Who we are & what motivates us
Working at the intersection of language, technology and innovation makes patent translation both challenging and rewarding.
Translating Patents provides specialist German- and Russian-to-English patent translation services, drawing on more than a decade of practical experience with patent applications and related documentation, including PCT/WIPO and EPC/EPO material.
Translation & language services
Patent translation is at the heart of what we do. We specialise primarily in German-to-English and Russian-to-English patent translation and revision, together with related patent-office and technical documentation.
Our specialist focus supports careful terminology research, consistency across claims, descriptions and drawings, and close attention to the wider technical and patent context.
Sharing our knowledge & experience
Alongside our translation work, Translating Patents shares practical insights and creates educational and visual content exploring patent language, inventions and the patent system.
Our aim is to make specialist patent knowledge more accessible while drawing on the experience gained through day-to-day work with patents and technical subject matter.
Guaranteed quality
Translating Patents specialises in patent translation from German and Russian into English.
Our work is built around extensive practical experience of patent documentation, close attention to specialist terminology and patent conventions, and the technical research required to understand inventions in context.
Over more than a decade of patent-translation work, we have developed substantial experience with PCT/WIPO and EPC/EPO documentation and with the recurring linguistic, technical and terminological challenges presented by patent texts.
Our experience spans a broad range of technical fields, including mechanical engineering, electrical and electronic engineering, IT and telecommunications, chemistry and materials, life sciences, biotechnology, pharmaceuticals and medical technology.
Translating Patents also shares specialist knowledge through articles, explainers and visual media exploring patent translation, patent language and inventions.

When choosing a patent translator, specialist experience matters. Patent documents combine complex technical subject matter with their own terminology, structure and drafting conventions, and seemingly small inconsistencies can affect clarity and meaning.
At Translating Patents, we focus on patent translation and related documentation. Years of practical work with PCT/WIPO and EPC/EPO material have provided extensive familiarity with the recurring challenges of patent language, terminology and technical interpretation.
Our approach combines language expertise with technical research, contextual analysis and careful quality checking. By concentrating on the field we know, we aim to provide precise, consistent and reliable English patent translations.
