If a certification of your patent application translation is required, KERN can provide this service using a sworn translator or via a Translator's Certificate at any time.

Our certified court interpreters interpret into two or more official languages, for example, in:

• Proceedings in the German federal courts
• Meetings in advance of court hearings and during witness accounts
• Police interviews
• Interrogations, hearings, judicial and extra-judicial mediation

KERN language teams, made up of qualified translators and interpreters, are specialised in the appraisal and inspection of documents on-site and will work with you on every page to ensure that the relevant documents are prepared for a mandate. We will assist you in the compilation of a mandate-specific glossary of technical terms, so that consistent terminology is always used in your mandating documentation and affidavits.

The confidential handling of your documents is a matter of course for KERN.
