Claims Decide Protection, So Every Word Counts
A patent translation is read by examiners, competitors, and sometimes a court. A claim translated too broadly or too narrowly can change what is protected.
- PCT national phase filings usually run on fixed deadlines, often 30 or 31 months from priority, so the translation has to be ready on time.
- Claims are translated with consistent terms from the first claim to the last, matched to the description.
- Office actions and prior art are translated so your attorney can respond with the full picture.
- Litigation exhibits get a certified translation when a court needs one.
Our translators are matched by language pair and subject knowledge in your technology, whether that is pharmaceuticals, biotech, or engineering, and every translation is proofread by a second linguist.
