The LexTranslate Kat
New legal translation service for IP documents and decisions!

A translator of legal documents should be a lawyer and a linguist. Katfriends Diana Vaccaro and Simonetta Buccellato wish to let IPKat readers know that they provide such service: LexTranslate has in fact created a network of lawyer-linguists combining their legal expertise with an extensive knowledge of foreign languages.

What if “application for a trademark” is translated in Spanish with “demanda de marca” instead of “solicitud de marca” or “patent claim” in Italian with “richiesta del brevetto” instead of “rivendicazione del brevetto”; or if a translator is not familiar with the IP authorities’ websites?

When a client assigns a translation task to LexTranslate, it gathers: (1) High quality services in more than twelve languages; (2) Translations by legal experts specialized in the area of law relevant to the source document; (3) Full compliance with confidentiality and timing agreed.

No margin for error with legal translations is admitted and LexTranslate will avoid this risk. To learn more about Diana and Simonetta’s services, visit www.lextranslate.com

No comments:

All comments must be moderated by a member of the IPKat team before they appear on the blog. Comments will not be allowed if the contravene the IPKat policy that readers' comments should not be obscene or defamatory; they should not consist of ad hominem attacks on members of the blog team or other comment-posters and they should make a constructive contribution to the discussion of the post on which they purport to comment.

It is also the IPKat policy that comments should not be made completely anonymously, and users should use a consistent name or pseudonym (which should not itself be defamatory or obscene, or that of another real person), either in the "identity" field, or at the beginning of the comment. Current practice is to, however, allow a limited number of comments that contravene this policy, provided that the comment has a high degree of relevance and the comment chain does not become too difficult to follow.
