English Patent Translation
Once the EPO has decided to grant a patent, a translation must be furnished to the patent Office within 3 months. AbroadLink performs English patent translation services for filing in the UK and Ireland with quality, speed and confidentiality. We provide translated patents ready for filing according to national requirements. The right formula
By combining the right blend of customer service, quality assurance procedures, technical specialised translators, the most up to date technology and a customised translation process we deliver patent translations of the highest standards.
At AbroadLink, we understand the importance of working with the best available in the industry. Because patent translation requires inside knowledge and expertise we only work with translators who have been academically trained in the area of their specialisation. Our project managers carefully select the right linguist with the most relevant experience and education for the job from a pool of translators that includes engineers, chemists, pharmacists, physicists, MD's etc.

Client-orientated prices
Translation costs can account for up to 1/3 of the overall
cost of filing a patent. We work with our clients to minimise all
unnecessary costs and provide the best value service possible. On
receipt of your documentation, we perform an analysis to establish
that only the documents required by the patent office are translated.
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. Clients receive
a detailed quotation for our patent translation services with no
strings attached. There are no unexpected extra charges for typing,
layout, graphics, certification, extra copies, forwarding official
printed patents, delivering to your representatives etc.
Whether you want a translation for filing, litigation,
or information purposes we can meet your patent translation needs
for the UK and Ireland. Please contact us for more information on
our services or for a free quote.
General information on patents in the UK and Ireland
In 2002 a total of 29,911 patent applications were made
in the UK, 13,562 were published and 8,690 were granted. The majority
of applications came from the US, Japan, Taiwan and Germany. The
greatest numbers were for the telecommunications sector as well
as civil engineering/building, machine elements, measuring/testing,
transporting, conveying and calculating.
Figures were similar in 2004 with 28,223 patents applications being made and a staggering 10,541 being granted. Some of the main companies filing patent applications in the UK are NEC, Motorola, Samsung, Bosch, IBM, Hewlett Packard, Visteon Global Technologies and Schlumber.
It is strongly advisable to search the databases
for existing patents before investing in Research and Development.
According to the Patent Office, “Companies in Europe could be wasting
20 billion euros every year repeating R & D work”. Peter Slater,
assistant director of the Search and Advisory Service at the UK
Patent Office says, “There are 40 million patents published around
the world, which can be accessed via the Patent Office database.”
One popular and unique offer from the Irish Patent
Office is a short term 10 year patent. Of the 845 national applications
filed in Ireland in 2004, 52% of applications opted for the shorter
term. This trend is visible in past years also. A total of 26,445
applicants of EP patents designated Ireland. The main categories
of national applications include human necessities, chemistry/metallurgy
and performing operations.
