• Train new staff efficiently
• Allow attorneys and support roles to collaborate on figures with confidence

The curriculum is built around how real teams operate — and optimized for Microsoft Visio as the core drafting tool.

A Training Program Built for Roles

Each role gets focused, practical training on what they actually need to do — and nothing extra:

🧠 Attorneys

• Learn how to sketch clear flowcharts and system diagrams
• Annotate and revise figures directly in Visio
• Collaborate with drafters and paralegals using editable source files
• Reduce dependency on outside vendors for minor changes

📋 Paralegals & Assistants

• Learn to prepare, update, and finalize formal drawings
• Use standardized stencils for reference numbers and annotations
• Handle office action drawing corrections confidently
• Support attorneys with clean, submission-ready figures

🧑‍💻 Drafters or In-House Designers

• Use the firm’s preferred shapes, stencils, and annotation tools
• Align with attorney expectations faster
• Maintain consistency across complex filings and families

Why Firms Are Moving to a Standardized Drawing Process

Firms that adopt this model report:

• Fewer hours wasted on minor figure edits
• Faster draft-to-submission turnaround
• Better alignment between attorneys and support staff
• Higher drawing consistency across applications
• Lower long-term costs for figure production

The result? A more efficient and predictable patent process that teams can scale — without retraining every time someone leaves or joins.

Designed to Scale — Whether You’re a Team of 3 or 30

Whether you’re training one new assistant or standardizing drawing workflows across multiple offices, Patent Drawing School is designed to scale:

• Online, self-paced modules with practical exercises
• Practice files and stencils tailored to patent workflows
• Built-in tracking for completion and progress
• Team bundles and firm-wide deployment options available

This is not just training. It’s a drawing system built around the way law firms work.
