Filing of Patent Application

When a patent application is filed, owners expect to ensure all their rights and all their hopes in a new technology, a new process, a new device, a new method, a new system.

A patent application is usually the result of dedication, research and resources, both financial and personal. Therefore, the protection is an effort to ensure rights in return for all this individual or joint commitment.

The translation of a patent application must be true to the inventor’s ideas, so that it includes all the content of the invention to be protected. The scope of the invention must be set out, defined and thus properly translated when submitting a patent application, since its subject matter is disclosed thereat.

Translation mistakes at filing may lead to the lack or reduced protection of the future Letters Patent and the Intellectual Property thereof.

Translation errors also entail unnecessary Office Actions and unprotected or poorly protected content not precisely described as the inventor planned. Therefore, a quality translation of patents, with experts in the specific field of translation, ensures that the inventor’s ideas are adequately translated into the target language. They maintain all the scope the inventor as initially intended and avoid Office Actions being issued on the patent application, granting a robust patent, true to its priority and with all the desired content. A well-translated patent application means a well-protected invention.
