PCT national phase

National phase entry needs one consistent translation, not a rushed one

Entering the national phase of a PCT application means the claims and specification need an accurate, terminology-consistent translation on a deadline. PatentLingo reads the whole draft, builds a glossary before translating, and shows a price by character count before you upload.

  • docx patent drafts
  • Full specification and claims covered
  • Quote before you pay

Where this fits in PCT work

National phase entry drafts

Translate claims and specification into the target country's language ahead of the entry deadline.

Applicant-side review copies

Get a readable translation of a PCT application to review scope and content before instructing local counsel.

Agency intake workflows

Produce a first-pass, terminology-consistent translation for an agent to revise rather than draft from scratch.

How a PCT draft is handled

01

Upload docx

Submit the PCT application text as a Word file so the workflow reads claims, description and numbering.

02

Preview and quote

See a free preview and the price based on character count before committing to the full translation.

03

Translate with a locked glossary

Claims and specification are translated together, reusing the same glossary for consistency.

Why this matters for PCT filings

Deadline-aware turnaround

Real-time progress during translation helps you plan around the national phase deadline.

Claims and specification aligned

The same terminology is used in both, reducing scope-mismatch risk during review.

Price known before upload

Character-count tiered pricing means no surprise cost close to a filing deadline.

Assisted review available

In Assisted mode, review and edit the domain and glossary before the full run.

PCT translation questions

Does this replace local patent counsel for national phase entry?

No. It produces a reviewable draft translation. Local counsel or a patent agent should still review and handle the formal filing requirements for each jurisdiction.

Can it translate the full specification and all claims?

Yes, the whole docx document is used as context and translated, subject to the character-count pricing tier shown before upload.

How fast is it?

Turnaround depends on document length; you can track progress in real time once translation starts.

Can I preview quality before paying?

Yes. Upload the draft, preview a free sample, then decide whether to run the full translation.

Which formats are supported?

Only docx (Word) drafts are supported today; PDF and other formats are planned.
