INTERNATIONALIZATION
We are experienced with patent translations, not only English and the Roman languages, but also Japanese and Chinese. Frequent difficulties are avoided as early as the drafting stage.
The result: a fast process, excellent patent protection and, in the long run, high satisfaction of the inventors.
We have a cost-effective offer for you - our organisation is lean and agile.
