Patent and intellectual property translation, English and Italian, in both directions.
A claim is a legal boundary, not a sentence.
In a patent, a single term decides how far protection extends. We translate claims and descriptions the way an examiner will read them: against the family, against the prior art, and against the wording already on file.

Disputes
Oppositions
Appeals
Prior art for litigation
Expert statements
Evidence and exhibits
How we handle terminology
Fixed before translation, not during.
Most inconsistency in patent translation comes from deciding terms as the text goes. A term chosen in paragraph twelve and reconsidered in paragraph forty leaves two readings of the same feature in the same document. We take the terminology out of the running text and settle it first.
01
Extract
Claim terms are pulled out and listed before the first sentence is translated.
02
Check against the family
Earlier filings and your memory decide the wording where a precedent exists.
03
Confirm with you
Anything genuinely open comes back as a question before it becomes a decision.
04
Hold it
The termbase goes back to you updated, so the next job in the family starts where this one ended.
What the review covers
Claims are read against the source.
Scope errors are the expensive kind and the hardest to spot in a finished text. They are what the review looks for first.
| Scope | Every claim checked against the source |
| Antecedents | Reference numerals and features traced |
| Consistency | Claims against description, start to end |
| Numbers | Values, units and ranges verified |
| Tags | Formatting and markup intact |
| Source errors | Reported in a Source Examination Report, not silently translated |

Tell us the direction, the stage and the deadline. If you have reference material from the same family, send that too: it is what makes the difference between a correct translation and a consistent one.
