TECHNICAL AND LEGAL EXACTNESS
Patent Translation Services
Patent translation sits where technical precision meets legal exactness—and both must be right. A translation error can narrow your protection, invalidate a claim, or hand an opponent an argument. Locstars delivers patent translation services through linguists who command both the technology and the legal language of intellectual property.
Patent Documents We Translate
Claims Are a Discipline of Their Own
Claim language is deliberately rigid: one term, one meaning, everywhere it appears. We keep claim terminology absolutely consistent across the specification, claims, and drawings text, and mirror the sentence structure conventions the receiving patent office expects—because “close enough” is how scope gets lost.
Built for Filing and for Litigation
Filing translations follow the format and terminology conventions of the destination office. Litigation translations add defensibility: renderings a hostile expert can’t usefully attack, with certified options where courts require them.
Why IP Teams Choose Locstars
✔ Dual-competence linguists — the technology and the legal register together
✔ Field coverage — engineering, pharmaceutical, chemical, electronics, software
✔ Deadline-safe — filing dates are absolute; we plan and deliver around them
Frequently Asked Questions
Do you translate for patent filing?
Yes—applications, specifications, and claims prepared to the standards and conventions of the destination patent office.
Can you handle litigation documents?
Yes, including office actions, oppositions, and prior art, with certified translation available where proceedings require it.
Which technical fields do you cover?
Engineering, pharmaceuticals, chemistry, electronics, telecommunications, and software—each matched to a linguist with the relevant background.
How do you keep claim terminology consistent?
A term base is built for each patent family and enforced across every document in it, so the same term never drifts between filings.
Is unpublished IP kept confidential?
Absolutely—restricted access, secure handling, and NDAs as standard for pre-filing material.
