About the service
Formal drawings suitable for inclusion in a patent application can be submitted at any point following the initial patent application filing, including within a three-month window after receiving a Notice of Allowance. The key requirement is that these drawings should not introduce any new information when they undergo the formalization process by a patent illustrator. Formal drawings do not contain dimensions and are not drawn to scale. In the realm of patent documentation, drawings play a crucial role in ensuring comprehension. Well-executed drawings enhance the patent's clarity, a stipulation mandated by numerous Patent Offices worldwide. This significance is especially pronounced in technology fields like Mechanical Engineering, Life Sciences, and Biomedical Devices, where a patent may be unintelligible without accurately rendered illustrations.
Methodology
Creating formal patent drawings requires a specific methodology to ensure they meet the necessary standards for inclusion in a patent application. Here's a step-by-step methodology for preparing formal patent drawings
Understand the Invention
We begin by thoroughly understanding the invention or innovation described in the patent application. Familiarize yourself with its key components, features, and functionalities.
Identify the Views
Determining the different views needed to fully illustrate the invention. Common views include perspective, front, top, side, and cross-sectional views, depending on the complexity of the invention.
Choose the Format
Determining the format for the drawings based on the patent office's requirements and guidelines. Typically, drawings should be black and white, clear, and free from any unnecessary shading or coloring.
Show Functional Behavior
Depicting how the invention functions by illustrating the movement or interaction of its components when relevant. Arrows, dashed lines, and annotations can be used to indicate functional aspects.
Eliminate Ambiguities
Reviewing the drawings to eliminate any ambiguities or inconsistencies. Ensure that the drawings clearly convey the invention's structure and operation without leaving room for misinterpretation.
Follow Patent Office Guidelines
Familiarizing our self with the specific guidelines and requirements of the patent office where you intend to file the application. Different patent offices may have slightly different standards for drawings.
Review and Finalize
Conducting a thorough review of the drawings to ensure they meet all requirements and accurately represent the invention. Make any necessary revisions or corrections.
By following this methodology, you can create formal patent drawings that enhance the clarity and comprehensibility of your patent application, increasing the likelihood of successful patent grant.
