German term

Institut

German to English Law/Patents Law (general) litigation
Hi, I don't understand the use of 'Institut' below. Thanks in advance.
Ohne das von der Rechtsprechung entwickelte Institut der unberechtigten Schutzrechtsverwarnung ergäbe sich keine wirksame Handhabe, um einem möglicherweise existenzgefährdenden Eingriff in seine Kundenbeziehungen durch die unberechtigte Geltendmachung von Ausschließlichkeitsrechten gegenüber seinen Abnehmern entgegenzutreten
Proposed translations (English)
4 +4 (legal) concept

(legal) concept

Rechtsinstitut = Rechtseinrichtung, z.B. Sicherungsübereignung, Güterstand, ...; i.w.S. der rechtliche Tatbestand einschl. der auf das R. bezüglichen Vorschriften. (Quelle: Creifelds, Rechtswörterbuch)
hier eben: I.d. unberechtigten Schutzrechtsverwarnung

agree Steffen Walter : Legal 'concept' or 'principle' - see http://www.proz.com/kudoz/german_to_english/law_general/3889...

agree AllegroTrans : This is fine but it is, after all, a synonym of "notion"

notion

Peer comment(s):
disagree SelecTra : zu schwach

This is not substantially different to "concept" and as a non-native speaker I do wonder, with respect, about your credentials to disagree outright
disagree Peter Leeflang : Disagree as I have not found various legal phrases saying 'nation of unjustified'. So this is uncommon.

It doesn't have to be "common" to be comprehensible and correctly-used English
neutral Cilian O'Tuama : "as a non-native speaker I do wonder" means that YOU are not a native speaker - hardly what you meant?
5 hrs
I would think it's obvious what I meant-what about your own comment on my answer? (reason for "neutral")
agree philgoddard : Don't you hate it when people tell you how to speak your own language.

Thank you for your native-language support
agree writeaway : definitely not 100% wrong
17 hrs
thank you
neutral Björn Vrooman : Not going to get involved with regard to the main question. But you seem to have dropped "-warnung" from your sentence in the explanation box. It's about "unjustified threats," not "unjustified infringement" (see discussion).
18 hrs
good point
agree Paul Skidmore : both "notion" and "concept" are good. In an English context, for example, we would refer to the "notion of duty of care" or "concept of duty of care", which is something developed in case law just like the notion of unberechtigte Schutzrechtsverwarnung

provision/mechanism

Notion is good. But Institut suggests its even more tangible than that.

The unjustified threats provision/mechanism developed by case law
