Common mistakes that trigger an RFE or rejection
Patent submitted with no explanation of significance
A granted patent shows the invention met patent-law requirements, not that it had a major effect on the field. Licensing, commercialization, citations or adoption evidence needs to accompany the translated certificate.
Utility model presented as an invention patent
Utility models are not examined the same way; calling one an "invention patent" is a credibility problem.
Inventor name inconsistent with other exhibits
The inventor name should be romanized exactly as on the passport and every other exhibit.

Is a granted patent enough for the Original Contributions criterion?
Generally no. What carries weight is evidence of licensing, commercialization, citations by other patents, or adoption by other companies.
Do I need the full specification translated?
Usually not — attorneys commonly ask for the certificate plus abstract and claims. See the patent specification page.
