For Patent Firms
More and more, client companies arrive with requests like “cut costs with AI translation” or “take another look at translation fees.” Yet the quality of a filing and the substance of the rights it secures still rest on your firm's judgment and responsibility, exactly as before. With that tension in mind, ip-pro supports your firm by keeping translation quality dependable — so your firm can do its work with confidence.
We post-edit client-provided AI translation
When a client company supplies AI or machine translation output, a translator with patent experience reviews it and carries out the post-editing and the final check. The work goes to translators who not only have hands-on patent translation experience but also grasp the technical content and claim structure — and can judge how a given choice affects claim interpretation.
We put responsibility for the translation process in writing
On projects that involve AI or machine translation, it can be hard to see from the outside how the translation is reviewed and corrected, or how far quality is assured. For each project, ip-pro sets out the following points and shares them clearly.
A walk-through of the translation process and the team behind it, with the opportunity to review it together
Agreement on the scope of post-editing and the depth of work it involves
The scope of ip-pro's quality assurance for the post-edited deliverables
You can use these as they are — to share within your firm, or to explain matters to client companies.
What ip-pro is responsible for
ip-pro is responsible for the quality of the translated deliverables. We check the translation, keep terminology consistent, judge whether the patent phrasing is appropriate, and run a final check before delivery. If any mistranslation or inconsistency surfaces after delivery, we respond appropriately and trace the cause.
Handling of data
- Translation data is kept separate by firm and by project
- It is never reused for other projects or other clients
- We use it only for its intended purpose — never passing it to outside services or repurposing it
We can lay out how data is handled in a form you can use directly when explaining it to others.
Flexible support tailored to your needs
Even when your firm has not yet settled its policy on AI and machine translation, we can propose a workable way forward that suits your situation. We explain what each approach does well and where it applies, and work out the best path together, in line with your wishes.
