I perform premium quality, human translations where accuracy is essential; you can count on me (not AI, machine translation or a large language model) standing behind the translation you are relying on. Documents I translate include patents and patent applications for filing and for evidence, and related documents involving: prosecution, opposition and litigation (prior art, filings, pleadings, notices, office actions, opinions of the search authority, briefs, court and administrative decisions, and expert witness reports).
And I also provide preliminary amendments for filing with the USPTO to accompany my translations of patent applications.

I am available as an expert witness on translation from French into English of patents and evidence.

I provide relevant statements and declarations, including statements of accuracy required by Title 37 CFR 1.52(d)(1).

I research, write and publish in physics history focused on the work of Henri Poincaré. Please see my pages on this research. If you are interested in a translation of a historical scientific document in French, especially in math or physics, from the 19th or early 20th centuries please contact me.
