Dutch Patent Translation

In order to validate a European Patent in the Netherlands, a translation into Dutch must be furnished to the Netherlands Industrial Property Office (NIPO) within 3 months of the date the patent was granted. AbroadLink provides Dutch patent translations with accuracy, speed and confidentiality.

As a result of specialising in patent translations of the highest quality for clients in the Netherlands, the rest of Europe and the U.S. (patent attorneys, corporate patent departments, Research & Development scientists, inventors...) we have become fluent in patent-specific technical language. We have come to know in detail how the formatting and content of a patent should appear. For more information on content and format requirements for the Netherlands click here.

Our policies on cost and quality control are a testament to our commitment to our clients. Clients receive a detailed quotation for our patent translation services with no strings attached. We stand by the bottom line of our quotations. There are no unexpected extra charges for typing, layout, graphics, certification, extra copies, forwarding official printed patents, or delivering to your representatives etc.

On receipt of your documentation, we perform an analysis to establish that only the documents required by the patent office are translated minimising unnecessary costs. We offer a range of service packages to adapt to your project needs. As a result you will pay less for any parts of the project you would like translated for purposes other than filing.

Once the Dutch translation has been submitted and validated the patent is no different from a fully examined NL patent. In March 2005 the NIPO changed its name in Dutch to Octrooicentrum Nederland. Approximately 2,500 patent applications are filed in the Netherlands annually. Under Dutch Patent law (ROW 1995), unlike many other EU countries it is possible to obtain a patent right for a short term (6 years) by not requesting a novelty search. Such patents are granted in a matter of months but the applicant can not start an infringement case before the court.

Whatever the purpose of your patent translation, AbroadLink can meet your requirements and deadline. Please contact us for more information on our Dutch Patent translation services.
