Patent attorneys

Our patent attorneys come from various backgrounds (academia, patent office or business) and technical disciplines. They span two generations, which means access to tradition and the latest trends. Thanks to our booming litigation practice they understand the importance of the wording used in patent claims and specification. In the translation process the verification of specification is two-fold: initial review by a technical specialist or a patent attorney trainee with knowledge in the relevant field and a subsequent verification by the patent attorney who signs the validation order. In case when unusual terminology is involved (in particular terminology used in claims) we often conduct additional consultations among the whole team or with our outside technical experts.

Translators

LDS translation coordinator checks each time whether it is possible to use a translation of an already validated patent from the same patent family, which makes it possible to keep the published texts uniform and to reduce the translation costs. If this is not possible, LDS translation coordinator chooses from the database the best suitable translator, experienced in the particular field of expertise. Translators take a highly practical approach. They are primarily researchers and scientists, but also business-oriented people who bring all their energies to bear on providing thorough and accurate translations. The list of LDS translators includes: Professor of Genetics, Doctor of Medical Science, PhD’s of Biochemistry and Biotechnology or translators with Master degrees from these fields, PhD’s specialized in Mechanical Engineering and Electronics. Our successes to date foster their entrepreneurial spirit and provide motivation for further work.

Business administration professionals

Process management and technology enable us to keep each stage of the validation process under control. We maintain cost discipline and deploy our resources to deal with any number of instructions, often acting under time pressure to mitigate any business risks. Our fee schedules are adapted to meet tight budgets, regardless of whether they are based on word counts or annual turnover.
