Precise Patent Translations

Our team of translators possesses extensive knowledge and experience in translating patents into virtually any target language. We collaborate with a carefully selected network of qualified linguistic specialists and subject matter experts worldwide to ensure that we deliver high-quality translations that adhere to modern patent drafting conventions. 

Our meticulous attention to detail sets our patent translation services apart. Our translators review prior art to ensure field-specific terminology consistency. Upon request, we will work with your team to create client-specific glossaries, enabling seamless terminology tracking throughout the translation process and for future projects. 

Patent translation needs often extend to related documents, including filings, correspondence, and materials from litigation and office actions. Our extensive experience in patent translation covers all these areas, ensuring consistent and accurate translations for all your patent-related documents.

Apex Translations also offers tailored patent translation services to support and align with your specific requirements, such as for the following:

Translating Patents for Information or for Filing Purposes

A patent may need to be translated for informational purposes only. This type of translation is usually required when translating patents for litigation or researching prior art. With that in mind, the translation of a patent for information involves a more literal translation that closely adheres to the content, order, and style of the original patent.

In contrast, when translating a patent for filing, this kind of literal translation is not acceptable. Translators involved in translating patents for filing must have a keen awareness of the differences with regard to the laws, practices and regulations stipulated by the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office (USPTO), the European Patent Office (EPO), and the Japan Patent Office (JPO), for example.

Translating Selective Patent Text

Patent attorneys often require targeted translations for specific purposes, such as identifying relevant prior art or assessing the relevance of patent documents. Our translation services are tailored to meet these varied needs, offering flexible service levels to translate either selected portions or entire documents based on your requirements. 

Patent Gisting

Why invest the time and money in a full patent translation if all you need is specific information regarding a unique aspect or element of a patent or if you just have some questions about a particular patent document? In this case, our patent gisting services may be the right fit for your needs. Our highly qualified and experienced translators can review your documents and provide you with a summary of those aspects and elements. They can also provide any answers to your questions at a fraction of the time necessary for a full patent translation.

Other Intellectual Property Translation Services

As a comprehensive intellectual property translation company, we excel in translating a wide array of Intellectual Property protection materials, covering copyrights, trademarks, trade secret content, licenses, and all related documents. In addition, our proficiency extends to utility model applications, design protection, and trademark protection materials, ensuring that your Intellectual Property needs are comprehensively addressed.

We encourage you to read the publication Technological Changes in the Translation Industry: Implications for US Patent Attorneys to learn more about the importance of choosing the right patent translation service provider.
