When the USPTO requires a translation
Under 37 CFR 1.52(d), a nonprovisional application filed in a language other than English requires an English translation of the application, a statement that the translation is accurate, and a processing fee. A later application claiming priority to a non-English provisional runs into the same requirement at that point.
Translations also come up for foreign priority documents, for non-English prior art cited in an information disclosure statement, and in litigation and opposition proceedings where what a foreign reference actually says is the entire dispute.
The claims are not prose
A patent specification can absorb a loose sentence. The claims cannot: they are the legal scope of the monopoly, and a word moved or a term rendered two ways changes what is protected. Claims are translated literally, with their structure and dependencies preserved, and every technical term is held identical between the claims, the specification and the abstract.
Figure labels, reference numerals and the sequence of drawings are translated in place so that the numbers in the text still point at the parts they name.
Translation, not prosecution
We produce the translation and a signed certification of its accuracy. What gets filed, in what form, with which statement and by which deadline is your patent attorney's call — we are not a filing service and we do not advise on scope, validity or strategy.
For long specifications, ask whether the recipient actually needs certification: where it does not, standard translation is the same $24.95 per page without a certification you do not need.
How it works
Upload a photo or a scan of your document, pick the language pair and check out online. You never have to mail originals: a legible copy is all we need.
A professional human translator, never machine translation, translates the document word for word and mirrors the layout of the original. Every certified translation ships with a signed Certificate of Translation Accuracy that meets the requirements of USCIS, courts and universities.
Your translation is delivered digitally, usually within 24 hours for documents of one to three pages, and same-day delivery is available. If anything needs adjusting, we revise it.
Certified vs. standard translation
A certified translation is a word-for-word translation accompanied by a signed statement attesting to its accuracy and completeness. It is what official bodies require: USCIS, courts, universities and government agencies. Certified translations are $24.95 per page, where one sheet of your document is one page, with no word cap.
A standard translation is the same professional human translation without the certificate, for when you only need to understand the content or for internal or informal use. It is billed at the same $24.95 per page with no word cap.
Frequently asked questions
Do you provide the statement that the translation is accurate?
We provide a signed Certificate of Translation Accuracy with every certified translation. Your attorney decides what form the statement must take for the particular filing.
How is a fifty-page specification priced?
Both certified and standard translation are $24.95 per page with no word cap, so a long specification is priced by its page count either way.
Do you translate the labels on the drawings?
Yes, in place, so that reference numerals in the text still correspond to what they name in the figures.
