Why STIPPLES Drawings Matter: Elevate Design Patent Protection Through Visual Precision

📎 Design Patents Are Granted (or Rejected) Based on Drawings

As a patent attorney, you already know: the drawings are the claim. Yet many attorneys overlook how visual quality and consistency can impact prosecution, litigation, and enforceability.

That’s where STIPPLES comes in.

A single shading inconsistency or missing edge in a figure can lead to §112 rejections or narrow claim interpretation. We eliminate that risk at the source—with precision.

Whether you’re filing for a minimalist product or a complex ornamental design, STIPPLES ensures your drawings clearly communicate what you’re claiming—and what you’re not.


⚖️ What Makes a STIPPLES Drawing Legally Strategic?

STIPPLES isn’t just about “pretty pictures.” It’s about elevating the precision and clarity of your drawings in ways that strengthen the legal foundation of your patent.

✅ 1. Litigation-Ready Consistency

  • Every visible contour line is harmonized across views.
  • No geometry mismatches. No missing shading. No examiner confusion.

✅ 2. Carefully Controlled Shading

  • Accurate stipple gradients suggest form without creating ambiguity.
  • Helps maximize claim scope while avoiding over-claiming.

✅ 3. Designed for §112 and §103 Defense

  • Clear differentiation between claimed and disclaimed elements.
  • View completeness and perspective precision support validity and enable broad enforcement.
