Case Study: Darby & Darby achieves on-time delivery of five biotech patent translations with TransPerfect Legal Solutions

Darby & Darby - Customer Case Study

Darby & Darby, one of the world’s oldest intellectual property firms expanding into life sciences, faced a critical deadline to translate a major biotechnology patent (approx. 20,000 highly technical words) into five languages over an Easter holiday weekend. They engaged TransPerfect Legal Solutions to meet the four-day turnaround and the strict legal requirements for submissions to European patent offices.

TransPerfect Legal Solutions built customized workflows that split source documents so multiple native-speaking biotechnology-patent experts could work in parallel, leveraged 24/7 production and an ISO 9001:2008 quality process, and delivered Dutch, Greek, Italian, Spanish, and Swedish versions on time. TransPerfect delivered all five translations—totaling over 100,000 words—by the deadline, enabling Darby & Darby to submit the filings as required.
