Paris Convention / Direct Filing

Source IP specializes in patent translations under the Paris Convention treaty, also known as Direct Filing.  Two of the most common reasons applicants file via the Paris convention are accessibility to non-PCT countries such as Argentina, Venezuela and Taiwan or a very defined patent filing strategy foregoing the  broad protection provided by the PCT.  These filings often involve decisions close to the filing deadline and last-minute updates to the text that must be incorporated into our high-quality patent translations. Source IP’s global presence enables us to provide sworn translations to meet all local patent filing requirements. Global law firms and corporations consistently rely on our knowledge and expertise to ensure all translation requirements are met while taking advantage of significant cost savings in the process. Our filing-ready patent translation service for Paris Convention incorporates our three-step quality assurance process with a final patent attorney review.
