Profile

Shu Qi is a professional patent translator with a science and engineering background, proficient in translating Chinese, Japanese and English patent documents. Familiar with the Chinese, Japanese and English patent terminology systems, the translator ensures both linguistic accuracy and legal rigour in cross-border filings.

Practice Areas

· Language directions: CN→JP, JP→CN, CN→EN, EN→CN, EN→JP and JP→EN — all six
· Document types: full specifications, claims, office actions, cited references and responses
· Terminology management: dedicated glossaries for regular clients, keeping terms and wording consistent across multiple filings
· Quality control: post-translation review plus technical check, with every claim verified for how the scope is expressed

Professional Background

With a science and engineering background, our translator has long worked on patent-document translation. What separates patent translation from general technical translation is that in the claims the choice of a single numeral or connective directly changes the scope of protection; so before translating, the claims are read through and the hierarchy of the technical solution fixed, and only then is the text written line by line — avoiding a translation that reads smoothly but shifts the scope.
The translator is familiar with the idiomatic differences between the three terminology systems: the Chinese “包括” corresponds to comprising (open) and consisting of (closed) in English — two entirely different constructions — and in Japanese “備える” and “含む” must also be distinguished; choosing wrongly changes the scope of the claim outright. Terminology and format are unified before delivery, so the text can go straight into national-phase entry.

Representative Cases
