Patent Proofreading

Proofreading is a crucial requirement for ensuring quality of any patent application. It gains even more importance when applications are translated into English because the translations may not have taken into account the technical and legal nuances of terminologies used in patent applications. We at IIPRD understand this requirement and ensure that every patent application is semantically and syntactically correct. Also, proofreading of an issued patent is a critical prosecution step as a large percentage of issued patents contain errors. The proofreading process takes into account all office actions, amendments and other changes made to the application post filing. We offer meticulous and error-free Patent Proofreading services. We have a well trained team of proofreaders, who use a combination of electronic and manual proofreading processes, to deliver high quality results. Typically Patent Proofreading includes:

• Language checks for grammar, spelling, and typographical errors
• Document formatting as per Patent Office Standards (USPTO, EPO, PCT, etc.)
• Dependency verification
• Consistency checks
• Checks for correct antecedent basis
