Design Patent Drawings Services

A utility patent protects the functional, structural, or other aspects of an invention. The utility patent drawings help to define a complex invention and play an important role in the patent application process.

Design patent drawings are very different from the utility patent drawings. The utility patent drawings show the functional elements of an invention, whereas the design patent drawings show the appearance or the surface texture.

To prepare utility patent drawings, you have 2 options:
– Hire a professional draftsperson or drafting company.
– You can prepare them yourself.
However, to prepare legal patent drawings, you must seek help from a professional draftsperson.

The answer depends on what sort of protection you are seeking for your invention. If you wish to secure the functionality of your invention, then you file a utility patent. . A utility patent will grant you exclusive rights to produce and sell a certain article for a given span of time.

If the drawing is supporting a utility patent application it is a utility patent drawing and if it is for a design patent application it is a design patent drawing.

The usual number of drawings which the patent office requires for a design patent application is 7 – including 6 planar views and a perspective view, at times there can still be more based on the complexity of the design. For a Utility patent application the drawings should cover all the functional aspects of the invention which are claimed in the patent, so, the number of drawings may vary based on the nature of the invention.
