Client Feedback
What Our Clients Say
"Kaplan handled the Japanese-to-English translation of a dense electronics patent. The claim language came through accurately and the filing went off without an office action on translation grounds."
Daniel R.
Patent Attorney
"We needed PCT national-phase translations in four languages on a tight deadline. The terminology was consistent across all of them, which tells me they used proper glossaries."
Sofia M.
In-House IP Counsel
"Their translators clearly understand the technical subject matter. For prior art and office action responses, that accuracy saves us prosecution headaches."
