High-End Patent Translations – Expertise Meets Precision
Patent translations rank among the most complex disciplines in the field of specialized translation. They demand more than just linguistic accuracy – they require a deep understanding of advanced technical subject matter, legal frameworks, and the requirements of international target markets. As a DIN EN ISO 17100 certified language service provider, Bohemian Dragomans® offers tailored patent translation solutions that are technically precise, fully compliant, and globally applicable.
What Are Patent Translations – and Why Are They So Demanding?
A patent isn’t just a technical document – it’s a legally binding claim to an invention. To ensure international protection, patent documents must be translated with absolute precision and consistency. A vague or inaccurate translation can significantly limit the enforceability of a patent or, in the worst case, lead to disputes or the loss of rights.
Patent translation operates at the intersection of law, technology, and language. It requires deep knowledge of domain-specific terminology, familiarity with the linguistic conventions of international patent offices (e.g., EPO, USPTO, JPO), and full compliance with the formal requirements of global filing procedures like the PCT. Here, precision isn’t a virtue – it’s a legal necessity.
Our Strength: Technically Skilled. Legally Informed. Highly Specialized.
At Bohemian Dragomans®, our patent translations are handled exclusively by experienced specialists – translators with academic backgrounds in engineering, natural sciences, or law, or with extensive professional experience in patent translation. They are supported by a dedicated team of reviewers, editors, and industry-savvy experts to ensure absolute consistency in terminology and style.
We work according to our proven “dedicated translator principle”: for each language pair, we assign a fixed team of specialist translator and reviser. This ensures consistency across all filings – especially important for related patents or ongoing series of applications.
Certified Quality with Structure: High-End Patent Translations to DIN EN ISO 17100
As a company certified to DIN EN ISO 17100, we meet all the requirements of professional translation services – from translator qualifications and documented processes to systematic quality assurance in line with DIN EN ISO 9001. Every patent translation undergoes our rigorous four-eyes review process – and for particularly sensitive or complex documents, we offer a six-eyes process upon request.
We also use the latest technologies, including translation memory systems and custom terminology databases, to ensure consistent use of terminology across all documents – a key factor in maintaining legal accuracy and enforceability.
