Patent translation

Your intellectual property is valuable. We help you to protect it internationally. Key elements of your success are your ideas, innovative solutions and inventions. This is why it is important to have them patented. Also abroad. For only in this way is your authorship – and thus your success – safeguarded in the global markets. Whether you want to have a patent specification translated from German into English, French, Chinese or any other language of this world or vice-versa. Whether your text only comprises 10 pages or 200 pages – with the Transline patent translators it is in good hands.

Just like clockwork – our workflow

Patent specifications are normally highly specialised – legally as well as technically. Every word, the syntax and possibly even a single comma is important. In a dispute, the patent specification must be watertight. The claims to be protected are also defined as broadly as possible to close any possible gaps that could be used to make the patent null and void. These fine details need to be reflected in the target language – accurately, unambiguously and in the spirit of the original.

To ensure that you get the maximum benefit from your patent translation, we have developed a quality assurance process that meets the special requirements of intellectual property (IP).


Multilingual IP in 5 steps

Step 1: Delivery deadline and terminology

First, we confirm the order and agree on the delivery date with you. We then define the technical and legal terminology based on your specifications and – if available – on previous translations. If terminology is not specified, we will do the research for you.

Step 2: Translation and proofreading

A professionally qualified and native language translator translates your text into the respective target language, incorporating the relevant terminology. The translation is then checked for completeness, correctness (e.g. of figures) and faithfulness to the original.

Step 3: Technical review

An expert in the relevant subject area checks the translation for technical correctness. The translator and the reviewer agree on any potential discrepancies.

Step 4: Final editing and delivery

The target text is fully edited one more time to fine tune the final details and to ensure the authenticity of the language. You then receive your translation, which is ready to be submitted to the patent authorities.

Step 5: Report

Discrepancies in the original text may be discovered during the translation process. A detailed report provides you with important information regarding source-language issues and clarifies decisions made during the translation process.
