'''Ink Serialized Format''' ('''ISF''') is a [[Microsoft]] format to store written ink information. The format is mainly used for mobile devices like [[Personal digital assistant]]s, [[tablet computer|tablet PC]]s and [[Ultra-Mobile PC]]s to store data entered with a [[Stylus (computing)|stylus]].<br />
<br />
An ink object is simply a sequence of strokes, where each stroke is a sequence of points, and the points are X, and Y coordinates. Many of the new mobile devices can also provide information such as pressure, and angle. In addition, it can be used to store custom information along with the ink data.<br />

Microsoft has added the ISF format to its technologies available under the [[Microsoft Open Specification Promise|Open Specification Promise]] making ISF related technology patent claims available for everybody to use or implement ISF.<br />
