As China continues to assert its position as the world’s second-largest economy, its intellectual property (IP) landscape is becoming increasingly important on the global stage. With the growth of China’s IP system, there has been a rising demand for high-quality legal translation services between Chinese and English. This comparative study of Chinese and English IP terminology aims to outline the complexities faced by legal translators working in this field.
One of the most significant challenges is the fundamental differences between the legal systems and terminologies used in China and the West. For example, China’s legal system is based on civil law, while the UK and US systems are based on common law. This results in fundamental differences in the terminology used in IP law. While Chinese IP law places a greater emphasis on administrative enforcement and protection, Western IP law is more focused on litigation and court proceedings.
Furthermore, Chinese and English have different grammatical structures, resulting in different word order and sentence constructions. This can make it difficult to accurately convey the intended meaning of a term or phrase in translation. Additionally, there are differences in the way that intellectual property concepts are understood and applied in China and the West. For example, China’s concept of “moral rights” in copyright law is different from the Western concept of “moral rights.”
