Scheduling
IMTechnicals offers flexible scheduling/rate options providing for and balancing with a client’s shifting budget vs deadline needs. Whether your need is urgent or not, we tailor our service package to best suit your need at that time. The highest level of savings is afforded when clients are in the position to engage services early in the process allowing more than ample time to render, review and finalize services. Finalization edit requests for projects underway and the production of drawings with shorter filing timeframes receive priority over the production of pending non-urgent services. Clients should anticipate the return delivery of finalization edits within 1-5 business days.
We work with a client’s delivery schedule request on a project by project basis and subject to current availability. Please allow for weekends and holidays to be excluded from all scheduling estimates. Request our rate card for additional guidance.
Biotechnology
Each category of illustration has technical challenges requiring your illustrators to possess specific expertise to successfully produce acceptable work-products. Biotechnology illustration requires a unique kind of skill and patience to overcome office issues especially PCT actions.
Whether you are filing with USPTO or PCT, an IMTechnicals illustrator possesses the expertise you need to succeed.
Note: For Biotech work, it is common to receive a volume of client supplied materials used in preparing formal drawings which may include but is not limited to DOCX, PPTX, PDF, SnapGene source files and a number of other sources from client supplied publications to support preparation.
Design Patent
Industrial design illustration requires an intentional focus on producing consistency and clarity among the various drawing views and in the claim presentation. An IMTechnicals illustrator possesses the focus and attention to detail that you need to succeed.
Utility Patent
The nature of functional design embodied in utility applications can be elegantly simple or exceedingly complex. Whichever direction you application points to, we can prepare any number or any type of view you need to communicate your claims. An IMTechnicals illustrator possesses the experience and skill you need to succeed.
Trademark or Trade Dress
Trademarks are the banner for a company’s brand. The brand is one of the first visual cues the public sees of a product or company. There are times when the appearance of product itself is considered so important to be considered synonymous with the company brand. Whether you are filing trademarks or trade dress applications, IMTechnicals can help your filings succeed.
