German term

Beispiel

German to English Law/Patents Law: Patents, Trademarks, Copyright Disclosure
What is the approved English (US) term for this, in a patent application? Example, Exemplar, Model, Sample, etc.?
Votes to reclassify question as PRO/non-PRO:

Non-PRO (1): Brie Vernier

When entering new questions, KudoZ askers are given an opportunity* to classify the difficulty of their questions as 'easy' or 'pro'. If you feel a question marked 'easy' should actually be marked 'pro', and if you have earned more than 20 KudoZ points, you can click the "Vote PRO" button to recommend that change.

How to tell the difference between "easy" and "pro" questions:

An easy question is one that any bilingual person would be able to answer correctly. (Or in the case of monolingual questions, an easy question is one that any native speaker of the language would be able to answer correctly.)

A pro question is anything else... in other words, any question that requires knowledge or skills that are specialized (even slightly).

Another way to think of the difficulty levels is this: an easy question is one that deals with everyday conversation. A pro question is anything else.

When deciding between easy and pro, err on the side of pro. Most questions will be pro.

* Note: non-member askers are not given the option of entering 'pro' questions; the only way for their questions to be classified as 'pro' is for a ProZ.com member or members to re-classify it.

EACK (asker) Feb 4, 2008:
Context There is no context in the sense of a sentence, since it is a heading. After the "Beschreibung" (Description) of the invention come the Beispiele - In this case, Beispiel 1, Beispiel 2 and Beispiel 3 with Unterbeispiel a and Unterbeispiel b. I cannot remember whether these Beispiele are usually translated as Examples, Samples or Embodiments. I understood Embodiment to be the translation of Ausfuehrungsform
Ruth Wiedekind Feb 4, 2008:
Please provide your sentence (context), so that we can see more clearly.

...is what I would go with (also see: http://www.patentstorm.us/patents/5446036-description.html ).
Peer comment(s):

agree Edith Kelly : it could be anything ... asker gives no context so example will do here ... though I suspect that embodiment is really meant here

I agree, also that "embodiment" could very well be what was meant.
agree Ruth Wiedekind : I al´so found "example" in one of my latest patents (EN-DE) - though all depends from the context.

Thank you, Ruth. :)

agree John Speese : Illustrative embodiment is also used, but again context would help.

Peer comment(s):

disagree Edith Kelly : Sorry to disagree again but simply taking google as a reference, without being versed in patentese, does not make a lot of sense
