Patent Translation Services

With a single instruction, you can initiate an international patent filing with us, reducing your administrative load. Simply send us an email or log a request on the Questel Services Portal and we will handle the rest, leaving you free to focus your time on more strategic tasks.

 From machine (AI) translation to premium filing-ready support, we offer service levels to match every need and budget. All service levels benefit from client-specific terminology, patent-trained AI, and ISO 27001 certified information security management.  

We do not rest until we verify and communicate with you that your international patent filing is complete. You can call on us whenever you need us, including during the examination process when you can rely on our timely and cost-effective translations of office actions.
 

Our services cover PCT/direct filings, European patent (EP) claims at 71(3), EP validations, and unitary patent translations. 

Our IP translators are vetted for both linguistic and subject matter expertise. They hold degrees in applicable sciences (most have Masters or PhDs) and they have at least five years’ experience in patent translation or drafting. The technical disciplines we cover include IT & AI, Mechanics, Life Sciences, Chemistry, and Electronics & Telecoms.  

We are also expert in translating opposition proceedings, prior art, office actions and more.  

The quality of your prior art patent translation can impact how you interpret a patent and the decisions you make for patent protection. Don’t take the risk of choosing any patent translator. Bring in an expert translator with in-depth knowledge of the patent filing process and your industry sector.

There’s no need to pay a premium to translate documents you don’t intend to publish. Our Reference Quality patent translation service provides access to our network of highly qualified, expert linguists at a discounted cost.

As your patent translation service partner, not only do we support your individual translation needs, but we also build client-specific translation memories to improve the consistency of your patent translations over time, while also reducing overhead by creating process efficiencies.

We understand the critical need for security and confidentiality when providing legal document and patent translation services. We are fully aware that protecting privileged documents and proprietary information often necessitates legally binding non-disclosure agreements, as well as secure facilities, servers, and networks. That’s why Questel has invested significantly in certifying our Information Security Management System (ISMS), platforms, and controls to ISO 27001, the benchmark for data security. We are also certified in ISO 9001 (Quality Management), ISO 17100 (Translation Services Management), ISO 13485 (Medical Devices), and ISO 18587 (Translation Post Editing).

Our subject matter experts perform and oversee translations, followed by multiple rounds of editing and proofing.
