On the last couple of patent applications I submitted, I ended up doing 90% of the drawings myself because it turned out to be easier than continuously having to correct the mistakes of the draftsman. My attorney said that my drawings just needed to be shaded and cleaned up a bit, and have the legends applied, but otherwise what ended up going into the applications was essentially my drawings with a few more bells and whistles. His draftsman had just put them on a light table and copied them as is. But I still had to pay for the drawings!
This book was able to get me the rest of the way there by detailing the regulations that the USPTO puts on drawings. They’re not really difficult, but they ARE specific. Don’t be intimidated by them. The very simple drawing style specified by the USPTO is to allow clear reproduction and printing. My attorney charges $295 per figure, and one page can have 2 or 3 figures on it! The last application we submitted had about a dozen figures total. Some of the expense is the work of integrating and describing the drawings, but it is guaranteed to save you money if you do your own drawings. Besides, this ensures that you will be satisfied with the quality and accuracy. Don’t forget you can also have the draftsman do the difficult 3-D “Figure 1″ bit, and you do the simpler stuff. Like me, I’ll bet you’ll find it easier than you thought!
I have all of David Pressman’s books on patenting, you know why? Because I filed my own patent using these books. That’s how good they are. They really do have step by step instructions. He also has software that helps you prepare the docs. I sort of used that as well. Again, reasonable priced, and useful. I strongly recommend these books for anyone that wants to File a Patent. They will allow you to do it yourself without an attorney.
I bought this book and Patent Pending in 24 Hours. The latter was a complete disappointment (read my review of it). This book however, was fairly detailed and answered quite a few questions for me. I am trained as a Graphic Designer. So I was very interested in doing the drawings myself on the computer. While the book focuses on traditional drawings for the most part, the information is still relevant for computer drawings. The book tells you what parts you need to draw and what to leave out. It also talks about how to shade the different elements. Which is one of the major things the examiner uses to differentiate the parts of your invention that connect or are attached. The book also goes into detail about how to label your figures and numbering of parts.
The one thing that did bother me about this book is that more than once they tell you to reference Patent It Yourself for more information. I bought this book because it implies that it will tell you everything you need to know about making patent drawings. I thought it was ridiculous that they spread the information out into their other book as a ploy to make more money. Luckily, there is enough information here to do what you need to do.
Overall I thought the book is a good collection of information. Despite the references to their other book.

On the cusp of the Apple event, new patents have been granted by the United States Patent and Trademark Office, showing a proximity-sensing multitouch screen amongst other features. It could be a patent for today’s product announcement, or The Future. Patently Apple dug up the goods for 13 patents, all of which have been authorized by the USPTO for Apple to use, some years after Apple first filed for them. The timing is worth considering, with the closeness to today’s event either being a deliberate hype tactic for whatever’s announced today, or coincidental (and for future products.) The 13 patents include an Automatic Detection of Channel Bandwidth, Color Management System, Apparatus and Method for Rotating the Display Orientation of a Captured image, a Video Conferencing System, Interface for Providing Modeless Timeline Based Selection of an Audio or Video File, but none are quite as telling as the Proximity Detector for Tablets. For the full descriptions of each patent, including…

Watch all five parts of this video. Patenting life forms and manipulating for a company’s sole benefit is stealing humanity’s birth right. I’m frankly scared of the world’s future under Monsanto control.

Ask locals until you get a few that agree on the "good" one. Even other attorneys (if you know any honest ones) will give you a good referral.
It took me a while to find a good one – and it was $14k from start to finish, but well worth the money. He came up with things I would have never thought of alone or with a cheap attorney.

Well they can’t hide useful concepts _instead_ of developing and marketing them or they’d have nothing to hide. The answer to your question is simply your question in statement form. To maximize profits, companies roll there products out slowly over time on a schedule. They stretch the schedule out as long as possible in order to make as much as they can from each idea and in a highly regulated, IP dominated mixed-market like we have now, it easy for companies to collude and coordinate it.
good drawings there really good
