Internationally compliant patent drawings
Our drawings are configured using a combination of rules from countries throughout the world. The result is patent drawings that will pass in the US and internationally without any alteration - except for removal/translation of English text when required.

Electronic/Traditional delivery
Drawings can be delivered digitally via email, diskette or CD in Adobe® Acrobat® pdf or tiff formats. We can also provide hard copy on bond, bristol or vellum.

Design patents - a specialty
We are design patent experts. We're proud that our digital patent illustrations retain the "artistic feel" of hand drawing and don't look computer generated. No job (and no perspective) is too difficult for our talented patent illustration staff. CAD drawings, photos, engineering drawings, models, and actual objects are all acceptable source materials. Shading and phantom lines are easily removed for those countries that don't accept them.

Design patents - photographic
When time or budget does not permit drawings, photos may be submitted for design applications. We have a complete professional photographic studio on premises which enables us to take professional, well-lit photos of your device. Our expertise with digital retouching enables us to remove limiting features and details for broader claims, as well as isolate the product from a background.

Computer screen shots/Interface designs
Another specialty, patents featuring computer screen shots can be expertly drawn or they can be cost effectively printed as photos on our archival inkjet printers! This requires a special trick to "upsample" an image to avoid pixelation without losing detail,...and we've perfected it!

Color drawings
Sometimes your drawings require color (must be petitioned for). Draftinc can create full color patent drawings and then print them on our color laser or archival inkjet printers.

Photo retouching
Utilizing our photo editing/retouching capabilities
We can:
  • Remove limiting features for broader claims.
  • Remove unclaimed objects from backgrounds.
  • Place elements in different enviorments.
  • Highlight/clarify important features.
  • Create images for which you have no corresponding photo.
Trademark drawings
Our huge library of typefaces enables us to match most fonts - eliminating the need for redrawing a logo. We can deliver trademarks in jpeg or gif formats for electronic filing, or in pdf or print for hard copy filing.
