3, Translation format

All the patent specification translation texts provided by Sunyu Translation, either in simplified Chinese or traditional Chinese, conform precisely with the format requirements prescribed by State Intellectual Property Office of P.R. China (SIPO) or Taiwan Intellectual Property Office (TIPO). For example the clients of Sunyu Translation will not need to make follow-up modifications on font sizes or layouts of patent specification translations and the processing of drawings in the patent specifications. The translated versions can be submitted directly to SIPO or TIPO for processing.

4, Translation skills

Translators at Sunyu Translation are professionals with educational backgrounds in sciences and engineering, many of whom are holders of Master's degrees with years of translating experience, and who are extremely familiar with the customary translation style and general codes of translation of patent documents. In particular, they can accurately grasp the translations of specialized terminology in patent documents and long sentences in patent disclosure with correct partitions of sentence structures. In addition, they are also able to supply subtitles and component symbols for patent documents that are defective in terms of format so as to make them conform to the patent application requirements.

5, Translation achievements

Translated versions completed by Sunyu Translation can all pass the examinations and approval processes at SIPO or TIPO. According to the feedbacks from our clients, there has been no case in which a patent application has been rejected by SIPO or TIPO for "translation errors".

In addition to translation tasks in simplified Chinese for mainland China, Sunyu Translation is also capable of processing patent documents in traditional Chinese for customer s in the Taiwan region. The usual practice of processing the differences between documents from mainland China and Taiwan region is to make a direct conversion between simplified and traditional Chinese fonts with the help of computer programs. However, this kind of conversion is only on the level of fonts, with the grammar and terminology remaining unchanged. Therefore, this practice often fails to get approvals from SIPO and TIPO. By examining each text in detail and translating with live translators rather than computers, Sunyu Translation is able to turn each and every patent specification into the proper traditional Chinese version for use in the Taiwan region.
