Your protection, preserved

Patent translation that holds the scope you filed for

A patent is only as strong as the words that define it. Protecting intellectual property across borders means translating highly technical and legal documents, and a single mistranslated claim can narrow your protection or hand a competitor an opening. USPTO, EPO, WIPO, and other patent offices need translations of supporting records, prior art, claims, and applications before processing a filing.

The wording carries real weight here. One patent translation mistake can delay a filing, trigger rejection, or cost rights that cannot be recovered. Most patent offices accept professional translation, while litigation, oppositions, and some jurisdictions call for certification, so matching the deliverable to the destination keeps the process moving.

ABC produces word-for-word certified patent translations for patent-office compliance, while professional translation preserves technical meaning and clarity. Certified work carries a signed statement, and both certified and standard patent projects use subject-matter translators in 120+ languages. If you want the broader sector overview rather than this specific deliverable, see our legal translation services.

A patent claim lands in the right office only when the wording travels exactly, and more than 255,000 customers over 25 years have trusted ABC Translations to carry that precision from the source filing to every jurisdiction their IP needs to reach.

Clear pricing up front

Professional at an average of $0.09 per word, certified when a filing requires it

Most patent applications, claims, and prior art use professional translation at an average of $0.09 per word; litigation, oppositions, and certification-mandated jurisdictions use certified translation priced per page. Accurate translation protects your claims and helps prevent costly errors or lost rights.

Standard turnaround is 48 hours, and every order includes unlimited revisions, so technical wording can be refined until it is exact. Whichever path your filing needs, the work is done by translators who understand the subject, not by machines.

Send your filing and we will return translations built to protect what you have invented.
