Expert Patent Translation in Over 100 Languages

viaLegal™ understands accuracy and subject matter expertise are paramount to patent translation. Our
patent and intellectual property translation service scales to the level of quality you need. Whether it’s patent translation for filing, information only and/or research and gisting, the viaLegal service™ matches the right level of expertise to your budget and need.

Patent Translation by Subject Matter
We employ only patent translators and editors who hold technical degrees such as M.S.E.E., PhD., or
M.D. in engineering, science, medicine or computer science. All patent translators translate only into
their native language, and have extensive backgrounds not just in technical translation, but in the field
of patent translation as well.

Patent Translation by Service Level

  • Patent filing translation: This level includes translation and proofreading by a translator with
    a technical background in the field of patents as well as an understanding of the differences in
    regulation, practice and statutes between USPTO, EPO and JPO. In addition, a licensed attorney
    review may be added to ensure accuracy and compliance.

  • Information only and/or selection translation: This level of pricing reflects a literal translation
    only that closely follows the original patent’s content, sequence and style. This service is not fit for
    filing.

  • Gist and/or research translation: This level includes a scan only of documents to provide you
    with answers to your questions, or the translation of paragraphs or claims that are most pertinent
    to your query such as abstracts, table of contents, lead paragraphs, headings, claims, etc. Our
    patent translators with technical background in the scientific field of patents can often provide
    answers within a day or two at a fraction of the cost of a full translation.

  • Machine Translation: Consider machine translation solutions for a low-cost, high-speed gisting
    of content for research, litigation and more. Learn More
