Translation for Prior Art Search
Translation for prior art search is an important step when planning to file a patent in overseas. Any prior art search will require an expert with knowledge and experience in many fields:
- Language skills (both in your language and in the language of the foreign patent office)
- Patent knowledge
- Search skills
- A technical background, particularly in whatever field or industry your intellectual property deals in

No matter what your needs, we can cover patent translation, translation of other public domain information (including website content, journal publications, magazine articles, and many others), and provide you with a more precise and thorough search than would otherwise be possible by other means.
When doing a prior art search, typically you must outsource to a specialized database search company to provide their search services. For instance, if you need to search for prior art strictly in English, you would need to have a search performed by the European Patent Office's search bureau located in the Netherlands. These services can often by very expensive. If you are lucky and the company you have outsourced your search to has the extensive experience listed above, and if your search is specific enough that it can be communicated very easily to your searcher, you may be able to get good results for your specific search's parameters.
