Protecting Intellectual Property with Patent Translation Services
Congratulations! You’ve navigated the application and approval process of a utility, design, or plant patent through the United States Patent and Trademark Office (USPTO). We know how hard it was to get this patent. Wouldn’t it be horrible if it was all for nothing? As difficult as it was to achieve your patent, a US patent is fairly meaningless in other countries where you may conduct business. If you’re competing and doing business in other countries, patent translation services are critical for protecting your valuable intellectual capital in each and every country where you conduct business. Not protecting your patent in other countries could result not just in a loss of income, but in the loss of your patent rights in that country.
In the past, the only way to secure foreign patent protection was to have legal representation in every country where intellectual property protection was needed. This was a difficult, costly process with many opportunities for error. More recently, the Internet has created a way for patent translation services to be streamlined with easy access to the subject matter expertise required for international patents.

Keep in mind though that the fact that patent translations can be done online does not eliminate the need for a skilled patent translator, such as Alpha Omega Translations.
