Introducing Our Partnership With RWS for Translation Rates
One of the trickiest parts of IP cost forecasting is getting a handle on translation costs. They vary widely by language, document length, and provider — and if you don’t have an established relationship with a translation provider, getting reliable estimates can be a challenge.
We wanted to make that easier. That’s why we’ve partnered with RWS to offer their translation rates directly within Prokurio’s IP cost planning platform.
What this means for you
If you’re using Prokurio for cost forecasting, you’ll now see translation cost estimates powered by RWS rates automatically — no setup required.
For firms and applicants without a preferred translation provider, this makes it easy to get reliable, accurate translation estimates without any hassles.
If you already have foreign associate translation costs in Prokurio, or use a different service provider, nothing changes — those will continue to work exactly as before.
And if you’re an existing RWS client with negotiated rates, you can easily upload your own custom rates to Prokurio — giving you cost projections that reflect exactly what you’ll pay.
Why RWS?
RWS has over 60 years of experience in IP translation and is widely recognised as a leader in the space. Their clients include 19 of the top 20 applicants at the World Intellectual Property Organization, and they have deep expertise in delivering patent translations that are ready for filing and compliant with national formalities. For a default rate set, we wanted a partner whose pricing reflects the real-world cost of high-quality patent translation — and RWS was the natural fit.
The Bigger PIcture
This partnership is part of our ongoing effort to make IP cost planning as transparent and reliable as possible. Translation is one of the most significant cost drivers in international patent prosecution, and having predictable, accurate estimates upfront helps IP owners make better decisions about where and when to file.
