RYUKA Patent Translation Incorporated

The company provides high-quality translation of specifications for patent prosecutions. Our self-developed software, RYUKA Translation Assistant, assists the translators to consistently translate the applications, although it does not translate the applications by itself. The assisting software has significantly reduced translation fees and improved quality. Only specialized international IP law firms can provide such high-quality, cost-efficient translation.
