Expert Translations of Japanese Documents

Certified Translations for IPR Proceedings and Court Submissions

Clear, authoritative translations can be the deciding factor in litigation and IPR proceedings. Our translations, certified by expert technical linguists, are definitive evidentiary documents, routinely recognized by the USPTO and federal district courts.

Evaluation and consulting for existing translations

Before considering a translation provided by another party, or by an examiner, it is essential to establish whether the translation is, in fact, accurate. The same holds true when you, or your experts, rely on an existing public domain translation, or a translation that has been provided by your client. Patent Translations Inc. has decades of experience in this area and can provide review, correction, certification, reports, and expert witness services, as necessary.

Translations for information, prior art research and IDS submissions

Translations by experts who understand both science and patent practice help attorneys to work with greater confidence. We can also help minimize prosecution costs by way of document review, triage and partial translations.

Translations for PCT Filing

Clear, technically accurate translations are easier to prosecute, provide better protection and increase your client’s confidence in you. We specialize in the translation of Japanese PCT applications for US filing. Our three-level review system also identifies any problems in the original text, so that attorneys can easily correct these in preliminary amendments.
