PatentTranslators.com (formerly JATCO PATENT TRANSLATORS) are dedicated professional translators who have been providing technical and legal translations to patent law firms in United States, Japan and Europe since 1987.

Our Experience
All of our translators have been in business for many years, some for more than 20 years, as full time technical translators specializing in their particular languages and subject combinations.
When you work with PatentTranslators.com, no additional third party is involved. As a result, not only are your costs lower, but there is less risk of misunderstanding since you do not need to communicate to a translator through a broker. We specialize in just a handful of languages - in particular in Japanese, German and French, as the demand for translation of technical and legal information into English is particularly strong in these languages. However, we also translate patents, articles from scientific and medical journals and other technical materials from a number of other languages, including French, Dutch, Russian, Korean, Chinese, etc.

Our Network
PatentTranslators.com are professional translators who often collaborate on large projects. Even the best translator with many years of experience may sometimes need to call upon a colleague for advice or additional proofreading. In addition to faxing and/or mailing a laser printout, we also e-mail the translation to our clients as soon as it is finished and carefully proofread.

Our Patent Translation Services for Law Firms
Because the translation of Japanese and German patents into English represents the bulk of our work, serving the needs of law firms specializing in intellectual property issues is our specialty. Many law firms find it easier to do business with us because of our experience in this field. When you talk directly to a translator, you can expect a quick and accurate answer to your questions. Since we can quickly download a legible copy of a published patent in Japanese, German, or French from the JPO, EPO or WIPO website or from the website of the German Patent Office, etc., we can start working on your rush translation as soon as we know its correct patent number. Our experience includes the translation of patents, research reports, opposition briefs, clinical trials and clinical protocols and other materials in Japanese, German and French. Because we know our languages, we will not disappoint you when you rely on us to coordinate an important project with a tight deadline necessitating several translators. We can also provide machine translations of Japanese Unexamined (Kokai) Patents published after 1993 in PDF format for a standard low fee for your office (or walk you through the procedure to be followed to use this automated service of the Japanese Patent Office), or summarize Japanese, German and French patents, research reports and other documents (which usually includes a translation of the claims and the text accompanying the figures) to help you decide which documents, if any, need a full translation. 

Our Fees
We are able to offer very competitive rates because there is no commission to pay to a generic translation agency that translates "all languages and all subjects" through subcontractors. Our cost and turnaround estimates are accurate and binding. Since the establishment of our service in 1987, we have never missed a deadline. Pricing for our services is usually quoted by the word, but sometime at an hourly rate, depending on the nature of the assignment. Should it be your preference, we can also provide a firm price quote for your project.

Our Patent Translation Expertise and Clients
Our main selling point, in our opinion, is the fact that we specialize. We have been providing translation services to big and small patent law firms as well as patent law departments of large corporations since 1987. We do not claim that we have written the book on translation of Japanese patents. But we did the next best thing - in addition to having translated thousands of patents from Japanese, German, French and other languages, we also translated a substantial part of the Japan Patent Office website, in particular the sections entitled Overview of Industrial Property Rights, History of the System of Industrial Property Rights, Chronology, Great Japanese Inventors, etc. A quick glance at our clients list should convince you that quality conscious patent law firms rely on PatentTranslators.com for best price for their clients for technical translation from Japanese and European languages. We hope to add your company to our list of satisfied clients. If you are tired of receiving substandard translations from firms that claim to be able to translate every subject from and into any language, why not try the translators who specialize in your field next time? We look forward to working with you.
