Prema dostavljenom dodatku, tužitelj može tražiti sva tri predložena termina (i odštetu ili nadonaku štete zbog novonastalih okolnosti, a također i oslobađanje od odgovornosti). Naime, ako je tužitelj vlasnik autorskih prava na patent, onda on traži odgovarajuću naknadu štete tj. radi se o odštetnom zahtjevu, a ako je tužitelj ona strana koja je povrijedila autorska prava vlasnika patenta onda se može raditi i o oslobađanju od odgovornosti. Ako ni jedno od svega ovoga ne predstavlja odgovarajući termin koji možete svrsishodno upotrijebiti, onda sačekajte da se već neko pojavi sa novim prijedlogom ili pokušjte iščupati nešto iz ostatka tog pravnog akta koji prevodite.
