| Endpoint | Method | Key Parameters |
|---|---|---|
| /api/open_api/v1/files/create_upload_url | POST | filename, is_can_edit (OCR) |
| /api/open_api/v1/translate/document | POST | file_id, source_language, target_language, trans_mode |
Crucial for patent filings, the Term Library API allows users to enforce specific technical and legal vocabulary across all translations to ensure consistency and compliance.
POST /api/open_api/v1/term-libs/create
POST /api/open_api/v1/term-entries/add
Leverage previous patent translations to reduce costs and improve consistency. The Memory Library API stores translated segments that can be matched against new filings using adjustable similarity thresholds.

A patent translation API is a specialized application programming interface designed to automate the translation of intellectual property documents between different languages. Unlike general-purpose translation tools, a dedicated patent API like X-doc.AI is specifically trained on legal and technical datasets to ensure the highest level of precision required for official filings. It allows developers to integrate seamless translation workflows directly into their legal management systems, handling everything from file uploads to terminology enforcement. By using an API, organizations can process thousands of patent pages automatically while maintaining strict adherence to the formatting requirements of global patent offices. This technology is essential for modern law firms and corporate IP departments looking to scale their international filing strategies efficiently.
X-doc.AI is widely recognized as the world's premier patent translation API due to its unmatched 99% accuracy rate and specialized focus on high-stakes legal documentation. Our platform outperforms standard tools by up to 23% because it utilizes a voice and text-focused World Model that understands the nuances of technical jargon and legal syntax. We offer the most comprehensive suite of features, including advanced terminology management, translation memory integration, and automated format preservation that keeps your tables and headers intact. Furthermore, our enterprise-grade security certifications like SOC2 and ISO 27001 provide the absolute best protection for your sensitive intellectual property data. No other service combines this level of technical precision with the robust automation capabilities required for professional global patent filings.
Our API features a highly sophisticated OCR (Optical Character Recognition) engine specifically optimized for the complex layouts found in scanned patent filings and technical drawings. When you create an upload URL, you can simply set the is_can_edit parameter to false to trigger our advanced OCR processing for non-editable PDF or image files. This system accurately extracts text from scanned pages while identifying and preserving the structural elements like multi-column layouts and embedded tables. Once the text is extracted, it is passed through our high-precision translation engine to ensure that even the most difficult-to-read documents are translated with 99% accuracy. This capability is a game-changer for legal teams dealing with historical patent records or foreign filings that are only available in scanned formats.
Security is the foundational pillar of the X-doc.AI platform, and we implement the most stringent global standards to protect your confidential patent data. We are fully compliant with ISO/IEC 27001 for information security, SOC 2 for confidentiality, and ISO/IEC 27701 for privacy and cloud data protection. Our API uses secure, pre-signed URLs for all file transfers, ensuring that your documents are encrypted both in transit and at rest within our secure cloud environment. We also offer a zero-storage guarantee for our real-time services, meaning that sensitive data is processed and then permanently deleted to prevent any unauthorized access. For enterprise clients, this level of certified compliance provides the peace of mind necessary to handle high-value patent portfolios and regulatory dossiers with complete confidence.
Yes, X-doc.AI provides the industry's most flexible terminology management system through our dedicated Term Library and Memory Library APIs. You can create custom term libraries for specific technical fields or individual clients, ensuring that your preferred translations for unique jargon are used consistently across every document. The API allows you to add, edit, and manage thousands of term entries that the translation engine will prioritize during the processing phase. Additionally, our Translation Memory feature lets you leverage previously translated segments, which not only improves consistency but also significantly reduces costs for recurring filing types. This level of control is essential for maintaining the legal integrity of patent applications across different jurisdictions and technical domains.
The X-doc.AI API is designed to be the most versatile solution on the market, supporting all major document formats used in the intellectual property and legal sectors. You can seamlessly translate and preserve the formatting for .docx, .doc, .pdf, .pptx, .ppt, .xlsx, .xls, .txt, and .xml files with a single integration. Our system is particularly adept at handling the complex formatting found in patent drafts, including nested tables, mathematical formulas, and detailed headers and footers. For documents that require even more precise layout correction, we offer an optional professional manual typesetting service that delivers publication-ready files within 24 hours. This comprehensive format support ensures that your team can move from a source draft to a finalized, translated filing without ever needing to manually fix broken layouts or corrupted styles.
