Before 2000, companies mainly in Europe, the United States, and Japan dominated high-tech technology. Therefore, disputes between companies regarding patents in Asian countries were argued based on the English translation of claims (That is, the original English claims). Therefore, it was not a question of whether the claims in each country's language were accurate.
However, especially since 2010, high-tech companies in Asian countries have surpassed Europe, the United States, and Japan in some technologies. As a result, when a patent in those countries becomes a problem, the accuracy of the claims in the language of the country in question has become important.
For this reason, patent staff members in Europe, the United States, and Asian countries, that is, in-house patent staff members, patent attorneys and lawyers in charge of prosecuting applications for the companies, are also considered essential to have the ability to verify claims in Asian countries. Therefore, guidelines such as this book are required as the first step in gaining claim verification capabilities in Asian countries.
The purpose of this book is to speed up the learning process to verify whether claims translated from their home language to other languages are translated correctly when filing patent applications in China, Taiwan, Korea, and Japan. Provided that you have basic knowledge on the written language in question, we assume 3 months on Korean, 6 months on Chinese and Taiwanese Chinese, and 3 months on Japanese.
In general, it is believed that the verification of a translated patent claim is most accurate, by the person in charge of the application who is native to the original language (the first language). For example, many companies verify U.S. claims by the person in charge of the application or the domestic attorney in charge.
Conventionally, we have asked claims translation checkers or local attorneys in the target language (the second language) of translated claims who are second language natives and can understand the first language. However, native speakers of these second languages share the same mistranslation tendencies as the translators (machine translation, PC translation, web translation) of the application, and it is often thought that there is not much meaning in requesting them to verify translated claims.
