Patent translation

Every word counts

The translation of patents is one of the most challenging tasks that a translator must perform. This has several reasons:

• The source text, normally written by a patent lawyer, generally describes the intellectual property rights of the protected item very carefully and in great detail. This lucidity of content must be transferred to the target language. Without fuss or quibble.
• The demands to be protected are broadly defined to the fullest possible extent in order to close any possible gaps by which the patent could be made null and void. The translated text must also achieve that – exactly, unequivocally and in line with the original text.
• Patent specifications are normally highly specialised – legally as well as technically. Every word, the syntax and possibly even a single comma is important. For in a dispute, the patent specification must be watertight. Even in the translated version.
