Translations
To take effect in the Netherlands, a European patent must be validated within three months of being granted. As part of this process, a Dutch translation of the claims must be submitted. One of our key specialties is translating patent texts from one of the official languages of the European Patent Office (English, French, or German) into Dutch.
At DOGIO, we have in-house translators who specialise in patent texts and work with them daily. Each translator brings expertise in a specific technical field, such as chemistry, engineering, or information technology. As a result, our translations meet the highest standards of quality and are fully accepted by the Dutch patent office.
