PLuTO: Patent Language Translations OnlineThe CNGL-affiliated PLuTO project is developing advancedpatent translation technologies that will significantlyreduce the time and costs associated with patent searchand translationResearchers at the Centre for NextGeneraon Localisaon at DCUrecently showcased a newmachine translaon system that promisesto reduce the costs associated with patentsearch and filing in the European Union.The European Commission‐funded PLuTOconsorum, of which DCU is lead partner,exhibited a prototype of its rapid onlinepatent translaon service to 330 patentexperts at the European PatentOffice’s Patent Informaon “We aim to deployConference on 18th October at the personalised, tailoredLyrath Hotel in Kilkenny. The vocabulary and terminologyPLuTO (‘Patent Languagemanagement for patentTranslaons Online’) system isprofessionals across manytailored specifically to the needs oftranslaoninventors seeking informaon onlanguages”exisng patents and otherintellectual property maers. The systemhas generated significant interest amongnaonal patent offices, mulnaonals, lawfirms, and individual IP specialists.The translaon burden when seekingpatent validaon can prove expensive andme consuming for companies. This isdespite the introducon of the LondonAgreement, which aimed to reduce thetranslaon costs of European patentsgranted under the European PatentConvenon. These translaons come atsignificant cost, up to €680 per EU patent,and are oen prohibive to individualinventors and SMEs.Direct Translaon InterfaceAddionally, the increase in IP acvityglobally over the last number of years,parcularly in Asia, means that greateramounts of patent data now exist inlanguages foreign to patent searchersand examiners, thus creang addionaltranslaon needs. The PLuTO project isimproving access to mullingual digitalpatent libraries, thus reducing the meand cost associated with patentinformaon access andfiling.“PLuTO makes use ofexisng web content andthe latest machinetoolsdeveloped by DCUresearchers”, explains projectcoordinator Dr John Tinsley.“Thanks to its specialisaon, the systemis more reliable than general‐purposemachine translaon tools, providing ondemandtranslaon when instant accessto informaon is required. We areworking closely with the European PatentOffice and have already deployed, fromDCU, machine translaon for English‐Portuguese to run live on the EPOwebsite. Ulmately, we aim to deploypersonalised, tailored vocabulary andterminology management for patentprofessionals across many languages”,adds Tinsley.• Segment highlighng • Download in mulple formats • Editable translaon outputCoverage of PLuTO in the Sunday BusinessPost, October 2011For more information onthe PLuTO consortium, visit:www.pluto-patenttranslation.euPrincipal Invesgator Dr Páraic Sheridan ofCNGL presents at the EPO Patent InformaonConference in Kilkenny in Octoberwww.cngl.ie1211
