Global Patent Translation Services for Secure Intellectual Property Protection
Accurate Technical Translations for Patents, Trademarks, and Legal Documentation in All Languages
IP & PATENT
Safeguarding your intellectual property in every jurisdiction.
Patent regulations vary from country to country. But every jurisdiction has one thing in common: the clearer and more precise the language of your patent application, the more likely it is to be granted. That’s where we come in.
At EC Innovations we’ve been working with patent lawyers, IP owners, and international corporations for more than 27 years now. All choose to entrust us with the translation of key patents. Why? Because they know our experience and technical skill produces patent translations faithful to both the detail and intent of the original application.
Patent translations are the responsibility of our trusted, highly experienced native language patent translators. Characterized by exceptional linguistic ability and professionalism, our patent translators deliver the accuracy that makes your patent ready to file in the target country.
Patent Translation Services in All Technical Fields
We’ve been collaborating with industry-leading patent departments for many years now. That means EC Innovations is always up-to-date with the various national patent office rules, delivery life cycles, and other jurisdiction-specific regulations. And we believe in sharing this wisdom. We’ll assist you through the entire process, from the initial application right through to patent translation for litigation and enforcement purposes.

AI + Human Expertise
Our patent translation process combines advanced artificial intelligence with expert human linguists. AI tools handle initial translation and terminology consistency, while our specialized patent translators ensure technical accuracy, contextual understanding, and compliance with legal requirements across all jurisdictions.

Our subject-matter experts then perform comprehensive post-editing to refine terminology, style, and legal precision, ensuring translations meet the highest quality standards for patent filings.
Patent-Specific Translation Memory
Our specialized translation memory systems store and manage approved patent terminology, claims language, and technical phrases. This ensures consistent terminology across all your patent documents and applications, reducing costs and maintaining precision throughout your global IP portfolio.
ECI Link Secure Collaboration Platform
Our proprietary client portal provides secure, real-time access to your patent translation projects. ECI Link enables seamless communication, confidential document exchange, and transparent project tracking while maintaining the highest levels of data security required for sensitive intellectual property.
