Japanese patent translation
Japanese patent documents translated into English, complete and literal where the claims demand it.
Patent documents
- Patent specifications and claims
- Published applications and granted patents, for prior-art review
- Technical papers and reports cited in applications
- Correspondence about patent matters
For review, research and drafting
Our translations are used to understand what a Japanese patent covers, to review prior art, and as a working draft for your patent attorney.
For a translation that will be filed with a patent office, your attorney should review the final text. We work with their comments.
Why patent translation is its own discipline
Nothing added, nothing dropped
A claim defines legal scope. We translate every element of it and do not smooth, shorten or clarify beyond what the Japanese says.
The same word every time
Each element keeps one English term throughout. Where the Japanese uses 前記, the English refers back with “the” or “said”, consistently.
Set phrases have set equivalents
Forms such as 〜を特徴とする (“characterized in that”) and 請求項 (“claim”) are rendered in the wording patent readers expect.
