Love the minimalist look.

Suggestion: Perhaps you could add a section for fictional patents from sci-fi universes

- Warp Drive from Star Trek

- Proton pack from Ghostbusters

- Memory erasing device from MiB

- Iron Man's arc reactor

- Batmobile

Two things -

1) I highly recommend Intentio, http://www.intentioipi.com, if you decide to pursue creation of patent drawings for fictional devices.

2) Be careful you don't tread on copyrights and/or trademarks.
