If certification of your patent translation is necessary, KERN UK Ltd. offers suitable solutions. We can ensure certification by a sworn translator or issue a so-called Translator’s Certificate, depending on the requirements of your target country and the corresponding patent office. A certified translation of your patent application ensures the official recognition of your document and its deployability in legal contexts. Certification also confirms the authenticity and precision of the translation, which minimises the risk of misunderstanding or legal difficulties. With the expertise and comprehensive services of KERN UK Ltd., your patent documentation will be professionally and reliably certified.

The translation of a patent requires specific requirements that go beyond the usual linguistic competence. An essential prerequisite is a thorough understanding of the legal framework, especially the patent system, within the respective legal system. This body of legal experience must be combined with a high level of technical or scientific expertise in the field of patents in order to accurately translate both the legal and the technical aspects.

In addition, a patent translation requires adherence to specific formal requirements and rules, which may vary from legal system to legal system. A prominent example of this is EU requirement rule 51 of the European Patent Convention (EPC), which provides detailed guidance on the form and content of patent applications. In addition to such rules-based requirements, the stylistic conventions and the specific vocabulary of the respective patent class must also be taken into account in order to ensure the unambiguity and legal validity of the patent in the target language.

Meeting these complex requirements requires not only linguistic expertise, but also an interdisciplinary understanding and the ability to express oneself precisely in the respective fields. Patent translators must therefore be able to both understand and correctly translate complex technical concepts and legal subtleties. KERN UK Ltd. ensures that these requirements are met in every patent translation in order to support the protection and international recognition of your innovations.

KERN UK Ltd.’s patent translators are characterised by an exceptional level of expertise and qualifications. They are not only experienced professionals in their respective technical or scientific fields, but also have a sound legal background that is specifically geared to the requirements and complexities of patent documentation. Many of our translators are themselves engineers or scientists who have studied the world of patents intensively and therefore have a deep understanding of the subject matter.

In addition to their technical expertise, our patent translators are trained in the intricacies of patent terminology and are always up to date with developments in their field of expertise and the corresponding legal framework. This allows them to produce accurate and legally compliant translations that meet the needs of patent offices worldwide. The combination of technical know-how, legal understanding and linguistic precision ensures that your patents are translated correctly to ensure the best possible protection and recognition of your inventions and intellectual property rights.
