Quality translations by experienced and qualified patent translator(s) with honed skills.
Who we are & what motivates us
Working at the forefront of innovation in a fast-changing world makes patent translation both enjoyable and satisfying.
Our experience in the field of patent and intellectual property translation is extensive — with decades of combined experience and expertise — for patent-related documents published with the European patent office, World intellectual Property organisation and the German Patent and Trade Mark Office.
Translation & language services
Our specialism is patent translation — primarily with the language pairs German-English and Russian-English. We are skilled at patent translation since we focus exclusively on this technical field. This has allowed us to hone our craft for well over a decade.
Associated linguistic and translation-related services are provided in this context.
Sharing our knowledge & experience
We want to share our many insights.
Think of it as a distillation of the wisdom gained through many years of immersion in everything patents: PCT rules and guidelines, expert opinions on patentability, style guides, common applicant and/or translator errors/oversights, the common pitfalls to look out for and what characteristics make for a successful patent application.
Guaranteed quality
Translating Patents is a boutique agency specialising in patent translation — primarily with the language pairs German-English and Russian-English.
We are a collaboration of experienced and expert patent translators who bring you extensive language and IP expertise as well as experience in the field of patent translation.
For over a decade, we have been the indispensable, go-to patent translators working at the proverbial coalface in the provision of services to the World Intellectual Property Organization.
Our team of language and patent specialists provide valuable patent translation services in a wide range of technical fields and industries, covering: mechanical engineering, electrical engineering, electronics, IT, chemistry, life sciences, biotechnology, pharmaceuticals and medical devices.
When you are ready to order a translation:
- Contact us by email, specifying the work that you require (e.g. full translation into English), including any special requirements/requests you may have.
- Send us a description of the document, including details on the type of document, the file format, the size/volume of the document and the source language.
- We confirm receipt of your enquiry and provide a quote and estimated time that it will take to complete the work (the specific date/deadline depending on when the proposal is accepted and when pre-payment is made).
- You accept the proposal and provide advanced payment for the work.
- We confirm receipt of payment and commencement of work.
- The completed translation is provided in the agreed format and delivered by your requested method (e.g. email, cloud etc.).
When it comes to choosing a patent translator, it’s largely simply a matter of using the correct tool for the job. There is a lot hinging on the good and faithful translation of patent document(s), so it makes sense to employ a specialist in this endeavour — people with extensive experience over many years and even decades in translating the types of documents that you also require to be translated.
We have honed our craft over the years to not only be well versed in the idiosyncrasies of patent translation and style — working on behalf of the World Intellectual Property Organization and European Patent Office — but in so doing have become very familiar with the potential pitfalls and challenges that such translation can bring.
It is also a matter of integrity for us. We know where our competencies lie and therefore have committed to providing translation in a domain in which we are indeed specialists. Just like we would not expect literary translators to dabble in technical patent translation, we also stick to what we know and thereby ensure that we are only ever providing services of the utmost quality.
