The sheets of drawings should be numbered in consecutive Arabic numerals, starting with 1, within the sight as defined in paragraph (g) of this section. These numbers, if present, must be placed in the middle of the top of the sheet, but not in the margin.
Color drawings are acceptable in US patent applications, but not in international applications (see PCT Rule 11.13). For utility applications, the following are required for submitting color drawings [see see 37 CFR 1.84(a)(2)]:
A patent application or patent may contain drawings, also called patent drawings, illustrating the invention, some of its embodiments (which are particular implementations or methods of carrying out the invention), or the prior art.
Patent Drawing Rules and Best Practices Clarity and Neatness. Patent drawings must be clear, legible, and presented in a clean and professional manner. Size and Format. Numbering and Labeling. Cross-Referencing. Views and Figures. Consistency with Claims and Description. Black and White Drawings. Use of Symbols and Legends.
Surface Shading Lines are used to shade surfaces and should be thinner than bold or thin lines. When shading cylindrical spherical surfaces, distance between the lines gradually increases. Closer together lines indicate the dark/shaded side and wider spaced lines indicate the light side of the object.
To draw patent drawings: Understand the patent office requirements. Use appropriate tools (traditional or digital). Start with a rough sketch. Identify and highlight key features. Create detailed, precise drawings with clear labeling. Follow patent office guidelines on line thickness, shading, etc.
The answer is YES! if a petition is granted explaining why the color drawings or photographs are necessary for illustrating the claimed invention. Under 35 U.S.C. 113, the Applicant for a patent must furnish a drawing where necessary for the understanding of the subject matter to be patented.
