Intellectual property (IP) describes intangible creations and ideas like inventions, designs, literary/artistic work, names, symbols, and images. While different countries have various kinds of IPs, the overall purpose is to encourage and incentivize economic growth by creating job opportunities and advancing technology through creative thinking. IPs are similar to other property rights, which ensures the creator of the IP legally profits from their efforts and works to stimulate the economy. These inventions are especially crucial in the life sciences, as they help advance global health and save patients’ lives. Accurate and effective IP translations are critical to ensure intellectual property rights (IPRs) are protected internationally.
CSOFT provides highly accurate IP translation services for life science companies across 250 languages. Our advanced language technology, combined with our extensive network of over 10,000 in-country professional linguists and subject matter experts, gives us the experience and resources to easily translate IP documents, including patents, trademarks, and copyrights.
Patent Translations
In today’s global economy, securing international patents in multiple jurisdictions is an essential business requirement for life science companies, both for R&D and for product distribution purposes. As such, these patents must be accurately translated to achieve the same high level of protection for a company’s intellectual property in international and domestic markets. Failure to do so can lead to significant financial loss that may take years to recover. With extensive industry expertise, CSOFT delivers high-quality translation and localization of life science patents worldwide.

Technical Translations for IPs
Accurate and certified technical translation is necessary to ensure the best legal protection for IPs globally, as any minor translation errors could result in legal liability. Whatever market the creator of the IP is seeking legal protection in, the technical documentation must be accurately translated into the market’s official language. This requires subject matter experts who understand the process for submitting IPs in the target market and an in-depth understanding of the life science technicalities that otherwise could be lost in translation. CSOFT’s linguists have the expertise and experience to translate IP technical documents accurately the first time, saving life science companies and professionals time and money.

Advanced Language Technology
An important skill to look for in any technical translator handling IPs is the ability to work with CAT (Computer-Aided Translation or Computer-Assisted Translation) tools for improved translation efficiency and consistency. Our use of the latest translation and content management technologies extends to every stage of the localization process, particularly emphasizing translation memory and terminology management.
