Why Patent Drawing ?
- Enhances understanding: Patent drawings provide a visual representation of the invention that can help to enhance understanding of its features and functionality. This can be particularly important for complex inventions that may be difficult to describe in words alone.
- Supports patentability: Patent drawings can help to support the patentability of an invention by providing clear and precise documentation of its features and functionality. This can help to demonstrate that the invention is novel, non-obvious, and adequately described in the patent application.
- Facilitates communication: Patent drawings can be easily understood by people who may not be familiar with the technical language used in the patent application. This can help to facilitate communication between patent attorneys or agents and inventors or stakeholders.
