USPTO patent applications require certified translations of prior art and foreign priority documents. We provide accurate translations for IP attorneys and patent agents.
Certified Translation for Patents and Trademarks at the USPTO
The USPTO requires certified English translations of foreign-language patent documents submitted as prior art, priority documents, or in response to office actions. International patent applications filed under the PCT (Patent Cooperation Treaty) that claim priority from a foreign application must include a certified translation of the foreign priority document. Official Translations works with patent attorneys and IP firms to provide accurate certified translations of patent claims, specifications, and prior art. Order your patent translation today.
Trademark applications at the USPTO may require certified translations of foreign trademark registrations, assignment agreements, and consent letters. We work under strict confidentiality and NDA arrangements with IP law firms. For corporate filings involving IP assignments, see our corporate filings translation page. For contract translations in IP licensing, see our contracts translation page.
Patent translation requires specialized translators with technical backgrounds in the relevant field (mechanical, electrical, chemical, biotech). Our IP translators are subject-matter experts. We also handle WIPO and EPO filing requirements. Get a free quote with your technology area and language pair.
