"Patent Drawing Automation That Delivers Speed and Compliance"

5/5

What do you like best about Pinch Patent Drawings?

Pinch completely automates the conversion of CAD files into globally compliant patent drawings in minutes. The platform’s accuracy and built-in compliance with USPTO, PCT, and other standards have drastically reduced the back-and-forth with drafters and saved my team hours per filing. The fact that everything is handled securely—no human access to files is a huge plus for confidentiality. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Pinch Patent Drawings?

Pinch currently doesn’t support line shading for U.S. design patent drawings, so we still need to do that manually for design filings. Also, while the outputs are excellent for mechanical and utility patents, more customization options for unusual file types or design elements would be a welcome addition as the product evolves. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Pinch Patent Drawings solving and how is that benefiting you?

Pinch eliminates the delays and cost of traditional patent drafting by making drawing production nearly instant. I can go from CAD to compliant PDFs and editable vectors without the usual wait, which helps us meet urgent deadlines and scale patent filings without additional staffing. By removing manual drawing work, we reduce errors and keep our IP operations agile. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Great for Patent Drawings Required for Mechanical Inventions"

5/5

What do you like best about Pinch Patent Drawings?

The automation of converting a CAD file into 14-globally compliant patent drawings for utility patents for mechanical inventions is a real time saver for patent attorneys. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Pinch Patent Drawings?

For US design patents it does not support line shading at the moment. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Pinch Patent Drawings solving and how is that benefiting you?

Patent attorneys need to work with illustrators for patent drawings. If the illustrators are adept and understand the drawing requirements of PCT, USPTO, EPO, and other patent offices, life is easier. But it's often not the case. The to-and-fro with illustrators may sometimes put patent attorneys in tough spots who have strict filing deadlines. Pinch is a great time saver for them and requires much lesser money compared to the fee of illustrators. With Pinch, in just 50 USD patent attorneys get 14 compliant patent drawings that meet international standards and cover all views top, bottom, isometric, etc for both with and without tangents. This prevents attorneys from slashing their margins. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
