Context As mentioned in both the title and field ["Law/Patents - Law: Patents, Trademarks, Copyright
"] the legal context is "saisie-descriptive et découpage "

"Elles ont fait procéder à la découpe de ces produits suivant procès-verbal "

"en rappelant les différents aspects repris (structure du découpage, format, durée des séquences, genres...)

I ended up using "destruction" - as in cutting up the products involved in the seizure.

"Editing" has nothing to do with a search and seizure procedure: the primarl context, as mentioned, in the legal area, was "saisie-descriptive et découpage"; the secondary context was "procéder à la découpe de ces produits suivant procès-verbal".

Agree. Too risky here. Need to know what the products are.

AllegroTrans Sep 8, 2019:

Asker What are the products? Unless we know, all you will get is guesses

Daryo Sep 8, 2019:

I'm 101% sure than anyone taking the trouble to take into account the whole context of this story will not be stumped at all.

What is all this about?

Elles=??

ces produits=??

etc...

(structure du découpage, format, durée des séquences, genres...) => someone plagiarised a movie?

Context? As noted by Tony, unless we know what the products are, it is impossible to do more than guess.

@ Asker: Context? It is vital here to know what the wider context is! What is your document about? What type of things are being 'découpé' here? I have an idea, but will not make a suggestion without knowing the proper context...
