Welcome to my technical illustration page. While I have worked in many mediums, one of my favorites is technical line drawings in Adobe Illustrator. For Patent drawings, I work directly with the inventor, revising their idea until it is the way they want it, and also the way that will be legally sound. Since starting Lightnin' Graphics in 2000, I have done literally thousands of Disclosure Document Patent drawings, with nver a single rejection.

A Disclosure document through a Patent company will cost you $1200. and UP. I can do them for $400., with color available at $600. (Line drawings are easier to FAX.)

If you're thinking about getting a Patent on an invention, you're going to need a Disclosure Document, which shows and tells what the invention is and what it does, no matter who does your actual Patent.

A Disclosure Document for a Patent consists of a line drawing(s) of your Invention, listing and pointing out the components, with a write-up about what your invention is and what it does. I believe in simplicity. I have done freelance work for a Patent Company who sent me twenty page descriptions, and at the end of twenty pages I still didn't know what the invention did. It's called, "fluff"; give the client lots of pages of something so they'll think they're getting a lot for their money. If you can describe your invention in one page then do it.

Simplicity. No Patent executive, merchandiser or marketing agent has time to read twenty pages.

The drawing should show them your idea in one glance. This is not a blueprint; that will be done later by whoever manufacturers your invention. I do my drawings in 3/4 view, like a photograph from above and to one side, to show the depth of the gizmo as well as the width in one view. I would like any photo's you take of your prototype (should you have one) to include several 3/4 views.

We do not introduce measurments into our drawing. If you specify a wheel on your invention being four inches in diameter, then all someone else has to do is make theirs three and a half to have a gizmo different from yours. They need three things specifically different to get their own Patent. So we don't include sizes unless they are specific to the function of your invention.

Also, I GUARANTEE every drawing I do.
