German term or phrase: einen geweißten Auszug
Wir reichen einen geweißten Auszug einer Kopie der Klageschrift als Nachweis gemäß Art. XXX ein.

This is from a notice of intervention in opposition to a patent. Can anyone help with 'geweißt' please? All I can find is 'whitened copy'. Can that be correct? Google isn't helping me much here.

Thanks in advance!

a redacted copy


Explanation:
Bestimmte Stellen (z. B. vertrauliche Angaben oder Textstellen, die nicht offengelegt werden sollen) wurden in der vorgelegten Kopie geschwärzt bzw. geweißt, sind also verborgen.

Schwärzen - der Text auf weißem Grund wird mit einem schwarzen Balken unkenntlich gemacht
Weißen - der Text auf weißem Grund wird mit einem weißen Balken unkenntlich gemacht (was in dem Fall dazu führen kann, dass gar nicht mehr zu erkennen ist, ob an dieser Stelle überhaupt etwas verborgen wurde)

"Sehr zu begrüßen ist die Absicht der Bundesnetzagentur, keine „Weißungen“ von
geheim zu haltenden Informationen zu akzeptieren, sondern ausschließlich
Schwärzungen
. Zu Recht weist die Bundesnetzagentur darauf hin, dass dadurch im Dokument nicht erkennbar wird, in welchem Umfang geschwärzt (bzw. geweißt) worden ist."

"Redaction in its sanitization sense (as distinguished from its other editing sense) is the blacking out or deletion of text in a document [...]"
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sanitization_(classified_infor...

"Redaction is the separation of disclosable from non-disclosable information by blocking out individual words, sentences or paragraphs or the removal of whole pages or sections prior to the release of the document."

ein geweißter Auszug einer Kopie
a blanked-out excerpt of a copy


Explanation:
Blank comes from the French word of 'blanc' meaning white, besides which we have no indication from the question that there is in fact anything left on the excerpt or - more commonly used in probate / Scots. letters of confirmation - extract to 'redact'.

Compare and contrast 'greying-out' or 'graying-out' as an alternative colo/u/r scheme.

Auszug in a patent office or companies house context also often means a search.

Otherwise, the question could have been extended to inlcude 'einer Kopie' as a 'copy of a copy' makes for ambiguous duplication.

Example sentence(s):
  • If he is unwilling for us to do so, then any letter heading indicating the address for service of the patent applicant should be blanked out when copying correspondence to the claimant (see 1.21 – 1.2
  • After that date the e-mail is greyed out in the recipient box and the recipient knows not to bother to reply. Times, Sunday Times (2007)

  -> If the whole excerpt is blank - except for a header and page number, then it's not strictly a 'redacted' job.
