Lyle Ball

Lyle Ball, the Chief Operating Officer for MultiLing, an innovative leader in IP translations and related services joins Enterprise Radio. Lyle oversees global operations, including 8 offices around the world and more than 2200 employees and contractors.

Listen to interview with host Eric Dye & guest Lyle Ball discuss the following:

  • What are some of the steps companies must take when filing patents overseas? Where does translation come in?
  • How do you recommend companies work with translators to file their patents?
  • How important are accurate translations really when filing patents? How often are mistakes made and what could happen as a result?
  • What are the most difficult languages for translation?
  • How do clients ensure that translations are accurate, especially if they don’t speak the language in which the patent application is being translated?

Tip: Make sure your priority application is accurate and absent of ambiguity in English before you even consider translating it…from both scientific and legal stand points. Flaws in the source document often create confusion that results in even greater problems in translated documents.
