patent drawings from within your office that can be filed at the Patent

have to wait for the formal drawings to be sent as you will already have
them in hand.
Currently, over 98% of our clients are
using e-mail to receive patent drawings from
us.

Procedure to use the internet
to receive patent drawings
-
Send to Gallagher's Patent Drafting the
drawings using one of the conventional methods such as regular mail,
fax, overnight service, or as an e-mail attachment. Clients send work
using a wide variety of electronic files which we can convert or
reformat as needed.
-
We will prepare your drawings using our
drawing software and then create a password protected Adobe Acrobat
file. The file would then be attached to an e-mail addressed to you
and sent via the Internet.
-
You would receive the file and start to
open it using the Adobe Acrobat Reader installed on your computer. A
window would pop up and ask you to enter the password that we had
agreed upon in advance. Here is an
example file that has the password "test".
-
You could then print out the drawings to
review them.
-
If there are no corrections, you are
done at this point. If corrections are needed they can be sent by
phone, fax, etc. We would make any corrections needed and resend the
password protected Adobe Acrobat file.
-
At this point you would have at your
computer a file that can be used to print out your formal drawings on
demand.
