Morningside is one of the world’s leading patent translation services, providing translations for national phase filing to Fortune 500 patent departments and IP Today’s top 100 patent firms. We work with global corporations and law firms who are looking for ways to reduce foreign filing costs – while maintaining consistent, reliable quality. By partnering with top patent firms in each target country, Morningside provides our clients with foreign associate-level translations at competitive rates.
Corporations and patent attorneys come to us because they know that they can save hundreds of thousands of dollars annually by reducing foreign filing and translation fees, while also streamlining the translation process. Our competitive price structure has convinced Fortune 500 companies and top patent law firms that would otherwise rely on foreign associates or outside counsel to switch to Morningside.
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.
Morningside’s clients who rely on outside counsel incorporate Morningside’s service into their workflow, and continue to use their outside counsel for all patent prosecution matters. You may choose to instruct us directly, or have your outside counsel instruct us on your behalf. By working directly with your outside counsel, we can avoid any additional work for your in-house patent department. Morningside can help you dramatically lower your foreign filing expenses without making any significant change to your foreign filing processes or procedures.
Morningside’s philosophy of “always available” service means we are available 24 hours a day, 7 days a week to provide urgent estimates or make changes to filing instructions. We understand that in certain situations casework may require immediate attention and an expedited turnaround. We are regularly called upon to translate 100+ page applications into multiple languages in less than a week, and have never missed a filing deadline.
We are always ready to provide a free estimate or cost comparison in less than an hour, even for last-minute filings. All we would need is the patent number and a list of relevant countries.
