Due to the increasing importance of Intellectual Property protection in China, we have opened an office in Beijing and are establishing a wholly-owned Chinese subsidiary.

Headed by a former UK and Chinese patent attorney, this new facility enables RWS to offer companies around the world a cost-effective, local resource for patent translations and filing.

Into Chinese translations for filing purposes are prepared by native experts. Our rates are below average Chinese patent attorney translation charges - with no typing fee. We can translate from an English application or an English translation prepared by RWS.

Our Chinese office maintains excellent working relationships with Chinese patent law firms, many of whom are located in Beijing . We can visit each client's Chinese associate before delivering the first translation, and explain that we specialize in patent specifications and will work together with them to provide the quality they demand.

Should a client wish to change their patent company, we are also able to assist. We have formed strategic alliances with several reputable attorney firms who understand the quality of translations we provide. All of these give special filing rates to applicants introduced by RWS. Firm profiles are available on request.

We are happy to provide a detailed estimate and an indication of likely filing costs. All we require is the number of your published PCT application, or the application text in electronic format.
