About
Pathcharter
There is no definitive map from idea to patent—no single course to follow when protecting something truly new. Each invention is uncharted territory, navigated by brave explorers: inventors, attorneys, and advocates of innovation. At Pathcharter, we are the wayfinders working behind the scenes—charting that path one drawing at a time.
Founded in Minnesota and proudly rooted in the Midwest, Pathcharter provides world-class patent and trademark illustration for intellectual property professionals across the country. We specialize in precise, regulation-compliant drawings for utility patents, design patents (U.S. and Hague), PCT applications, and stylized trademarks.
With deep expertise in the complex requirements of the USPTO, WIPO, and international offices, we help attorneys and inventors alike present their ideas clearly, accurately, and persuasively.
From repurposing CAD files to speed up turnaround and reduce costs, to consulting on office action responses and replacement sheets, we’re more than a drafting service—we’re a strategic partner in your IP process.
Whether you’re a solo inventor or part of a national IP firm, Pathcharter is here to guide your innovation from concept to protection.
Let’s find a way forward — together.
