Patent Translation

Our patent translations are requested by clients in Europe, USA, Asia and Japan. Our regular clients include:

• Patent attorney offices (approximately 200 worldwide)

• Patent departments of large companies

• Research & development

• Inventors etc

Since we can look on over 35 years of experience, we know how the content and formatting of a patent should appear. Our patent translators are therefore very familiar with:

• patent-specific technical language

• structural content of patent specifications

• vocabulary of the respective patent class

• formatting of patent specifications

Your patent specifications will be translated into all languages of the world by native speakers who live in the target country and have in-depth knowledge of the respective technical field and patent class. Our patent translators are, for example, engineering graduates in electrical engineering, mechanical engineers, physicists, chemists, biologists etc. as well as graduate technical translators having many years of translation experience in patent affairs. These translators have therefore received their training to become patent translators either at patent attorneys, patent departments etc., or some patent translators have been trained by us. All our colleagues are familiar with the high duty of care with which patent translations in particular must be carried out.

If a certification of the translation of your patent application should be required by the national legislative authority, we can issue a so-called Translator’s Certificate at any time.

In addition to the high commitment of our patent translators, our clients also value our absolute punctuality and reliability, two essential points with regard to deadlines in patent affairs. Even with very short deadlines, we do everything we can to meet your wishes. If necessary, our translators work over the weekend for you.

High quality at fair prices – with this motto we have been successful for more than 35 years. It is important to us that you are informed of the costs at all times.

• We calculate patent translations - differently according to client and country - either by the number of words in the target language or per standard line of the target language.

• Patent attorneys usually require an invoice per word whilst company clients frequently require an invoice per standard line. In some countries invoicing is exclusively per word of the source text. We are also guided by our clients’ wishes.

• If you compare us with the competitors you will be surprised at the favourable rates of our patent translations.
