The plans

How much does Inklaim cost?

Five plans, one way of counting: you pay for the finished figure, when you export it for filing. Choose based on how many patent applications you prepare.

Patent drawings with Inklaim start at €49 per matter, for up to 10 figures. If you prepare drawings every month, choose Professional (€89 a month, 60 figures) or Firm (€159 per seat per month, 100 figures per seat, shared). Each figure beyond the plan costs €2.50; re-exports of the same figure are free for 12 months.

Inklaim is web software from an Italian start-up founded in Turin that prepares draft patent drawings, checked against EPO, UIBM, USPTO, PCT, CNIPA and KIPO rules, from 3D CAD models (STEP/IGES), DXF or vector PDF files, photos of an object, sketches and claims.

How figures are counted

When do you pay for a figure?

Only when the figure is finished and you export it for filing. Drafts, corrections and checks don’t use up any figures.

  1. Upload your filesSTEP or IGES model, DXF, vector PDF, sketch or claims from Word.
  2. Work on the figuresViews, simplification, reference numerals and checks: nothing is counted.
  3. Export for filingPDF for the EPO, UIBM, USPTO or PCT: that is when the figure is counted.
  4. Correct and re-exportAfter an office objection, you re-export the same figure free of charge for 12 months.
  5. Beyond the planEach extra figure costs €2.50, without changing plans.

An application with 12 figures

On the Per matter plan you pay €49 for the first 10 figures and 2 × €2.50 for the other two: €54 in total, with no VAT added.

A firm with 3 seats

On the Firm plan that is €477 a month for 300 figures shared by everyone. Reviewers who approve the drawing sheets don’t take up a seat.

Comparison

What changes from one plan to another?

The features for preparing patent drawing sheets are the same on every plan. What changes is the number of included figures, how you pay and, for Enterprise, where the software runs.

The same on every plan

Your plan doesn’t change where your data is stored

From the free trial to the Firm plan, the infrastructure is the same: data and AI in the European Union, the same security rules. With Enterprise you can also install Inklaim on your own servers.

Data in the European Union

Application, database, uploaded files and backups stay in the EU, even on the €49 plan.

Optional AI, on Google Cloud in the EU

Your firm turns it on or off with a switch. There is a monthly request limit, and usage is visible.

The same security

Each firm’s data isolated down to the database, roles, an activity log and the version history of every figure.

FAQ

Questions about pricing and billing

How much do patent drawings cost with Inklaim?

An application with up to 10 figures costs €49 on the Per matter plan. On Professional, €89 a month for 60 figures, a figure costs less than €1.50 if you use the whole plan. The patent attorney’s review remains the firm’s work.

What does the free trial include?

Fourteen days and 10 watermarked figures, so you can see how Inklaim works on your own matters. Data is stored in the European Union, as on all other plans.

When is a figure counted?

When you export it for filing. While you prepare, correct or check it, you don’t use up any figures. Re-exports of the same figure are free for 12 months.

What happens if I exceed the figures in my plan?

Each extra figure costs €2.50, with no VAT added. You don’t need to change plans for a matter with more figures than usual.

Do the prices include VAT?

No VAT is added: Inklaim uses the Italian flat-rate scheme (regime forfettario, Art. 1(54–89) of Law 190/2014), so the price shown is the price you pay. These are launch prices, updated October 2026.

On the Firm plan, do reviewers need a seat?

No. A reviewer views and approves the drawing sheets without editing them and does not take up a seat. The Firm plan starts at 3 seats, each with 100 figures shared across the firm.

How much does the pilot project cost?

The financial terms of the pilot are agreed with the firm. The pilot lasts 4 weeks, involves 3–6 people and uses Inklaim to redo 3 matters already filed and published.

What does Enterprise add?

Sign-in with your company account (single sign-on), the option to install Inklaim on your own servers and connection to your own AI endpoint. It starts at €20,000 a year, with terms to be agreed.

The pilot

Before choosing a plan, test Inklaim on 3 patents already published

In 4 weeks, 3–6 people from your firm use Inklaim to redo the drawing sheets of 3 matters already filed and published. Then we compare time and quality with your usual work, together.
