A patent application file consists of the description, claims, abstract and drawings. Translation into the language of the destination country is mandatory for international applications.
The claims section is the most sensitive part of the translation because it determines the scope of protection. A different rendering of a single word can narrow or broaden that scope; the claims therefore undergo a separate review step.

Certification requirements
Patent offices generally accept a representative's declaration; notarization is rarely required.
Apostille requests for application documents are uncommon; one may be required for the power of attorney.
There is no universal rule. The institution requesting the document determines its certification requirements. The information above describes common practice. Tell us which institution you are applying to and we will help clarify the required certification.
Preparing your document
- Send the description, claims and drawings together
- Specify the technical field; terminology will be selected accordingly
- Share any translations of previous applications to maintain consistent terminology
- Specify the application deadline at the outset
Frequently asked questions
How are claims translated?
Claims are translated while preserving their sentence structure and without narrowing or broadening their scope, and they undergo a separate review.

The drawings themselves are not translated, but the text and reference descriptions on them are.
