Case Study: Angiotech achieves 60% cost savings and early Japanese patent filing with TransPerfect

Angiotech - Customer Case Study

Angiotech, a global specialty pharmaceutical and medical device company with an extensive IP portfolio, needed more than 3 million words translated from English into Japanese to file a major patent in Japan. Accuracy and speed were critical—Angiotech required precise, subject-matter–accurate translations within a three‑month deadline and a strict budget—so they engaged TransPerfect for the language services.

TransPerfect assembled a team of Japanese subject‑area specialists and delivered the patent text on a rolling basis while compiling a comprehensive glossary and building a translation memory database for reuse. By using this approach, TransPerfect enabled the patent to be filed ahead of schedule, achieved cost savings of over 60% for Angiotech, and ensured high-quality, consistent translations.
