About This Course
This course is built for patent attorneys and agents who want to sketch or edit on their own.
We use Microsoft Visio because it’s widely available, already trusted in law firm environments, and ideal for drafting utility figures. But we cut out the clutter — focusing only on the tools and steps you actually need for patent practice.
From day one, you’ll work hands-on with real-world patent figure tasks. You’ll learn how to annotate, format, revise, and draft drawings that meet USPTO compliance — in just a few focused hours.

Bonus: 1 Year of Access to Premium Annotation Tools
Included with your course — use it to save hours
As part of this course, you’ll get 1 year of access to the IP DaVinci Annotation Stencil — a drag-and-drop tool that makes adding lead lines and reference numbers fast, clean, and compliant.
This side-by-side demo shows how it speeds up one of the most tedious parts of patent figure prep:
~4 seconds per annotation vs. ~45 seconds manually.
Most learners save 30–60 minutes per figure — and eliminate the frustration of nudging arrows, fixing spacing, and realigning text boxes by hand.
“The stencil saves me so much time — I finish annotations in minutes instead of fighting with formatting.”
— Elena G., Patent Attorney – Seattle, WA
Driven by Microcourses
Focused, Practical, and Fast
Each mini-course is small on purpose. We focus on one skill at a time, helping you master it fully before moving to the next. This lets you build confidence and speed without overwhelm.
Once you’ve built the foundational skills, we guide you through the actual process of drafting flowcharts and process diagrams — the most common figure types for software and method claims.
