Patent Translation Services

When you need a patent document but in a different language from the one it's published in . . .

Linguistic Systems, Inc. has been providing expertise for patent translations since 1967. Performed by specialists with the relevant background, Linguistic System, Inc. delivers the accurate patent translation work needed for correct evaluation or filing in foreign or international patent offices -- European Patent Office (EPO), Japanese Patent Office (JPO), as well as, U.S. Patent and Trademark Office (USPTO). Generally, when both English and foreign (local) language versions are submitted, the foreign language version, which is the translation, is the controlling version.

With patent translation, Linguistic Systems, Inc. realizes that accuracy and subject matter knowledge are vital, especially when many dollars are at risk.  As a result,  Linguistic Systems, Inc.  maintains a quality assurance system that ensures the accuracy required. Our patent translators have a combination of technical background and linguistic ability which is important in understanding and picturing what is being described in a foreign language.

Linguistic Systems, Inc. provides an effective means to reduce cost by using machine translation of foreign patents at minimal expense for a first pass to screen out the foreign patents that do not warrant careful review. For those patents that are significant, we can post-edit the machine translation to deliver a highly accurate rendering or disregard the machine translation to perform a new human translation. Additional savings come from the use of a memory tool that captures and re-uses repeat text (including fuzzy matches), commonly found in patent applications.

Some of the major fields we work in are:
