The Importance of Quality Patent Translation
Are you releasing a new product on the market or aiming to introduce a particular process?
Patents play an important role in a company’s success. If you’re hoping to globalize your business, your patent will need to be translated by a specialized translator.
Due to their technicalities and complexities, translating patents yourself can be a challenging process with possibly unsuccessful results. For this reason, it is best to rely on a qualified and experienced translation company to ensure your patent meets the requirements for filing with the Patent and Trademark Office.
Patent Translation Helps Globalize Your Product or Business
Patent translation is important in the modern global landscape where businesses strive for worldwide success. By translating your patent into another language, information about your invention can be retrieved by an international audience.
The demand for patent translation is increasing all the time.
According to the World Intellectual Property Organization (WIPO), companies spend around $1 billion each year on patent translation.
Strong Translations Matter
High quality patent translation can have a positive impact on the value of your patents, while poor translation can actually lessen their value.
But what exactly qualifies as a good patent translation?
- A perfect blend of technical content with expertise about the language issues at hand
- Consistent terminology
- Faithfulness to the source text
- Compliance with specific style
The consequences of poor patent translation include:
- Production delays
- Inability to enforce international patents
- Further expense for correcting incompetent translations
In other words, it pays to work with a professional and experienced patent translator.
