demostrablemente distinto Explanation: As Mariana's own webref shows, "colo(u)rable" has many meanings in law, some of them overtly contradictory. I don't think "razonablemente" is quite strong enough here. For a difference to be "colorable" it would have to be "demonstrable" before any judge or arbitrator called upon to resolve a claim, hence my suggested translation: demonstrablemente distinto -------------------------------------------------- Note added at 1 hr (2016-10-27 18:55:36 GMT) -------------------------------------------------- Ups! - my British fingers have taken control: demostrablemente distinto, without the 'n' |

semejante en grado de confusión / diferencia superficial Explanation: As I've explained in the discussion, "colorably different" means "similar to the point of confusion" or "insignificantly different". However, the writer has drafted the sentence so poorly that they have actually said the opposite of what they meant, which is that "X requests an ongoing royalty of $1.06 per phone applied to all phones that are no more than colorably different from the accused phone". In other words, X wants royalties charged on all phones that have been manufactured with only insignificant differences from X's phones, or which basically were made to look like them with a couple of minor changes that would probably confuse the public into thinking they were actually X's phones. Colorable alteration refers to a small modification or a change made to an invention. However, such alteration is made only to distinguish an invention or work from an existing patent or copyright. http://definitions.uslegal.com/c/colorable-alteration-intell... (The word can also carry a special meaning in trademark law — when used in the phrase "colorable imitation", it refers to an object and means "so similar to [something trademarked] that people might be confused about which is which". https://www.quora.com/What-does-the-word-colorable-mean-when... |
