Proven track record in patent translation

We have extensive experience in translation of PCT and EP patents into most European and Asian languages. We also translate from most languages into English. Our patent translators are court-certified and can be made available for depositions if required in litigation.

Our patent translation is done by native language translators with experience in patent translation and with appropriate knowledge of applicable laws, accepted practices and/or regulatory directives for the designated country. A good patent translator needs to have in-depth knowledge of the subject matter that the patent relates to. All of our patent translators are certified, have extensive experience in patent translation and are thoroughly screened before being accepted to work with us.

All translations undergo a thorough quality check by a qualified proofreader to ensure accuracy and language correctness. If required, claims and other critical texts can be reviewed by a local Patent Attorney to ensure legal accuracy. We have access to local patent agents in all EU member companies and in the major Asian countries and we can help you with filing in the local patent office.

Translated patents are formatted in the correct patent format; we conform to the guidelines of the local patent office, ensuring that patent applications are received with no problems or rejections. Patent drawings are translated and can be lettered again if required.

We also provide expert translation of patents into English for your prior art search, as well as translation of court documents in patent litigation cases.

Case Study: High-Precision Patent Claim Translation for a Global IP Law Firm

A global intellectual property law firm specializing in pharmaceutical and medical-device patents regularly relies on GTS Translation Services for the high-accuracy translation of European Patent (EP) claims—particularly French and German EP claim translation, which they require 5–6 times per year.

For this client, precision is critical. Patent claims must conform to strict EPO linguistic and structural standards, and even minor deviations can introduce legal ambiguity or slow down the examination process.

Our Solution

GTS assigns all patent translation projects to hand-picked, time-tested patent SMEs with deep experience in EP claim drafting style, mechanical/medical terminology, and multilingual claim dependency structures. Each assignment is overseen by a senior project manager who ensures perfect alignment between the source claims and the target-language versions.

Results

• Consistent terminology across all claim sets and all languages
• Accurate, prosecution-ready French and German EP claim translations
• Full compliance with EPO stylistic and structural conventions
• Fast turnaround without compromising accuracy
• Reliable repeat performance, resulting in long-term client retention

Why This Matters

General online translation platforms rely on random freelancers and cannot guarantee the specialization, consistency, or legal rigor required for patent filings. GTS provides the specialized SME-level accuracy necessary to support IP prosecution, litigation, and global portfolio expansion.
