Why patent translation is different
Patent claims have a specific legal function. The scope of protection is determined by how the claims read, not by the description or drawings. A claim that is translated inaccurately can produce a scope of protection that is narrower than intended, broader in ways that create prior art problems, or simply invalid in the target jurisdiction.
We translate patent documents with translators who have worked as patent attorneys, patent engineers, or in patent prosecution. They understand what a claim is doing and why it is written the way it is. That understanding does not come from a glossary.
Filings we support
EPO (European Patent Office), DPMA (Deutsches Patent- und Markenamt), USPTO, UK IPO, and national filings in most EU member states. We translate for PCT national phase entries, validation translations for EP grants, and opposition proceedings. Urgent filing translations with confirmed court or office deadlines are handled as priority projects.
