Patent Illustration Services: Unlock the Power of Visuals in Patent Applications
It becomes necessary to include an illustration in a patent application; these are typically referred to as patent illustrations, patent drawings, patent figures, and patent images, among other names. An illustration is the art of reproducing a real-world object or a functional model of a system into a 2-dimensional platform for the average person's understanding.
The patent law requires a patent application to include at least one drawing if it can effectively illustrate any aspect of the invention. This can greatly benefit the applicant in persuading both the examiner and the general public to understand and approve the idea. As the saying goes, "A picture/drawing can say a thousand words." This is where our expertise comes into play, as we strive to maximize this advantage for both ourselves and the applicants we work with. A strong patent illustration can facilitate patent writing, speeding up the entire process along with the application's prosecution. We are arguing that an application's illustration is just as significant as its drafting, if not more so, and that it requires the same level of knowledge, ability, and diligence as an application's draft.
