Make the visual disclosure deliberate and internally consistent.
Design patent work starts with the appearance to be protected and the views needed to describe it. Drawing choices, consistency, and the treatment of claimed and unclaimed features deserve careful attention.
A scoped engagement can include design intake, coordination with a patent illustrator, preparation of the application, and responses during U.S. examination. Suitability and subject-matter fit are assessed before accepting the work.
What the work can include
- Design disclosure and embodiment review
- Patent-illustrator coordination
- Drawing consistency and view review
- Application preparation and filing support
- Examiner-response preparation
- Coordination with related utility filings
Typical work product
- Coordinated application and drawing package
- Drawing-review checklist

Engagement scope
Design and utility applications address different aspects of an invention. The appropriate protection strategy depends on the specific product and disclosure.
