Patent Prosecution

Morningside Translations is one of the only patent translation firms that provides turnkey patent prosecution services.

When corporations have new intellectual property to market globally, they are required to translate their patent applications into the languages of the regions in which the new patent is to be filed. Historically, only patent law firms could provide this service – until recently.

The Morningside Patent Prosecution process begins with a certified translation of the patent application, which is then proofread for accuracy of the technical terminology and formatted for the target patent office. These quality assurance steps are completed by professionals who are native to the target language and experts in the related technology, and patent attorneys local to the target patent office who understand the entire patent prosecution process. Our clients depend on us to file their patents around the world.

Morningside Translations entered the Patent Prosecution arena fully equipped to handle the legal and translation complexities inherent in launching new patents in foreign markets. We are one of the only companies in the world that can.

Quality Assurance

Morningside applies a redundant quality assurance system that supports each step of your patent prosecution to the highest level of execution. Once the initial translation of the application has been edited, our team of linguists and patent professionals institute a series of reviews to ensure that the technical terminology is accurate, the integrity of the original patent has been retained, and that the formatting complies with the requirements of the local patent offices. We then process the filing within the stated timeline.

Several years ago, quality assurance, under the guiding hand of Six Sigma, hit the pharmaceutical industry with a stunning blow of regulations. In response to the need for precise translations, legal accuracy, and technical dexterity, Morningside now processes the simultaneous translation of numerous patents into multiple languages that are delivered on time to local patent offices worldwide.

Save Millions

Morningside consolidates the patent prosecution process by housing a network of patent attorneys, linguists native to the target language, and translators experienced in the science and technology related to the patent. Corporations and attorneys come to us because they know that they can save millions of dollars by reducing additional foreign attorney fees and significantly cutting down on their translation services costs.
