High-End Patent Translations – With Expertise and Precision
Technically sound. Legally secure. DIN EN ISO 17100 certified.
Patent translation is one of the most demanding disciplines in the field of specialized translation. It requires not only linguistic accuracy but also a deep understanding of complex technical concepts, legal frameworks, and the requirements of various target markets. As a translation company certified to DIN EN ISO 17100, Bohemian Dragomans® delivers tailored solutions for your patent translations – technically robust, standards-compliant, and globally applicable.
What makes patent translations so challenging – and so essential?
A patent is far more than a technical document – it represents a legally protected claim to an invention. To ensure that this protection extends across borders, patent texts must be translated precisely and consistently into other languages. Any ambiguity or mistranslation can severely limit the scope of protection or even lead to legal disputes and loss of rights.
Patent translation sits at the intersection of law, technology, and language. It requires mastery of subject-specific terminology, familiarity with the style and requirements of patent offices (e.g. EPO, USPTO, JPO), and compliance with formal conventions for international filings (such as PCT applications). Precision here isn’t just preferred – it’s absolutely essential.
Our strength: Expert-led. Experience-driven. Highly specialized.
At Bohemian Dragomans®, patent translations are handled exclusively by experienced subject-matter translators – professionals with academic backgrounds in engineering, the natural sciences, or law, or with many years of specialization in intellectual property. Each is supported by a dedicated team of reviewers, editors, and domain experts to ensure that every translation is terminologically accurate and stylistically consistent.
Our proven dedicated translator model means that each language pair is handled by a fixed translator-reviewer duo – providing maximum continuity, even across series of filings or follow-up patents.
Structured quality: High-end translations certified to DIN EN ISO 17100
As a company certified under DIN EN ISO 17100, we meet all the requirements for professional translation services – from the qualification of our team members to documented workflows and systematic quality assurance processes aligned with ISO 9001. Every patent translation undergoes our rigorous four-eyes principle, with the option of a six-eyes review for particularly sensitive or extensive projects.
We use the latest technologies, including translation memory systems and terminology databases, to maintain consistency and ensure that your legal language is preserved and standardized over time – a crucial factor for the legal validity of your documents.
