Patent translation services in Singapore for every field
Globalisation is bringing audiences all over the world within reach of any business. So when your latest innovation – or your client’s – is all set to make millions, you need to ensure the rights to it are protected – and that they’re protected everywhere
Accurate patent translation and then international filing – in all the correct countries and jurisdictions – is the way to do this. It’s how to safeguard your Intellectual Property rights, as well as your future financial success and that of your business…
Why is technical patent translation important?
An imprecise or incorrect translation of your patent can leave you open to exploitation by other individuals and companies.
In a 2014 survey, the Steinbeis Transfer Institute discovered that out of the holders of international patent portfolios:
- Nearly 80% had come across translations that were incorrect or open to interpretation
- More than a quarter had struggled to secure a patent application because of translation errors
- Over 50% rated mistakes made in translating international patents a “latent risk” or above
All of this makes accurate professional patent translation a critical part of bringing any new invention, process, product or service to market. Most often, this will mean the precise conversion of technical vocabulary and syntax into another language.
In turn, this makes it absolutely critical that you choose a linguist with both an in-depth knowledge of your industry and the specialist terminology involved in patent law.

How do I protect my Intellectual Property rights?
Because of the internationalised nature of today’s consumer market, and the vast expansion of ready access to data, it’s all too easy for competitors operating in other jurisdictions to come across your ideas and use them without consequences.
Protecting your IP is “rules of invention” 101. The correct translation of your patent into other languages is a key part of doing this. Unlike marketing collateral, however, where you want to create an emotional impact in a reader, this kind of project is entirely technical. There needs to be:
- No room for misunderstanding
- Complete clarity in terms of what is being defined
- Guaranteed validity in the specific country and jurisdiction being targeted
You might need to specify the chemical compounds which go into making a formula. List ingredients or elements which have a different name when referred to locally. Or make sure that the meaning attached to a word has the same particular usage that it has within your industry.
These are the reasons why our patent translators have a whole range of highly developed competencies in the technology and science behind the language, as well as international law.

Because of the precise technical nature of this sort of project, Quality Assurance is a critical part of the process.
All of our translated texts are, of course, checked by a highly skilled editor for accuracy and terminology, and polished for fluency. But when there’s no room for error, translations are also proofread, back-translated and reconciled to check that what the target document says is what the source document intended.
