What is a patent translation?
A patent translation is the precise transfer of a patent document from one language to another while maintaining technical terminology, formal structure and legal phrasing. Patent specifications typically include a description, claims, abstract and, where applicable, drawing references. The accuracy of the claims section is particularly critical as it defines the scope of protection.
We translate complete patent specifications, individual claims, technical descriptions and priority documents. As a professional provider of patent document translations, we work closely with your patent attorneys and deliver linguistically accurate translations as a reliable basis for further legal review.
If you’re looking for a patent translation company with proven technical expertise, we’re here to support you.
