Chinese SIPO introduces machine translation of patents

By Timothy J. Maier on May 9, 2008 11:00 AM
The Chinese State Intellectual Property Office has recently introduced a machine-translation tool for Chinese patents. The new service allows for searching abstracts and bibliographic data in English, as well as machine translation of full-text patent documents, including claims and specifications. While machine translation is generally far from ideal, this service will greatly lower the barriers to accessing Chinese intellectual property.
