Strengthening IP Platforms Through a Trusted Translation Partnership
A global provider of IP management software supporting corporate and law-firm users throughout the patent lifecycle.
To strengthen its foreign filing offering, the company needed a reliable linguistic partner capable of handling sensitive patent translations at scale.
-
Objective
Extend the client’s IP platform with an integrated patent translation partner, enabling users to manage multilingual foreign filings more consistently and efficiently within a secure environment.
-
Challenge
Translation management lacked a unified approach across jurisdictions, limiting process predictability.
Existing translations were not always reused effectively, resulting in duplicated effort, higher volumes and less predictable costs.
Platform users also needed a trusted translation solution that met the quality and security requirements of the wider IP workflow, while disconnected translation processes created friction for users managing filings from end to end. -
Implementation
Seprotec configured translation workflows around individual user preferences and filing routes and established a direct API integration with the client’s IP management system to automate the processing of international filing translations.
Translation memories and tailored glossaries were maintained for each client to improve consistency and reduce repeated translation effort.
A dedicated team of patent linguists and project managers handled requests under ISO-certified quality and security standards. -
Result
The solution created centralized translation workflows aligned with individual filing routes and connected IP management and translation processes for a smoother user experience.
Greater reuse of existing linguistic assets reduced duplicated effort and supported more predictable translation costs.
Dedicated IP specialists and ISO-certified processes also provided reliable turnaround times and consistent quality standards across jurisdictions.
