Printed Drawings and PDF Drawing Files

• Final patent drawings are provided as printed copies on standard 8.5" × 11" paper or A4 European-size paper, ready for filing with your patent application.
• Electronic drawing files are also available in PDF format for delivery via email, USB drive, or CD. PDF drawing files submitted electronically to the USPTO carry our guarantee for line quality, text size, margin compliance, and related formatting requirements.
• However, if you print your own drawings from a PDF file for paper filing, please verify these items, as your printer quality and margin settings cannot be guaranteed by Technographics. If the drawings are modified and re-saved, the guarantee becomes void.
• Please do not add docket numbers or change reference characters or sheet numbering. These revisions are provided at no charge and help ensure that everyone is working from the same version for future alterations or continuation-in-part (CIP) applications.
• If a patent examiner objects to line quality, text size, or margin accuracy, we can provide a corrected file or hard-copy prints for paper filing.
