Patent translation errors can be difficult to spot when the translated sentence reads perfectly. Replace \u201cmedian\u201d with \u201caverage,\u201d and the grammar may remain convincing while the calculation\u2014and potentially the scope of protection\u2014changes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
For companies bringing materials, medical devices, manufacturing processes, or software inventions into Korea, this is a filing risk worth examining before approval. A polished specification is not necessarily a faithful one.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The title\u2019s warning needs one qualification: some errors can be corrected after grant, but correction is not an unrestricted opportunity to rewrite a patent. The available procedure, original disclosure, and effect on claim scope all matter. An applicant should never approve questionable terminology on the assumption that it can be repaired later.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
