Lost in Translation: How Bad Patent Translations Can Kill Your Global Rights Ep. 179

Lost in Translation: How Bad Patent Translations Can Kill Your Global Rights. Patent translation isn't simply about converting words from one language to another, it's about preserving the legal and technical meaning of your patent. I explain how seemingly small translation mistakes can accidentally narrow claims, turn optional features into required ones, create inconsistencies in technical terminology, or cause problems when making amendments later. I also discuss translation deadlines, PCT national-phase filings, and why inventors seeking international protection should use translators who understand both the technology and patent language.
