Capitol Heights, MD -- October 22, 2001 -- Quinn Patent Inc., a leading national patent drafting services company, unveiled the first Paperless Patent Drawing Solution™ at the American Intellectual Property Lawyers Association (AIPLA) Annual Meeting on October 18, 2001.

The Quinn Paperless Patent Drawing Solution™ allows users to order, review, markup, approve and download patent drawings anytime, anywhere, from a single, secure online location at www.QuinnPatent.com.

The Quinn Paperless Patent Drawing Solution™ is comprised of three principal features: Online Order Desk, Virtual Drawing Board and a Virtual Meeting Room. With the Online Order Desk, users submit order information online, including the ability to attach electronic files. Patent drawings are then prepared and posted online on the Virtual Drawing Board for review, markup, approval and download. Users can easily make adjustments and add comments to drawings using a feature-rich, yet easy to use, markup toolbar. Users can also choose to schedule an online meeting with a draftsperson in the Virtual Meeting Room, where together they can review, discuss and make changes to drawings. Final drawings can be downloaded in either PDF file format for traditional paper filing or in TIFF file format, which has been tested and confirmed to be completely compatible with the Electronic Filing System of the United States Patent and Trademark Office. The Quinn Solution™ does not require any special software. Users simply need a browser, a modem and a dial-up Internet connection.
