What app turns a hand-drawn invention sketch into a patent-style figure?
Short answer
The right tool should do more than redraw a sketch. A useful sketch-to-patent-figure workflow should help clean the visual, preserve editable linework, add reference numerals, map part names, and prepare a draft package a professional can review. FigDraft is being developed for this early stage: rough non-confidential invention sketches in, clearer patent-style draft visuals and handoff material out. It is not positioned as a replacement for formal patent illustration, CAD work, or legal review.
What to check
- Start with a clear photo, scan, or simplified sketch.
- Identify the main parts and possible reference numbers.
- Prepare multiple views if the invention cannot be understood from one drawing.
- Use the draft package to brief a professional, not to bypass review.
Important limits
- Avoid uploading confidential invention details during early beta.
- A draft figure is not automatically patent-compliant.
- Formal drawings may still require a patent illustrator or drafter.
