Patent Translation (Chinese → English)
I speak Chinese at a C1 level on the CEFR scale, and I combine this language ability with deep patent expertise to deliver precise, technically accurate translations.
Whether you need a full patent application, Office Action response, technical specification, or supporting document translated into English, I can ensure the result is both linguistically natural and professionally aligned with patent-office expectations.
IP Courses
I offer tailored courses on Intellectual Property designed to help businesses understand what IP is, how it can be protected, and which forms of IP protection are most appropriate for their ideas or commercial activities.
IP law is complex, and obtaining IP protection can be both costly and time-consuming. A clear understanding of IP law allows companies to make informed strategic decisions, helping them avoid unnecessary filings and focus resources on protection that delivers real value.
My courses take an international perspective, with a particular focus on US and European IP law due to their global commercial importance. Where required, I can also provide instruction on local and Asian IP law to suit your business needs.
