NEED FOR PATENT TRANSLATION SERVICES
The need for patent translation arises from the global nature of innovation and intellectual property protection. It is essential for international protection, market expansion, legal compliance, risk mitigation, strategic advantage, and clear communication.
Patents are limited to specific territories. If you want to protect your invention in multiple countries, your options are:
- Direct or Paris route: File separate applications in each desired country simultaneously or within 12 months after the first filing in a Paris Convention country.
- Patent Cooperation Treaty (PCT) route: Submit an application under the PCT directly or within 12 months of the first Paris Convention application. This grants legal effect in all PCT member countries.
Major corporations, research institutions, and universities around the world utilize the PCT when they aim to secure international patent protection.
By understanding these options and the importance of patent translation, you can make informed decisions to safeguard their inventions and capitalize on opportunities in diverse markets worldwide.

OUR PATENT TRANSLATION SERVICES
Patent translation is a specialized field that involves converting patent documents from one language to another, ensuring the protection of intellectual property rights across different countries.
This process encompasses translating various documents such as patent applications, specifications, claims, and office actions. Translators must possess technical expertise in fields like biotechnology, pharmaceuticals, engineering, etc., as well as a deep understanding of patent law.
They must maintain accuracy and consistency in terminology, adhere to international standards like the Patent Cooperation Treaty (PCT), and meet the specific requirements of different patent offices.
Patent translation can be for two purposes: patent translation for filing and patent translation for information.
Patent translation for filing
When seeking patent protection in a foreign country, a patent application must be filed in the language accepted by the patent office. This requires accurate and complete translation that complies with the specific requirements of the office.
Errors or omissions in the translation could jeopardize the application’s chances of being accepted.
Patent translation for information
Patent translation for information purposes is done to understand patent documents without filing a patent application. Researchers, companies, or legal professionals often use it to gain insights into patents granted in other countries.
The goal is to extract relevant information from the document therefore the translation should be clear and understandable.
