Patent Translation Services

Work With a Professional Patent Translator to Protect Your Innovations Globally

Safeguarding your intellectual property is a cornerstone of success in today’s global business landscape. Patents protect your ideas, work, and monetary investment, helping you build a solid foundation for international success, and often require professional translation services. Translating patent documents requires a deep understanding of technical jargon and legal terminology. At JR Language, we combine linguistic expertise with specialized knowledge in various technical fields, ensuring every detail of your patent is accurately translated.

Our experienced translators at JR Language offer professional patent translation services, ensuring your inventions are protected across borders. We provide top-tier patent translation services for multinational corporations, patent law firms, and individuals worldwide.

The Importance of Patent Document Translation

Filing a patent takes thousands of hours and dollars, and the last thing you want is for your hard work to be stopped or copied because of a poor patent translation.

Protecting Your Intellectual Property

Patent Translation Image
Patent applications are legal documents. Faithfulness to the original document and accurate translation are of the utmost importance. Machine translation, while useful, has limitations, especially with complex patent documents and prior art. Human expertise is crucial to ensure accuracy and quality. Improperly translated patents lose their value and expose your business to the risk of copyright theft.

Compliance with Legal Requirements

Filing a patent with the United States Patent and Trademark Office is a time-consuming, document-intense process. Once you’re granted your USPTO patent, you may think you’re done – but you’re not. A patent registered in the US has no effect in other countries.  You must protect your copyrights in every country where you conduct business by registering your patents and trademarks in foreign jurisdictions with documents in the target language. We work with corporate legal departments and corporate IP departments, as well as your local patent attorney, local patent agents, and your local patent office.

Expanding Your Market Reach

Patent translation is necessary in the language of every country in which your company currently does business or wants to expand into business. Accurately translated patents provide the foundation for international business success. Companies with existing patents must have translated versions of the applications and associated intellectual property documents to protect their intellectual property worldwide.

JR Language Translators are Experts in Patent Translations

Patent translation is a highly technical process that requires linguistic knowledge, subject matter expertise, local patent laws, understanding of intellectual property rights, and the foreign filing process of international patents. You need a trusted team of linguistic experts to ensure a smooth patent translation process and submission—JR Language is here to help you at every step. 

Global IP Services and Worldwide Network         

We work with a global team of translators and patent legal experts, enabling us to provide comprehensive IP services worldwide. Our team understands the nuances of international patent systems and can guide you on the best international filing strategies. 

International Patent Filing and PCT Filing

The PCT, or Patent Cooperation Treaty, is an international treaty that simplifies filing for international patent applications. The PCT applies to over 157 countries and provides one application for files. However, this application must be translated into the required language of each country to be accepted.

We provide comprehensive support for:

  • Direct national patent filings in various phases
  • Patent Cooperation Treaty (PCT) applications 
  • European Patent Office (EPO) filings

Types of Intellectual Property Translations

Our team of professional translators, patent experts, and legal experts work together to offer two main types of patent translation services.  

IP Translation Services Image

Filing Translation Service

This service translates your patent application for submission to foreign patent offices. Managing translation costs is crucial in this process, as it can significantly reduce financial burdens and streamline administration. This is a critical part of patent translation as these documents must be completely technically accurate and adhere to a specific country’s formatting and filing process.

Information Translation Service

Information translations are often needed to accompany the filing translation service for research, due diligence, or litigation. These documents must adhere to the same standard of accuracy but do not necessarily need to meet the formatting requirements. 

Patent Documents Translation Options

Patent Application Translations

Translation for a patent application for submission to foreign patent offices, including specifications, claims, abstracts, and patent drawings. This service ensures compliance with local standards and requirements to keep your patent application moving.

Patent Specification Translations

Translation specifically for technical descriptions and specifications defining the scope and functionality of the patented item or object.

Patent Claims Translations

Professional translations specifically for the claims section of a patent application, which defines the boundaries of legal protection.

Prior Art Translations

Prior art translations are for existing patents, patent drawings, and other relevant technical documents to assess a patent’s novelty and originality.

Office Action Response and Patent Translate

Translations for official communications from the patent offices can include objections to the patent, requests for patent amendments, and examination reports.
