… KIPI is running a customer satisfaction survey on the K2E-PAT
machine translation tool on Korean KIPRIS search service? The Korean Institute of Patent Information (KIPI) hopes that foreign users of Korean patent information using the Korean to English machine translation tool (K2E-PAT) on KIPRIS will provide feedback on its usefulness, as well as on the quality of machine-translated documents. The survey is available at the KIPRIS (Korea Industrial Property Rights Information Service) website at http://eng.kipris.or.kr/
... the K2E-PAT service on KIPRIS provides English titles and applicants' names
for Korean patents and utility models? In July 2008, the Korea Institute of Patent Information (KIPI) enhanced the search functions of the K2E-PAT machine translation service on the KIPRIS database. Users of K2E-PAT now have available 23 search fields, including a search with English keywords in original Korean data (cross-lingual patent retrieval function).
On top of machine-translated search results, K2E-PAT now also provides English titles of Korean patents and utility models, and English transliterations of applicants' names as filed by the applicants.
Although obtaining K2E-PAT machine translations of Korean full texts is a fee-based service, searching and displaying the results list (including the English titles and applicants' names filed by the applicants) is free-of-charge.
The K2E-PAT machine translation service is available at: http://k2epat.kipris.or.kr/k2epat/searchLogina.do?next=GeneralSearch
