Cygnapia ยท Patent Translation

Patent Translators Who See Beyond the Translation.

Every translator at Cygnapia has hands-on experience inside a patent firm. Beyond filing, they have worked through office actions, oppositions, invalidation trials, and litigation โ€” including correspondence with attorneys at home and abroad. That experience informs the quality of our translations.

Three pillars of our practice

Translation quality rooted in patent practice

Every translator on our team has several years of hands-on experience at a patent firm. Beyond drafting applications, they have worked with office actions, oppositions, invalidation trials, and litigation. Understanding what can go wrong downstream of a translation, they bring that knowledge to the quality of their work.

Ongoing collaboration with practicing patent attorneys

Cygnapia maintains an ongoing working relationship with practicing patent attorneys and firms. When legal or practical questions bear on a translation, we draw on attorney insight as needed. The knowledge gained through patent practice informs our translation work every day.
