R&D and patents are the intellectual assets which demand creative treatment to the subject matter such that the meaning is not lost while translating, and the assets are protected. It demands subtle writing and equally subtle translation.
R&D documentation is very important for the future of the organization and if the organization is multinational, the translation is required to transcend the geographical barriers. The translation for patents is basically done while filing the patents and for providing the information to form the basis for further research and development.
