Which diagram types are native in PatentFig AI?

The logic workspace provides method flowcharts, system block diagrams, data-flow diagrams, and state-transition diagrams as four explicit output families.

Can I use an existing UML or sequence diagram?

Yes. Upload or describe it as source material. PatentFig AI converts the relevant modules, relationships, messages, or states into the closest patent-oriented native figure; UML, sequence, ER, and use-case are not separate dedicated mode selectors.

How many modules should a software patent figure show?

Show the major modules needed to understand the claimed architecture. If labels become small or connectors cross heavily, split the system into overview and detail figures.

Can vendor names appear inside the blocks?

Usually replace vendor names with functional roles such as language model service, payment processor, or object storage so the figure stays aligned with the disclosure rather than one deployment.

Do I need both a system diagram and a method flowchart?

Often yes. The system diagram supports what the components are and how they connect; the method flowchart supports what the claimed process does over time.

Software Patent Diagram Generator

Turn software behavior into separate structural and procedural figures that support the claims.

Four native logic-diagram families
README, claims, architecture notes, or diagrams as input
Functional module names instead of vendor branding
Separate structure, data movement, behavior, and method views

Software Patent Diagram Generator cover example — Example output: software-patent figures with modules, arrows, and reference numerals that meet patent drawing rules.

Choose the diagram by claim type

Use a system block diagram for components, a data-flow diagram for information movement, a state-transition diagram for behavior, and a method flowchart for ordered steps.
UML, sequence, ER, and use-case diagrams can be used as source references; they are converted into the closest patent-oriented native figure rather than exposed as separate dedicated modes.

Match each claim to a native diagram family

A software filing is clearer when architecture, information flow, state behavior, and method order are not forced into one page.

System block diagram

Show major functional modules, subsystem boundaries, and primary interconnections for system or apparatus claims.

Data-flow or state-transition diagram

Choose data flow when movement and transformation matter; choose state transition when events and state changes define behavior.

Method flowchart

Use ordered action steps and decision branches for method claims, with S100-style numbering when step labels are enabled.

Convert product documentation into patent language

Product diagrams optimize for implementation and presentation; patent figures should emphasize stable functions and claimed relationships.

Remove implementation branding

Replace vendor and product names with durable functional roles unless a specific implementation is genuinely part of the disclosure.

Split overloaded source diagrams

Separate deployment, architecture, user interface, and method behavior into companion figures instead of shrinking one product slide.

Keep labels and numerals stable

Use short module names inside shapes and consistent external numerals that the specification can cite across figures.

Common mistakes in software patent diagrams

Pasting the product architecture slide directly into the patent application — branding and vendor names count as extraneous matter.

Naming modules with implementation labels ("Stripe webhook", "OpenAI endpoint") instead of stable functional names.

Forcing architecture, method, and UI into one diagram instead of splitting them into companion figures.

Omitting reference numerals because "the modules are obvious from the names."
